MD West ONE Reviews
Jess has such a passion to help her patients that is hard to find in healthcare. I came to the realization today that I had given up. She alone reignited my passion to fight, reiterating what it is we’re fighting for and why. The fight is about me, my health and my quality of life, proving that I’m not alone in this fight. Thank you Jess, for being in this fight with me and for me till the end!
TJ M.I found the staff to be very helpful, nice, and friendly. The Dr. explained everything she felt was going on and included me in the decision of care now and the options I have going forward.
Jessie C.Dr. Phillips is very patient while addressing your concerns. He talks to you, not at you. Nice staff. Surgery in the future so no comments on that yet.
