Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Hip replacement long term performance
I saw Dr Phillips for a hip replacement-4 years ago. It’s been 14 years and over 28,000 miles logged and still going strong. Owe it all to this miracle worker.

Highly recommend!
Dr. Phillips replaced one of my hips and one of my knees. Both surgeries were completed as outpatient and I went home the same day each time. I will trust him, and his team, to replace the other two joints soon. He, and his team, took time with me, were professional, and I had no problems after either surgery.

Dr. Philips did my total right hip replacement years ago and just saw him as a checkup. X-rays show all is fine. When time comes if needed to be replaced I wouldn't hesitate having him do it. His staff is great too.

Dr Phillips performed my hip replacement surgery four days ago. I was able to return home the same day and my recuperation has been progressing smoothly. Prior to surgery he took time to make sure I was well informed re: the surgery and that all my questions were answered. Dr Phillips & his staff are professional, kind, patient and highly respected by the hospital & home care staff - everyone told me I had “the best orthopedic surgeon”, and based on my experience I agree!!! I would highly recommend him!

Dr. Phillips performed a hip replacement on me in SEP 2019. It was a life-changing event for me. After struggling with pain and limited/declining mobility for several years, his excellent work has returned me to full functionality and zero pain. In fact, my knee pain also disappeared as well as my sciatica - a 3-for-1 deal. I cannot thank this great doctor and his team enough. I have and will continue to recommend him to others. Don't live with the pain - see Dr. Phillips.

On a recent visit to New York I fell broke my hip. Dr. Phillips operated on me and did a FANTASTIC job. I was in rehab facility for two weeks and after a check up with Dr. Phillips I was allowed to come home to VIRGINIA. Would highly recommend him for surgery. Thank you Dr. Phillips.
