James L. Phillips, DO 4331 South Fremont Avenue, Springfield, MO 65804

"We have been in awe of Dr Phillips since the first time we’ve seen him. He has been awesome with our baby and very helpful, however we made a simple phone call to his office to ask one tiny simple medical question/advice/concern for my daughter that would have literally taken 10 seconds out of someone day to answer for a nurse or a doctor and the lady who answered the phone refused to allow me to even ask due to him only seeing my son. Very disappointing and saddening to see their level of care for patients."

"Dr.Phillips is very kind and hears you out with any concerns you have about your child and he always willing to share his personal experiences/advice on what helps kids."

"What I have experienced from this individual is that he will not personalize medication for his patients. When I asked him why my son was on certain medications his answer was. "Kids do this" or "Kids do that". It was not your child experience this on this date and then this happened on this date. He just generalized my son with every other child diagnosed with the same thing as him. Plus as a pediatrician he's more than willing to think he is educated enough to treat children for depression and anxiety. Last I knew those were two different fields."

"Last minute appointment, my daughter's PCP was out of office, however, Dr Phillips was amazing with her. She is high functioning autistic and some practitioners don't quite get it. He was very straightforward with her, put her at ease and when it was time for her to focus, he got her attention and had him look at him, which is something so important for her to actually understand and apply what is being asked of her. It was a relief for me as a parent to have someone understand my child. When we left, she couldn't stop talking about how good he was and that even though she liked her PCP, could she please switch " because he gets me." Thank you Dr. Phillips!"

"The best doctor ever! He takes time to explain things and never makes us feel rushed even with a waiting room full of people! He’s very personable and great with my son! When I feel like I’m asking a silly question he’ll relate with me about his kids and make me not feel like I’m asking a strange question! He is seriously the BEST doctor! Being a first time mom he has really helped our family more then words could explain! Amazing doctor hands down!"
