About Patricia J. Phillips, DO

My passion as a physician is to partner with patients to provide personalized healthcare and education. My goal is to help each patient achieve optimal health and prevent illness. In addition to the comprehensive MDVIP Annual Wellness Program, I offer full primary care medical services. When a patient faces a health challenge or serious illness, I will help manage their care and be a strong patient advocate. I also believe it is important to support the patient and their families through treatments and daily challenges. I am available for urgent medical guidance after hours and when you travel.
 
My osteopathic medical training and 30 years of practice has focused on the care of the whole person, not just the illness. I believe this is necessary to help a person achieve optimal health and maintain quality of life.

I have a strong interest in nutrition in both prevention and treatment of disease. I have completed Tulane University's Culinary Medicine course for physicians and regularly attend continuing education courses through the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, Plantrician Project and Physicians for Social Responsibility. After years of reading research, I have adopted a plant-based diet and have assisted interested patients in doing so as well.

My provider, Dr. P. Phillips, came to visit me in the hospital the morning after I was admitted, a welcome and appreciated support. She kept in touch with me every day of my weeklong hospitalization.

It is not often that you get to see/hear what your doctor does for other patients. But my doctor was also the doctor of my very best friend, who fought a decades long cancer battle. Because my friend and I were so close, I often went to appointments with her on this agonizingly long medical journey. She gave the doctors permission to chat with me and teach me how I could support a friend. Dr…

I was recommended to Dr Phillip's practice by a friend, and have been quite impressed with her professionalism, knowledge, and assistance on my healthcare journey. PLUS - LOVE how easy it is to be in touch with the practice, the fact they KNOW ME, and give almost immediate call backs on informational requests. SO thrilled to now be part of this office, as well as having access to all the benefits of the MDVIP organization.

Dr. Patricia J. Phillips, DO is an amazing person and an extremely knowledgeable doctor. I am so glad that I decided to stick with MDVIP and join her practice. The best and most important thing that Dr. Phillips AND her team, Joyce and Melissa do is LISTEN! It is so frustrating to have a doctor not listen to you and your needs and not understand or believe what is going on with your health. These three amazing women do more than listen...they actually understand too and are willing to help and come up with a plan personalized to whoever you are based on your needs. Thanks to Patricia Phillips and her team! What an awesome experience to have for health care!

She is an exemplary physician who listens very well and is willing to learn about and understand alternative treatments and approaches while honoring what she offers from her comprehensive medical training and experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
