We LOVE Dr Phillips. There are no words to relay our gratitude and appreciation for him and the journey we've been on with him for the last 5 years. Seeing my daughter in the big chair so at ease with her Dr is heart melting. He's given her, her voice literally.

Dr. Phillips was excellent. He even called to follow-up later that afternoon and referred us to the cardiologist in the same day. We saw the cardiologist the very next day. I trust him immensely with my daughter's care.
