How likely are you to recommend Dr. Phillips?
I had a cervical spine surgery with Dr. Phillips 15 years ago. I was in constant pain, and the surgery eliminated my pain. I recently had a second surgery with Dr. Phillips. I could not walk. Sleeping was difficult. Non surgical interventions did not eliminate my leg pain, so it was time to consider surgery. Dr. Phillips takes a conservative approach to surgery. I was confident that he would recommend the least aggressive surgery to address the issue. He recommended a two level surgery with a fusion at one level. I knew I was in good hands. Post surgery, the PAs quickly e-mailed answers to my questions. One month after surgery, I had many more good days than bad. Five months after surgery, I walked 10 miles. I am thrilled that I can hike and bike again. Dr. Phillips is a leader in the area of spine surgery. His intellectual curiosity and drive for better outcomes with shorter recovery times benefits his patients. I am lucky to have Dr. Phillips as my surgeon.

About Me
- Patients with spinal problems are really a group that has a lot of challenges. They're used to dealing with a lot of spinal pain that really affects their function. They've often, before they see us, seen many other doctors, been given different opinions, and sort of feel lost, frustrated. And I think the way I manage these patients is to work through those issues with them. And many times we have very reasonable treatments that will help resolve the pain and get these patients functioning again. I got interested in spinal disorders during my orthopedic surgery training. And in those days, we really did not have a lot of good options for patients with spinal problems. In recent years a number of motion-preserving options have been developed, and we've participated in a number of FDA trials evaluating these technologies. In the right patient, a motion sparing technique can work very well with results at least equivalent, if not better to some of the traditional surgeries we've been performing for many years.
