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!

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.
