It is seldom, if ever, that I will write a review for anyone or anything. Life is short and time is a commodity every bit as valuable as money. Both of which, I have very little. There is also a time to make sure that others know when a service of quality is available at a fair price. Dr Phillips is one of those dentists you have to make sure the public knows about. I truly believe my family could be the benchmark of dental nightmares. I’ve actually had one dentist ask us to find another dentist because our family has problems that escalate quickly and are hard to control. We were much too much of an imposition; our teeth required too many emergency visits, too much time intruding on his personal life. I’ll tell you a small bit of our background. I’m a mother of six children. When my oldest was young, each time he would develop a cavity, we would call the dentist and try to get an appointment. If even a small amount of time elapsed before we could get in, say even a week, my son would go from tooth pain to abscess. I think he had more root canals by the time he was ten then I have had my entire life. As a result, dentist after dentist said our family had poor enamel. Dr Phillips saw my children for the first time when my oldest was thirteen or fourteen. Right away, he saw that it was not a case of poor enamel, but a case of poor dentin, a much more serious situation. It is also a rare condition. To obtain proper treatment, it required a consultation between Dr Phillips and another dentist in Seattle, Washington. I found it extraordinary that he knew exactly where to go to get that professional guidance. I don’t know how many times some member of our family has come to sit in Dr Phillips chair only to have to be referred to another dentist to receive the appropriate treatment, ultimately, with no monetary compensation coming to Dr Phillips. And every time Dr Phillips knows exactly which endodontist, which orthodontist, which doctor can administer the appropriate care. These days, fortunately, most situations keep us solely in Dr Phillips care as he has educated us to better home dental care and prescription toothpastes. Something I probably would have overlooked without the knowledge he has imparted. Over the years, I’ve grown to trust Dr Phillips with my whole heart (and mouth), because I know his first priority is to solve the problem in the teeth. He is there to do a quality job, at a fair price. I had the privilege of growing up in a family that worked in the medical community. I’ve seen more than my share of doctors and nurses who did shoddy work and were there only to clock the hours away and bank a check at the end of the week. Every profession is full of that type of person. There are precious few who consider the quality of their work as the ultimate priority. Dr Phillips is excellent. I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

Dr. Tom crafted my veneers and crowns. Throughout my life I have had the benefit of great medical care. Without question, Dr. Tom Phillips is among the most talented surgeons I have met. His early training as an engineer is easily seen. This man is detailed, almost obsessive in making certain that every tooth, every angle, every surface is perfect. Cosmetic work can be expensive. Yet, I when I consider all of his education, post graduate training, and relentless striving for getting it right, I believe I received a good value. Dr. Tom gave me the smile I wanted. Dr. Phillips has a hobby of racing Porches. He loves going fast. Yet, when he is performing surgery, he is as patient as a Zen master. Under his hand, you will never feel rushed. He gives you the feeling that you are the most important person in his world. And I promise you that at the moment he is working on you--- you are. It has been said that doctors do not make the best patients. In my case, I believe this was true. So, while I was not the perfect patient, I will say without hesitation, he was the perfect doctor.

Ive been seeing Dr. Tom Phillips for almost 25 years now. I wouldnt consider going to anyone else for dental work and cleanings, and I dread the day he decides to retire. Over the years I have had several crowns, and always the quality of Dr. Toms work is beyond compare. These crowns have lasted a lot longer than the average, which I am positive is due to Dr. Toms precise work and uncompromising insistence on quality. The rest of the staff are just as concerned with doing things right and seeing that you have a comfortable, relaxing experience while in the office. Barb (at the front desk), and Jane (hygienist) treat my husband and I like family, and are never in too big a hurry to discuss our treatment, payment, health, family matters... whatever! I highly recommend Dr. Phillips office...you will not be disappointed!

Until we found Dr. Phillips, our dentist had been more than 1 1/2 hours from our home. What a blessing it has been to begin a relationship with Dr. Tom and his staff. From the moment I arrived for my first visit until I left, I was never rushed. Most importantly, at every step along the way, I was told exactly what he was going to do. Dr. Tom takes his time and does everything right the first time. I had a bad cavity and was dreading the shot to numb me, but for the first time, it didnt hurt! When I had my teeth cleaned, that, too, had been a nightmare before, but not with Jane, Dr. Toms hygienist. She took her time, explained what she was doing and asked me if I had any questions. I would recommend Dr. Phillips unequivocally! He is a dentists dentist!

i havent been to the dentist in years, all because one awful experience. i really needed to go see the dentist, and was able to get in the same day. i am SO glad i found Dr. Phillips and his staff. The woman who made my appointment had me feeling very sure of my decision just from talking to her on the phone. It was even better at the office! They are all so extremely friendly and laid back, yet very professional. They made me feel at ease about getting work done on my teeth, and didnt make me feel judged at all. I only wish i found them sooner! I recommend this office to anyone in need of a dentist! They are AWESOME!
