Dr. Phillips has a unique practice focus that is a combination of plastic and reconstructive surgery, peripheral nerve surgery and hand surgery. His areas of interest include upper and lower extremity compression neuropathies, fractures of the hand and wrist, soft tissue reconstruction, arthritis of the hand, brachial plexus injuries and nerve transfers. He found his passion for plastic surgery during his Emergency Medicine residency at Brown. From the onset of his training he was drawn to the hand; its form and function are fascinating. He feels privileged to have trained under one of the country’s premier nerve surgeons, Dr. Susan McKinnon.
