Dr. Philander is excellent. She always addresses my concerns, listens to my input, and together we develop a plan in moving forward. She is intelligent and empathetic - all the things you want in your primary care doctor. I have been a patient of hers for several years and will continue to use her as my primary.

This was my first time meeting Dr. Philander and she seemed to rush my appointment and did not provide a warm welcome. It seemed like she only focused on one of my concerns, and I left thinking maybe I should not have gone to a different PCP from who I normally see.

Dr. Philander is very nice, listens well, and seems to care about what is going on in my life. I also appreciate having a younger physician as well since my previous physician was quite old. It seems like she is thinking ahead and going above and beyond to make sure we are healthy.

I met Dr. Philander fur the first time and she made me feel very comfortable. My long-term physician left NW last fall and I was nervous to start over with someone new. Dr. Philander was a perfect choice for me!

She’s wonderful and sees me as a person. Today she told me “weight is cosmetic”. I have never had a doctor understand that, and i appreciated hearing that for the first time in my 24 years of life. I am a healthy person, i just have some weight on me. She understands that if bloodwork comes back saying i’m okay, then yes weight is just cosmetic. I feel comfortable here and i appreciate that more than i can describe in words.

She is thorough, and a great combo of personable and professional. She will acknowledge if she is not familiar with a thing. She obviously does research when she feels like she needs a better handle on an issue. Both my husband and myself feel like she is a great match for us.
