“I'm very happy with the care I've received from Dr. Phillips and my teeth are AMAZING!”
My mom referred me to Dr. Phillips through our church. I had rotting teeth. My crowns were falling off. I made an appointment to see Dr. Phillips for upper and lower dentures. I had full extractions and have dentures. I received excellent care from Dr. Phillips and her staff. I live in the bay area and drive to the Central Coast just to see Dr. Phillips. I have been to many dentists but choose to drive 3-4 hours to see Dr. Phillips and her staff. I can EAT again!

“GREAT!”
I was informed from several dentists that I could no longer wear implants. Three of the dentists referred me to Dr. Phillips for implants. I made an appointment and was able to see the Dr and her staff immediately. I've been seeing Dr. Phillip and her staff for 4 years and have been been very pleased with the treatment I've received. Dr Phillips and her staff are very personable and make me feel like family. Professional but friendly office. I've recommended Dr. Phillips to several of my friends

“Grateful for my nice smile!”
My teeth were feeling loose and saw Dr. Phillips on the wellness channel. I decided to move forward and place a call to set an appointment. Dr. Phillips is very personable on TV and is pretty much the same in person. feel very comfortable with Dr. Phillips and her staff. They make me feel very welcome each time I come in for treatement. I have been seeing Dr. Phillips for years am very happy with my new teeth. I love the way they fit!

“I'm very happy and love that Dr. Phillips and her staff are attentive to my needs!”
My teeth were deteriorating and I didn't know which dentist I should see. My friend of 48 years referred me to Dr. Phillips. I will be forever grateful to my friend Jackie Davis for referring me. I called to set the appointment to see Dr. Phillips and her staff. I've seen several dentists prior to seeing Dr. Phillips. I felt very comfortable and loved that Dr. Phillips is able to do everything in house. I have a vertigo and it's very hard for me to always keep my appointment. Her staff is very good at helping me schedule and reschedule my appointments due to my ongoing medical condition. I've referred Dr. Phillips to my friends and family and know that she will take care of them as well or better than she has taken care of me.

“Total Confidence in the Swiss Team”
It can be quite scary having one's front teeth removed and replaced. After meeting Dr. Phillips and the team, I felt secure and confident I would receive the best care and end up with a beautiful smile and strong healthy teeth. Now that my procedure is almost complete, I can truly say, I could not have picked a better team. They treated me with such care and compassion and the skill of Dr. Philips is unbeatable. When it comes to something as important as your teeth, go to the best!

“GREAT!”
I was informed by several dentists that I was no longer able to have dentures. Three dentists recommended that I see Dr Phillips for implants. I had no choice but to call and set an appointment. I have been very pleased with my overall treatment. I continue to see Dr. Phillips and her staff. I'm still in the middle of my treatment plan and have had a great experience!

“My experience has been absolutely Wonderful. I love Dr. Phillips and her staff!”
I met Dr. Phillips through a friend of mine that works for her husband Les. I live out of the area. It takes me over 2 hours to drive to Swiss Dental. I don't mind the drive because I have full faith and trust in Dr. Phillips. Long process but well worth it. I'm not done with my treatment but am very excited to see my final teeth!
