G. Phillips, DDS,

I enjoy working with you, you're a great dentist. ——————————————————————————– I have worked with Tom Phillips over the years on many multidisciplinary cases. His level of knowledge and clinical expertise make him one of the best dentists I know. His understanding of occlusion and aesthetics gives all his patients the best that dentistry has to offer. I'm proud to work with him to provide outstanding care for our patients.

Congratulations on your excellent paper presented in the July issue of "Dentistry Today". Your knowledge, attention to detail, and concern for your patients are evident.

Dr. Tom crafted my veneers and crowns. Throughout my life I have had the benefit of great medical care. Without question, Dr. Tom Phillips is among the most talented surgeons I have met. His early training as an engineer is easily seen. This man is detailed, almost obsessive in making certain that every tooth, every angle, every surface is perfect. Cosmetic work can be expensive. Yet, I when I consider all of his education, post graduate training, and relentless striving for getting it right, I believe I received a good value. Dr. Tom gave me the smile I wanted. Dr. Phillips has a hobby of racing Porches. He loves going fast. Yet, when he is performing surgery, he is as patient as a Zen master. Under his hand, you will never feel rushed. He gives you the feeling that you are the most important person in his world. And I promise you that at the moment he is working on you— you are. It has been said that doctors do not make the best patients. In my case, I believe this was true. So, while I was not the perfect patient, I will say without hesitation, he was the perfect doctor.

As a specialist in periodontics for the last 32 years, I cherish relationships with practitioners that show excellence in their clinical practice. Your exceptional meticulous attention to detail is clearly evident to your patients. There is no mystery to me why your patients referred to my office are highly educated and motivated in their dental needs. The field of dentistry is more respected and admired by your presence in Fredericksburg, Va. I would not hesitate to recommend you to be a fellow of the American College of dentists.
