Worst “Dr” I have ever encountered. He grossly misdiagnosed me and called me a hypochondriac! I was dying from 2 rare cancers at the time, a real Dr discovered the next week! I also have a rare autoimmune he could have found with blood work. QUACKS LIKE A ??!

Dr. Phillips is a kind and caring man. When my mother was living, she saw him for shoulder injections and also for her Polymyalgia Rheumatica. He was always very sweet to her and we could not ask for a doctor with a better bedside manner. Dr. Phillips also ran tests on me to determine if I had Rheumatoid Arthritis and ordered X-rays of my sore hands. Thank goodness I did not have RA to go along with the Osteoarthritis and Fibromyalgia that I do have. One of my best friends also sees Dr. Phillips for her RA and Fibro. I can assure you that if I EVER need a Rheumatologist again, I will see Dr. Phillips. The care that he has given me and my loves ones has always been exceptional!

The receptionist was rude and confrontational. She insisted I make my 2nd appointment with a different person.

This guy is rude, condescending, unintelligent, and lazy. Mocked me instead of sending me to a real Dr. Worst experience of my life!
