Dr. Philip Skidd, MD

Every single question I asked, was answered with knowledge and compassion. I felt very well cared for in a system that usually is cold Dr. Skidd thank you very much for all that you do!

I had a sudden vision issue occur in 2021 and neurology recommended I see neuro ophthalmology. Wait lists in VT were very long and it was 2023 before I got into neuro ophthalmology. My vision disturbance was not occurring on the day of the appointment. I was hesitant to go as I thought it would be a waste of time for him and myself. However, he was able to figure out the problem quickly and suggest a treatment. He also had knowledge of my underlying condition and had read my medical records in advance (which is not common with many specialists I’ve seen). I would highly recommend Dr. Skidd. He made a genuine effort to help and was kind, not dismissive and did not automatically blame the symptom on another specialties purview (which is common and leaves patients in an endless runaround). His office is worth the wait and I would go as far as to say it was equal expertise of care as in Boston and better patient care with support and administrative staff.

Dr. Skidd is the most rude and arrogant doctor I have ever met. He tried to connect all my prior medical problems with my current eye/neurological problem (consulted quite a few other doctors since and they are not related whatsoever). Completely dismissed anything I tried to say. He might be a good ophthalmologist, but I wouldn't know because his attitude and bedside manner are horrible.

I can't say enough about Dr. Skidd. I am so pleased. He, as well as all of the staff are extremely thorough and wonderful!

Dr. Skidd misdiagnosed the cause of my eye problem. Those things happen. However, the cause of the misdiagnosis was either not knowing basic anatomy or not knowing left from right. Dr. Skidd was very sure of his diagnosis and almost had me convinced. Thankfully, I saw a much more qualified doctor out of state who corrected the misdiagnosis and provided me with an implement to mitigate my double vision. Dr, Skidd had attempted to do the same with a piece of cellophane tape.
