Extremely knowledgeable & thorough provider! Listened carefully & patiently to all that I communicated about my complicated Medical history & current complaints. I am very appreciative of her care & have high hopes for successful treatment.
I felt so much better emotionally because the cause of my problem was explained so well to me.
At the end of my visit it wasn't very good, the staff doesn't tell you what to do to finish the visit, they leave you standing there without giving you instructions.
Dr. Philip was great!
Dr. Philip and her staff are absolutely delightful. Even the nurses, the aid, everybody treats me like I'm a queen. Not a negative thing about them.
Dr Philip is absolutely amazing - it is so obvious that she truly cares deeply about giving each patient the attention they need.
I love the doctor that did my procedure for me
Dr Philip was very helpful and knew how to keep my mind off of the testing she was doing by keeping me in conversation. I really enjoyed her during our appointment. Definitely will recommend her to family and friends.
Everyone was congenial and helpful from the front desk to the staff assistants. This doctor has an excellent bedside manner.
She's fantastic! Very thorough and so knowledgeable!
These days, it is so hard to find a doctor that is willing to truly take some extra time to listen. Very much appreciate the effort and look forward to finding a solution to my issue
Dr Philip is caring and takes time to understand my medical situation and needs. I wish all my doctors were as considerate and helpful as Dr Philip.
I feel very grateful.

Thank you Dr Philip and assistant Nancy!
Dr. Philip is a wonderful physician!
As a new patient, I was able to get a sooner than expected appointment. Everyone at the office was very friendly and professional.
Dr Philips always knows my history and talks me thru everything and make sure I understand what's going on. She gave me exercises to do for my back and that was most helpful. Always happy when I walk out and feel like I understand what's going on.
Dr Philip makes it easy to talk to her.
[...] All my service that I received had been excellent, so I just wanted to make sure that that was captured.
Dr. Philip is a really nice person and seeing her is always informative and helpful.
My visit with Dr. Philip was excellent! She was informative of the examination procedure, communicated her preliminary findings, was kind to share her differentials. She is extremely knowledgeable and personable. Although I wouldn't want another EMG, I wouldn't want the procedure done by any other provider except her. Thank you!
The doctor was thorough.
Both Dr. Philip and the young man that assisted on both visits are excellent in what they do. I am lucky to have them while having this back problem.
Dr. Kemly Philip was very kind. She explained what was going on with me. She was very patient, made sure all my questions were answered. I just think she's terrific. And her assistant was very nice too. Overall, my care experience has been a delight at Beauty Health. Thank you.
Everyone - front desk, intake nurse, Doctor Philip, everyone - was competent, professional, and genuinely interested in my situation.
I received excellent care.
