Dr. Phillips is the best. Recently I had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Andrew Phillips and I am thrilled with the result. I no longer wear glasses except for reading and colors are so vibrant. My vision is very clear now. The surgery took place at Specialty Surgical Center where the staff was very organized and helpful. The staff at Dr. Phillips office were also very helpful and kind and made sure I was well prepared for the surgery. I am so glad I had this surgery and I highly recommend Dr Phillips and his staff. Thank you Dr. Phillips! read more

Dr. Andrew Phillips is a brilliant and compassionate doctor. My father saw him when he was at USC. Dr. Phillips decided to open his practice, so my father wanted to follow him. Dr. Phillips took excellent care of my father's medical needs and cataract surgery for both eyes. Now, 20+ years later, both my husband and I still see Dr. Phillips for our check ups and whenever we need attention for our eyes. Unfortunately, I needed cataract surgery for both eyes in my mid 50's. I knew right away that I wanted Dr. Phillips to do the procedure. I've always felt comfort, honesty, and professionalism with Dr. Phillips expertise in the field. I had cataract surgery for 1 eye, and it was amazing, I was able to see when I left the surgical center. I couldn't wait to get the second eye done. Within several weeks, I had the second surgery. I can honestly say that my vision was better than excellent, I was able to see things like a speck of dirt on a very high ceiling. Dr. Phillips was so patient in explaining the details from beginning to end. Also, Noel was so helpful with setting up the appointments, taking measurements, going over the procedure, and the aftercare. I just referred my Uncle to Dr. Phillips, and he's a happy patient. Thank you to Dr. Phillips and the entire staff at Phillips Eye Center! read more

I had cataract surgery done by Dr Phillips at Specialty surgical center in Arc. and all went very well. Dr Phillips has a very relaxed demeanor which puts you at ease, also the surgical center personal were very kind and attentive. I had intra-ocular lens implanted in both eyes so I could see far-intermediate and up close without glasses. I could not be happier, lenses worked for me, don't know if same result for everyone! Thank you Dr Phillips. read more

I love this doctor, but the staff leave a little to be desired and, have left me with a feeling of frustration more than once.   On my first visit I received an eyeglass prescription that I never felt was quite right when filled. I just couldn't see as well as I felt I should, as well as I could with my old glasses. Later after seeing another optometrist I found out that the prescription was stronger than I needed. Once the prescription was corrected by the second optometrist, I could actually see better.  More recently, I called for an appointment with my Ophthalmologist because of concerns of a detached retina (having flashes and floaters in my eye). Thinking I'd made an appointment with Dr. Phillips, a girl comes in to the exam room, puts drops in my eyes and said to wait in the reception area for about 20 minutes while the drops worked. She didn't introduce herself, so I'd  just assumed it was one of his medical assistants, as I'd seen prior to seeing him in the past.  After returning to the exam room and about 10 minutes into her running some tests, I'd asked her if I was going to see the doctor too, and she replied" I AM the Doctor."  I replied back "Oh I didn't know he got another Ophthalmologist in here.  I thought I was seeing Dr. Phillips, adding that the girl that scheduled me didn't say anything.  It was then she told me she isn't the ophthalmologist, she's an optometrist but that they do the same examination, adding that the doctor was in surgery today. I replied "Oh I didn't know any of that," again adding the girl that scheduled me didn't mention anything. I guess my point is I would have definitely appreciated it if the person scheduling me (Sherry?) would have let me know that I wasn't seeing Dr. Phillips or another ophthalmologist, and given me the option to see an optometrist instead.  Personally, given my symptoms I really feel like an Ophthalmology specialist appointment was warranted, or at minimum I should have been given a informed choice. read more

I had my cataract surgery done by Dr. Phillips 2 months ago. From my first appointment on the service and care provided by Dr. Phillips and his staff was wonderful. He helped my choose an intra-ocular multifocal lens that is perfect for me. I have 20/20 vision for distance and intermediate sight, plus I can use my phone and the computer without glasses. I use "cheater" glasses when I read the newspaper or a book. I never thought I would have this clear vision after cataract surgery. The colors and clarity of the world have reawakened for me. Do not hesitate to visit Dr. Phillips if you need cataract surgery. And explore the wonder of the multifocal lens. It makes a world of difference. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Phillips for many years and have never had a complaint about him or his staff. He has treated me for diabetic eye disease and the beginning of macular degeneration and has always taken care to explain all of his findings. Seven years ago he performed bilateral cataract surgery on me and I couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome. The surgical center in Arcadia where I had the procedures done is exceptionally clean and very well run and the staff was pleasant and accommodating. I would definitely recommend Dr. Phillips as a highly skilled ophthalmologist. Phyllis B. age 77 read more

Dr Phillips did my cataract surgery a year and a half ago. He was not in my network, but went to him because his reputation was so good among other general doctors that I asked who they would go to. 110% glad I did. I went with the Pan Optic lens - at an age when there is nothing on your body that improves with time, my eyesight is much better. I no longer use prescription glasses for distance, or reading glasses. I can use regular (non RX) sunglasses. I am super satisfied. read more

I've been going to Dr. Phillips for many years. He is an excellent ophthalmologist. He did cataract surgery on both eyes 5 years ago. Everything went perfectly and was a piece of cake! His staff is friendly and very efficient. read more

Addendum: to the fool who commented on my review. You can give bad reviews regarding the business aspect. I am sure he's a good doctor. I found a well renowned Ophthalmologic Surgeon who's consultations were free. Dr. Alan Berg is the best in his field and has a superb practice. He was gentle, sweet and professional. I got what I wanted from the best. ****** original review, I still stand by it ********** I wanted to talk to Dr. Phillips about getting lazik. They want $375 to just for a consult!!!!!! I can get my teeth cleaned by my dentist for less than half that!!! My car payment isn't even that much. I have been in the medical field for 25 years and have never heard of anything more ridiculous in my life!!!!!!!! read more

As a retired RN, I can't say enough for Dr. A. Phillips and his team. Recently I had Cataract surgery performed by Dr. Phillips.

AVOID THIS DOCTOR'S OFFICE AT ALL COSTS! My mother went to this clinic for cataract surgery and had a very unpleasant experience. The office tries to process as many patients as possible during a day and functions like a fast food drive thru with no care for customer service or the patient experience. During the second appointment we had some questions for the doctor on which lens to use after the cataract removal, and before we met the doctor the nurse (Noelle) was already annoyed that we had made a second appointment and said "do you have your questions written down?" After meeting with the doctor the nurse asked us to sign a surgery risk consent form and choose our lens on the spot. When we said we needed more time to decide she said "you still haven't decided on the lens yet?!" She asked us to first sign the form and initial next to a choice of monofocal and astigmatism correction and finalize the choice later that day. Later that day we returned to the doctors office to finalize our lens choice and get a copy of the consent form. We were refused a copy of the form by the nurse! Even though the form clearly states that the patient has been offered a copy of the form, we were never offered a copy, rather when we asked for one we were refused. We also wanted the consent form to be corrected to reflect our choice of lens which is a monofocal but WITHOUT the astigmatism correction. The nurse refused to make this correction on this important legal document. It took a long back and forth before finally the nurse agreed to correct the statement and make a copy of the form. We left the office and spent a few minutes in the elevator lobby when the nurse rushed out saying thankfully we hadn't left yet and that she needed to "redo" a certain measurement. She didn't explain what she needed to do and we went back into the office for a procedure which hadn't been done before, so it was something she had clearly forgotten to do. This is days before the surgery! A month before the surgery, after we did a pre-op the nurse (Christina) gave us a couple times slots for the surgery and we selected 10:30am, but was told that we would get a call before the surgery date to confirm an exact time. A few days before the surgery we still did not have a confirmed time so we called the office. The nurse (Noelle) said there is no guarantee on the timing, and that no one would have asked for our preference of 10:30am, suggesting that we had completely made up this conversation we had with Christina. A day before the surgery we called the doctor to make him aware of the nurse's neglect for one of the measurements and had a redo a procedure. We wanted to make sure nothing else was missed before doing the surgery. The doctor not only was not concerned about the negligence of his staff that an important measurement was somehow missed, but instead suggested that we just cancel the surgery. We ended up never getting the surgery and had already bought all the medication associated with it and already blocked out time in our schedule for the operation. The doctor very dismissively said we should just cancel. He seems to think there will always be an endless supply of patients for him and gave the impression that losing one is no big deal. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH HOW HORRIBLE OUR EXPERIENCE WAS. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE IN THE WORLD FOR AN EYE OPERATION YOU SHOULD GO WITH THAT ONE INSTEAD OF THIS CLINIC. read more

I recently moved here from Ventura, where I was seeing an ophthalmologist for several years. I felt like he was having me come in too frequently for extensive costly testing. I just saw Dr. Phillips for my initial visit and he is recommending annual visits with much less required testing. He was professional and answered all my questions. I highly recommend him read more

Visited today for a 6 month check up, and it reminded me of how thankful I am for Dr Phillips. He found a retina that was detaching 7 years ago, got me in with a specialist the next morning, and has followed up with me through the years. I will be 78 years old next month, and I still read everyday with no glasses. He is my rockstar. read more

I am leaving this post for my Mother in Law. Dr Phillips is excellent! His service and care and follow through are great. She had vision lenses and cateract surgery with wonderful results. read more

My appointment this morning rated a 10 star review. Sadly, only 5 are allowed. Veronica, Raquel, and Noel are examples of how a great office operates. Good vibes the moment I entered. Then the element of professionalism kicks up considerably. A wonderful physician, Andrew F. Phillips, M.D., entered the exam room. The good doctor worked his magic, gave me results that a layperson could comprehend, and recommended a follow up in 2 years. No qualms about referring this practice to all followers on Yelp and anyone within shouting distance. read more

Dr. Phillips is the best! Cataract surgery went well, I know many people who go to Dr. Phillips and recommend him. read more

I recently became Dr. Phillips's patient at the recommendation of my primary doctor. I was pleased with his attentiveness and response to my questions and concern about my vision problem. I, like his forthrightness about my condition. I appreciated his computer visual explanation about my condition and prognosis. His office staff was very friendly and accommodating. When I originally called for an appointment, they didn't have appointments available for almost 2 months. An appointment was made, and they offered to put me on their cancellation list. In less than a week I was notified of an available appointment to see Dr. Phillips the following week. That is excellent customer service! Also, there is an optometrist in his office with an excellent display of more recent styles in frames, that I will be using in the future. I, highly recommend Dr. Phillips. read more

My mother, aunt, and wife have seen Dr Phillips. All have been satisfied and see better.

Great doctor especially with cataracts. Office staff are pleasant and patient.

After having to get glasses at the young age of 11 and then moving to wearing contacts in my teens, with needing a stronger prescription every 6 months, my eye sight was becoming quite the inconvenience. In my early 20's I was introduced to Dr. Phillips and he changed my life. I had a consultation with him to discuss having lasik surgery. He was warm, friendly, caring and so easy to work with. I never felt rushed or as if I was asking silly questions. He was very detailed oriented and gave me the time I needed at every appointment. The day of my surgery I was incredibly nervous, but Dr. Phillips and his team were supportive through the whole (quick, efficient, and painless) process. My surgery was at noon and he told me to go home and take a nap afterwards. I did this and when I woke up at dinner time I had 20/10 vision-something I had never had in my life! 9 years later my eyesight is just as strong and I have only Dr. Phillips to thank. I am constantly telling people how lasik, and Dr. Phillips, changed my life and am always referring him to people. He will take care of you from day 1 and it doesn't stop after your procedure. It has been 9 years since my procedure, but he never forgets me when I go in for a check-up and we always have a pleasant visit. Because he had done my mom's lasik procedure before mine he offered my brother and me a discount on our procedures. He's honest and fair in his pricing. My mom, brother, and my father-in-law are all now happy patients of his as well! If you are considering any eye treatments, please don't hesitate-book your appointment now with Dr. Phillips. He is truly the best and you will be in great hands! read more

I am very picky about my healthcare providers and wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Phillips. It's too bad I can only give a 5 star review for this doctor and his staff. He was very thorough and gave an exellent explanation as to why I had cataracts at what I thought was a ridiculously young age. When it came time for the surgery, he was very patient and I had no complications with either eye. The office staff is very kind and extremely efficient. Please take my advise and trust your eyes to the doctor! read more

I went to Dr. Phillip's after my Internist highly recommended him to address my cataracts. He is a very professional and thorough Doctor who explains every question without hesitation. I find that his bedside manner to be one of the best I think I have ever come across. And he took care of my cataracts without a hitch. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Phillip's and his staff! read more

I've known Dr. Phillips for 21 years. He did my lasik surgery in 1998 and I had a great outcome. I didn't wear glasses at all again for about 15 years. When my vision started getting bad very quickly my optometrist suggested I see an ophthalmologist. Of course I went back to Dr. Phillips. I needed cataract surgery in both eyes. He did the surgery and I'm back to perfect vision again. He's a wonderful doctor and his staff is very knowledgeable. The office is run very well with only a few minutes wait time for an appointment. I've brought my son to Dr. Phillips and he cured him of a bad eye condition. I recommend Dr. Phillips without reservation. read more

Very thorough exam and the doctor was very friendly and personable. It was great to find somewhere close to home that I feel comfortable going to in the future. Their selection of glasses was great. Parking was also easy. Located on Hungtingon, going westbound towards the santa Anita mall. read more

Referred by my primary to treat shingles related eye complication. Dr Phillips was thorough and professional. He took the time to explain comprehensively and schedule me quickly per urgent need. He has a great staff all friendly and Meade me feel at ease. I was particularly impressed with Veronica who was totally on top of my billing and insurance, very clear and professional in explaining my paperwork, highly confident in her accuracy. Facility is at top floor of medical building , clean and well kept. They have an I house eye shop which is very convenient. read more

When it comes to bad customer service, people should know about it. The front desk people were the most unpleasant I have ever encountered at any doctor's office. They don't explain things clearly and when you ask them questions, they look annoyed and bothered. I'm in the business field and I know when front desk staff needs better customer service training. read more

I have seen Dr. Phillips twice and both times he and his staff have been extremely friendly and professional. I was nervous going into any kind of medical facility, but the safety measures taken by the doctor and staff were above reproach. Dr. Phillips takes what I would call a conservative approach, not trying to push any sort of treatment when unnecessary. I trust him completely and recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent Ophthalmologist. read more

Dr Phillips and his staff are committed to delivering the best possible eye care to patients. Veronica was able to schedule my visit immediately and Dr Phillips is in a class by himself as a physician and ophthalmologist. He really cares about his patients and the staff reflects this compassionate professional approach. Kudos to Dr Phillips and his staff! read more

I had my Cataract surgery a few months ago. The surgery itself was a miracle! Now I see the landscape of Mount Wilson so clear like never before! Dr Phillips also rendered kind and thorough post-surgery care to me. When I told him that my dry eye syndrome seemed worse. He gave me simple easy-to-do instructions what to do; and told me that it would be over in 2 or 3 weeks. Yes, it was soon over. I don't think you can find a comparable easily! DH read more

Dr. Phillips was recently chosen by Pasadena Magazine as Top Doctor! He totally deserves it. Dr. Phillips is caring and patient. He answers oh my many, many questions. He understands my concerns and encourages me to take time. Never pushing me to a decision, allowing me time to think and eventually I did get to the point when I felt ready to have my cataract surgery. I am in my 40s. Just a few years ago I got tired of wearing contact lens and had a LASIK refractive surgery done by another doctor. I believe the LASIK surgery caused the cataract in one of my eyes. Dr. Phillips is very knowledgeable and skillful. He is a fine surgeon. I am so thankful to have access to such a great physician. Thank you for restoring my vision, Dr. Phillips!! read more

Andrew F. Phillips, MD - Dr. Phillips is a Top Doctor. ~ Pasadena Magazine - Ophthalmologists Near Me - Arcadia, California

The doctor and the staffs just don"t really care. They don't want to spend too much time with you to explain everything. They just want to make sure you will pay. Not a pleasant experience. Do your own research. For the best cataract surgery or vision correction experience go to the West side of LA. You will have to pay more, but you will get a better experience and result. read more
