“Fast and friendly service, great results”
“I have always had a great relationship with the doctor and staff. Fast and friendly service, grade treatment results and can get in any time I need to. They take care of all my foot and ankle problems I have.” – James, White Bear Lake MN
“Dr. Christopher Phillips has always been very honest”
“Dr. Christopher Phillips has always been very honest with puts going on and very compassionate and welcoming at all times. When an accident happened with my foot to months after surgery when a child stepped on my foot my regular doctor did an x-ray and I brought it to Dr. Phillips’s office and left him a voice mail on his cell phone. As soon as he was out of surgery and was leaving he made it a priority to go to his office and checked the x-ray and call me immediately to let me know the surgical site had shifted and fractured and to put my surgical boot back on to stabilize my foot. He has always been some doctor.” – Robin, Forest Lake MN
