Positive - Professional staff. Nice office.Negative - long wait.
I got my first appointment right away. The second one that I was hoping for, I guess the doctor was busy, but I would have liked a couple of questions answered, but I think I'll have time for that.
A few times I waited more than a half hour
First time meeting with this doctor. He was very easy to talk to and asked the right questions. I felt comfortable and confident that he might be able to address my condition with surgery.
Explained all important mattersListened carefully Very thorough
Office staff was very friendly and the Dr. explained things to me in a way I could understand.
Dr. Phillips was very educated in his specialty, provided great examples, read and showed me pictures of my MRI which was not done with any other provider. If I ever needed surgery in the future, I'd trust his m to work on me.
Explained everything to me in a compassionate, caring manner
I think Dr. Phillips is the best, best, best neurosurgeon in the East Coast. I mean, he's the best provider. I'm sorry, I'm not saying it correctly, but there is no other neurosurgeon in our area. Even in Boston, he's the best. So I tell everybody, if you need any kind of neurological stuff done to see him, he's fantastic. He's caring and he's just so smart about everything and he's a really nice person too. Thank you.
The provider was polite, informative, and comprehensive. Couldn't have asked for a better appointment.
First visit here after several years. The staff were very courteous, professional and helpful.
Instead of having to go to Dartmouth to see dr Philips cuz I don't drive the secretary was able to get dr p to Fall River to see me and he relieved me that my next brain surgery won't be as bad as the last
Visit went well all good
Great visit. The staff was professional and courteous and Dr. Philips explained everything in a manner to which I could understand. He was very thorough, knowledgeable and confident about how to proceed before and after surgery. I am very pleased after my visit.
My needs are always taken care of
Dr. Philips has been my neurosurgeon for 24 years and has got me back on my feet every time from the surgery and kept me from having surgery many other times. So yes, he has provided me well and he's a great man and we highly respect him and we refer him to many people. So I hope that helps.
