Dr. Phillips is devoted to providing excellent care to his patients, whether on the operating room table, or during their recovery. “Cardiac surgery is complex, with each ase providing a wide variety of potential obstacles. Though the stakes are often high, there is nothing more satisfying than achieving a positive outcome.”
