Marc Phillpotts, MD
My first visit with Dr. Phillpotts revealed a practitioner who, despite his apparent youthfulness, demonstrated remarkable thoroughness and clinical insight. During the examination, he maintained a caring demeanor and asked targeted questions that reflected a deep commitment to patient well-being.
His judgment throughout the evaluation and subsequent diagnosis was excellent, characterized by a clear and logical approach. It is rare to encounter such a balanced combination of technical expertise and a compassionate bedside manner. This doctor is highly recommended for anyone seeking a dedicated and thoughtful medical professional.

I have been under Dr. Peng's care for ten years and his treatment of my rheumatoid arthritis has been amazing.
