Elaine Roberts As all my visits, I felt completely free to discuss my current health status with Dr. Philpot and ask those questions I was concerned about re: reducing mg of Prilosec, changing dosage of Zocor and requesting checking cholesterol level. I feel Dr. philpot is concerned about my well being. He has always been there for me when my health has failed. more

I have known Dr. Craig Philpot for more than 20 years, and I know him to be a gentleman, a family man, a man of integrity, a Christian and an outstanding physician. He is an outstanding physician in three ways: First, he is very knowledgeable and up-to-date in his field of medicine; secondly, I know him to be compassionate about his patients and to go ???the second mile??? in helping them reach their potential to get well; thirdly, he is trustworthy ??? I would trust him with my life. more

A colonoscopy is a much dreaded procedure due primarily to the day of prep before. This coupled with the invasiveness of the procedure and the requirement of being undressed all add to the anxiety. Let me put all those concerns to rest. I have been treated by Dr. Philpot and staff with impeccable treatment. All of my anxiety was quickly diminished. The day of prep prior to the procedure was as easy as drinking a couple liters of a liquid tasting much like sprite. There was no cramping, bloating or anything unpleasant at all. On the day of the procedure, I was greeted by a very accommodating staff upon entry to the waiting room. Next, my nurse gave me total privacy while changing into a gown with the utmost of modesty preserved. She then made me comfortable with blankets and pillows and numbed the area on my arm prior to inserting the I.V. Totally pain free. Dr. Philpot then greeted me and discussed my problems and symptoms that brought ne to have the procedure and I went into a restful sleep. I knew absolutely nothing about the colonoscopy as it was being done, and woke afterwards with absolutely no pain or symptoms of any kind. After being discharged from the clinic only a few hours later, ate a normal diet on my way home. The staff followed up the next day to insure I was comfortable and to answer any questions. Thank you Dr. Philpot and Staff for making what I had presumed to be a less than desirable treatment, into a comfortable experience. See you aga more
