Blake Bodendorfer, MD Reviews Coming Soon
I have rarely experienced the smooth and friendly service that I get at this medical office. Such a perfect balance between professionalism and personability! They are efficient, but I don’t feel like I’m a cog in a wheel. The doctor always has time to answer my questions. All around, a very comfortable, satisfying experience as a patient.
Kindra F.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.
Kelly “.I've been here several times for different issues. Dr. Bowdino, his PA....Charlie and his nurse Cala are excellent, thorough and friendly. It's like coming home.
