Dr. Philipson is brilliant, and as a guy who has lived on both sides of this country and throughout the midwest, and southwest, it has been my experience that he's by far the premier cardiologist in the U.S. He was presented a case with many different nuances and high-risk conditions, and has been the best cardiologist I've ever had. This is saying a lot as in the passed 10 years I've lived literally all over the country. He's the best, hands down. He speaks to me like I'm a person, not a number. He respects the fact that I'm very aware, and hands-on in my medical care. He explains every decision he makes, and listens to feedback. You won't find a better doctor out there.

Dr dr. Phillips son made me feel very secure in his leadership and his ability to consider a problem for multiple angles and perspectives is truly a gift I could tell that he’s done excellent research and he stays on the cutting edge of his field I really appreciate it how he made sure I was hurt. I never felt rushed or left with unanswered questions. He’s such a patient teacher as well and I feel supported and truly understood and I feel like my plan of care because of him is secure, he is a wonderful physician that makes me feel validated in a meaningful way and he’s very knowledgeable in his feel of expertise of medic of medicine. Thank you.
