    How was your appointment with Dr. Phillips?

    Jan 05, 2023
    I know this is a long review, but Dr. Benjamin Phillips is outstanding and moves with excellence. When I first found out I had to have surgery, it became a real scary and stressful time for me. I had to advocate for myself. This is especially true when you are looking for the right surgeon. I interviewed five surgeons and realized three of them didn't have right diagnosis and the ability to treat me. I finally came across one doctor and I figured he knew his speciality, but I hesitated on signing the paperwork for him to do the surgery. Something continued bother me about the first doctor I agreed upon despite setting a surgery date. It was also close to my colonoscopy time. I remembered Dr. Benjamin Phillips . I remembered how personable and qualified he was doing my procedure ten years ago. Long story short, I went to see Dr. Benjamin Phillips a week before my surgery for a consultation. Upon the consultation, I realized he was very qualified to deal with my situation and his personable attitude won me over. I love his jokes, but he also no nonsense. ?? On a serious note, he is a top outstanding expert in his field. He collaborated with my PCP and he performed my surgery on the original date I had with the other surgeon. Yes, the turnaround from consultation was quick. After the surgery, he initiated a telephone call to go over the pathology report before the follow up visit. The two follow up visit went well. His team was awesome and phenomenal through the process from start to finish. Whether you need a colonoscopy or surgery, Dr. Benjamin Phillips is phenomenal. Honorable mentions that are phenomenal and on his team are as follows: Dr. Lamm- Resident and Fellow Joanna Sutor - Nurse Practitioner Sally Fernandez - Nurse Practitioner Sade Miles- Scheduling Coordinator Surgical Team Dr. Hunt- Anesthesiologist Cindy - Nurse Anesthetist Janeen Duckworth- Telemed Nurse Practitioner Heather, Jill, Brenna, Amber , Heather, Jean and Liz
