Offers Telehealth

My interest in becoming a doctor can be traced to elementary school when every kid is asked what they want to be when they grow up. Surgery became a clear career decision because it provided instant results and changes in my patients' condition. To this day, I still get excited about going to the operating room and being able to immediately affect the lives of my patients. I specifically enjoy reconstructive surgery and hope to help people who suffer from congenital disorders, cancer, and trauma. My clinical interests include complex oncologic microsurgical reconstruction from head to toe. Additionally, I am interested in both dynamic and static facial reanimation procedures for adult and pediatric patients. In my free time, I enjoy spending time and traveling with friends and family. Dr. Phillips is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in Mastectomy. His top areas of expertise are Facial Paralysis, Breast Cancer, Necrosis, Mastectomy, and Pancreaticoduodenectomy.
