I came to see Dr Phillips for Botox and general skin rejuvenation advice. He recommended a course of IPL and laser to treat sun damage, hyperpigmentation and skin texture concerns. I am very pleased with the results, and look forward to coming back for further treatments.

I think a doctor should be a lot more confident when looking at private areas of the body. He looked at the part and quickly dismissed it. I appreciate it might not be pleasant but at the end of the day he is a doctor.
