Our Treatment Philosophy
Dr. Joseph Phillips’ approach to orthodontic care is rooted in developing a deep understanding of each patient’s unique needs. With extensive experience as an orthodontic specialist and a restorative dentist, Dr. Phillips brings a holistic and conservative mindset to every treatment plan. He believes that orthodontic care should not only create beautiful smiles but also contribute to the overall health and well-being of the patient.
Dr. Phillips loves to say, “When the problem is well understood, the solution becomes obvious.” Understanding a patient’s needs is important, and listening to their needs and desires is essential. The doctor prides himself in delivering a treatment plan that blends modern science and sound treatment goals with the concerns and desires of the patient and, if applicable, the patient’s parent. You have come to the right place if you have struggled to find a doctor who can deliver multiple healthy options (i.e., not extracting teeth or alternative appliances). You may be surprised to hear your ideal treatment is easier than you think.

Jo MollenhauerApril 3, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family was given a few referral options and after a lot of research it was very clear that Phillips was the way to go. We were a bit anxious before our first consultation, not knowing what to expect exactly, and our son (8) was also nervous. The staff addressed our son directly which made him feel included and more comfortable. Every single step of imaging was explained and he actually enjoyed the process. Putting a plan together felt informational and we learned a lot. Dr. Phillips even gave my son the floor to ask all his own questions that were important to him. Glenda helped us figure out the finances and answered a ton of questions as well, and my family is actually excited for this process now! Armando FloresMarch 29, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Phillips Family Orthodontics has been amazing for my both of my daughters’ orthodontic care! From the moment we walked in, the entire team made us feel welcome and comfortable. The staff is friendly, professional, and always takes the time to explain each step of the process. Dr. Phillips is fantastic—knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about his patients’ smiles. My daughters have had a great experience, and we’re so happy with the care they receive. I highly recommend Phillips Family Orthodontics to anyone looking for top-notch orthodontic treatment! Julie OntonMarch 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
