I had a massive pimple that she was able to resolve easily. She offered her direct contact information for me to provide feedback and stop back in for another steroid boost if the first one didn't resolve anything.
Love Dr Phillips! My favorite dermatologist ever. I always recommend her to friends. She's personable, sweet, knowledgable, and always puts me at ease.

Long wait, doctor saw me for 5-10 minutes total then prescribed me a standard treatment without asking hardly any questions.
I think the waiting took longer than the actual diagnosis. She was very personable though and knew what she was talking about
She was great. But like other derms I have seen before, they move quickly, Would like to have had more of a full screening.
Very friendly and knowledgeable, easy to talk to. Figured out what I had right away and provided the treatment promptly .
