Customer Reviews
Dr. Dan is truly amazing. I broke my tooth on a Friday but he was out of town for his birthday and would be coming back Saturday, he offered to come in on the weekend to make sure I was ok. He truly cares about his patients and I'm so thankful to him and everyone at his practice.
I’ve been to enough dentists to know when a practice is just going through the motions — and that’s definitely not the case with Dr. Daniel E. Phillips.
What stood out to me wasn’t flashy technology or over-the-top friendliness. It was the steady, confident way everything was handled. The appointment ran on time. The explanations were clear. No dramatics, no upselling, no pressure. Just straightforward dentistry.
Dr. Phillips has that calm, experienced presence that makes you feel like you’re not being rushed through a system. When he explains something, it feels practical and honest — like he’s talking with you, not at you. I asked questions, and they were answered directly without being made to feel silly for asking.
The office itself is professional and well-kept. It doesn’t feel chaotic or overbooked. The staff seem coordinated and respectful of your time. That alone says a lot.
What I appreciated most is that the focus felt long-term. Not “let’s fix this today and move on,” but “let’s make sure this stays healthy.” That mindset matters.
If you’re looking for a dentist who values consistency, clarity, and doing solid work without theatrics, this is a good place to be. I left feeling informed and taken care of — and that’s really what I want from a dental visit.
Dr. Phillips is not only an excellent dentist but he’s also so caring and available for his patients! You can always reach out to him and he will do his maximum to help you! Our whole family loves him and my daughter even comes back from Boston where she lives to see him!
Best dental service I've had as an adult! Dr. Phillips is a very straightforward and kind practitioner, and it's clear that he does what he can to make his patients comfortable. Glad to have found someone so knowledgeable and skilled to get my care from :)
I was having terrible pain in a tooth and at the time Dr. Dan and his entire staff were off.
But he got me in the very next morning for a root canal that was absolutely pain free .
Dr. Dan and his entire staff are sooo very friendly and nice to deal with !!!
