A slight issue with the nurses not expecting both of the procedures but was quickly sorted and both went ahead
I was really worried about having a colonoscopy and its potential findings but Dr Phillips and his team made me feel looked after. Everyone worked well together and I got the sense they performed these procedures regularly which put me at ease.
I have had some issues on going for a few months. Dr Phillips has helped me look into these He is kind caring and compassionate and an expert in his field. I feel fortunate to have found him and him be involved in my care.
Dr Phillips was very professional, explained everything pre-procedure. I was felt very cared for by the whole team. The procedure I felt comfortable and was expecting more pain/discomfort, so was very happy with the outcome. I had a follow up appointment with Dr Phillips and he clearly explained my results. Thank you.
From my initial appointment Dr Phillips was extremely understanding of my anxiety following feeling ill. His care, knowledge and presence was extremely reassuring and it was clear to see he is an expert in his field. The appointments and treatment referrals were speedy and a very smooth experience - Thank you
Having severe diverticular disease I was nervous of having a colonoscopy having previously had a bad experience but Dr Philips assured me he could perform one safely which he skilfully did with much professionalism.
Dr Frank Phillips was amazing, he dealt with me unbelievably good compare to previous one from different doctor. Finally im not scared from endoscopy anymore thanks to Dr Phillips
DR Phillips is very knowledgeable, patient and delivers first class treatment and care options. Dr Phillips has a superb bedside manner that is very calming to his patients. I cannot recommend Dr Phillips highly enough and my consultantions and procedures were made easy and more comfortable because of the great care received. Thank you from a very grateful patient.
I went to see Dr Philips for ongoing GI issues, and I had a really positive experience from start to finish. He took the time to go through all my symptoms in detail and explained everything clearly in a way that was easy to understand, which really helped ease my anxiety. What I appreciated most was how thorough and attentive he was — he didn’t dismiss anything and made sure to investigate properly to get to the root of the problem. Throughout the process, I felt supported, reassured, and in very safe hands. The whole experience, from consultation to follow-up, was handled with professionalism and genuine care. I’m very grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with similar issues.
I was impressed with Dr. Phillips calm, professional manner throughout my procedure. I have had a previous colonoscopy which was extremely painful and was not completed - this was an infinitely better experience. My needs during the procedure were heard and acted upon, and resulted in a completed procedure, giving me peace of mind in the results. I couldn't recommend Dr. Phillips enough.
Dr Phillips is excllent colleague and skilled GI physcian. I refer my patient for any gastric issue to him. Approachable and liked by patient and colleague.
