Dr Philips was kind, informative and put me at ease. I would highly recommend him.
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
My doctor was extremely great in listening to me issues and helping me great doctor ty
Easy to contact a person when calling the office. Everyone is always very polite and helpful whenever I have a question.
Dr philips is a good listener. Was very helpful in outlining next steps
Parking at this location is tight always.
Other than the wait, which having a 2pm appointment is just going to run long. I get that, but other than that, I love my Dr. He is the best thing that has ever happened to my back,,, God bless him, seriously.
Dr Philips has is always will be amazing!
I was listened to and the questions were relevant
Dr. Philips was very thorough and informative, answered all my questions, and spent as much time as I needed in the visit. My only complaint was how long it took me to get in to see him, but that's not his fault because he's very highly respected and very much in demand.
Dr. Philips explained my situation in a way that reassured me and said that no immediate action was necessary and to call him if anything changed.
Since moving my healthcare to Southcoast health I can honestly say I have never felt more comfortable about my future health care.
Dr. Philips was very caring and informative. I appreciate the time that he dedicated to us. He is the best!
You should let patients know that there is on-site parking at this facility since it is in a heavily congested area.
Dr. Philips is truly one in a million. Brilliant, incredibly skilled, yet so down to earth and easy to talk to. Both his expertise and compassion are unmatched. Highly recommend.
Gave the best advice and care for the future.

Had to wait a half hour to be seen.
Answer any question I had and friendly
Well, mannered Doctor
I was fully informed and very comfortable with my visit. I felt better when I left the appointment. Of course it was my first appointment, but I am able to look ahead to what is next.
Matthew Philips was very informative and professional.
understood the pain and the treatment needed
My appointment went well and I was satisfied with the end result of the appointment!
Just continue with how well your office treats patients, I don't have any negative to say. [Name] [Name]u00A0
Taking the time to fully explain all available options for treatment. And for "seeing" me as a person rather than an elderly patient requiring care.
Dr. Philips was extremely wonderful. They put me on a cancellation list for which they were so right there to take care of me. They asked me about two. I was busy on one, and I took the second. I was shocked because many places say they will put me on one, but they never do. This is my first appointment with Dr. Philips, and outside of feeling better, I hope to always have him as a doctor. Thank you.
Dr.Philips is awesome. Explains everything so I understand. Takes the time I need with him and what the next step is.
Dr Philips is by far the best Neuro-Surgeon I have ever encountered. He is wonderful.
No improvement needed. Dr. Philips was amazing. He was very caring and compassionate. He went above and beyond. I am now bringing my boyfriend in for a visit with him. I am very pleased with the kindness of the staff and the quick appointment availability. I will definitely return to this office and Dr Philips.
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.
Dr. Philips is a top notch provider. One of the few that actually listens all the time.
