My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you will be treated in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and you will benefit from the full extent of my medical education, professional interest in emerging treatment options and relationships with local specialists. Some of my areas of focus include prevention of atherosclerosis to decrease the risk of heart attacks and strokes, coaching patients on ways to adopt a healthier lifestyle despite barriers and exploring nonpharmacological treatments for issues before prescribing medication.
As one of the few internal medicine doctors in the greater Cleveland/Akron/Canton area offering this personalized healthcare approach, I provide care that can help support your well-being, whether you are managing a chronic condition, have wellness goals to reach or simply want to maintain your health in the years ahead. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments.
My practice is located in Fairlawn, Ohio, close to I-77 exits and right behind the Summit Mall. This location conveniently serves patients from Medina, Wadsworth, Akron, Bath, Canton, Copley, Cuyahoga Falls and the southern Cleveland suburbs. I am affiliated with Summa Health System and Cleveland Clinic Akron General.

Dr. Phillips: You have been my primary care doctor since 1992. You have always provided a high level of professional competence and warm caring concern.

I've gone through some tough times recently, losing both of my parents. Dr. Phillips gave me a book to read about losing loved ones before this happened. It helped somewhat. But more than the book, I believe Dr. Phillips helped the most, because of the talks we had and she is just a very caring person. I feel fortunate to have her as my health care provider.
Well...I don't need to tell you how much your medical expertise and friendship are appreciated. I especially appreciate that you think outside the box when necessary.

I joined Dr. Phillips practice in October 2017 and she has left no stone unturned in getting to the… See more
