Dr Phillips understood how anxious I was about having an endoscopy. He explained the procedure thoroughly to me. He was very reassuring. It helped so much and it was no where near as bad as I had expected. He talked to myself and my husband after the procedure and answered all of my questions and gave valuable advice. I would highly recommend him if you need to see a gastroenterologist. Thank you.

I chose to see Dr Phillips after my GP advised that I have a gastroscopy, a procedure which I absolutely dreaded. Dr Phillips' experience in undertaking many hundreds of endoscopies and the positive reviews of his sympathetic manner were reassuring. At the consultation Dr Phillips was patient, sympathetic, informative and reassuring (not always my experience of all consultants)as indeed he was when he saw me on the day of my procedure and with the aid of sedation I found the procedure quite tolerable.

Initial consult with Dr Phillips was great. Very clear on how he viewed FIT results and what likely issue is. During the follow up diagnostic procedure (colonoscopy), his explanation on what was going to happen, how long etc was very clear and reassuring. The procedure itself went smoothly and no issues.

Dr Frank Philips has a high level of professionalism and empathy. His care and compassion above all I felt listened to and never rushed and his care is to be commended.

I cannot recommend Dr Phillips highly enough. Navigating an ongoing gastrointestinal issue is daunting, but Dr Phillips provided a perfect balance of high professionalism and genuine empathy. Taking the time too to relieve my anxieties and explain everything clearly. I left feeling fully supported and confident in my ongoing care plan. Dr Phillips too with his entire team worked together to make a difficult ongoing medical situation feel safe and comfortable. Thank you for providing such exceptional patient care.

Dr Phillips and his team were absolutley brilliant dealing with my coloscopy on the 17/09/26. From start to finish they went above and beyond communicating everything about the procedure and putting my mind at risk. Very professional every step of the way and just very pleasent people to deal with. Couldnt be happier with the whole team and how the day went. Thanks again

My scope was performed as described prior to commencing and the actual procedure was seemless and I was informed of provisional findings on completion
