Marshfield Clinic general surgeon expands practice to Rhinelander
The Rhinelander Dental Center is located across the street from Saint Mary's Hospital.
Dr. Phillips now provides general surgical services for patients at the Marshfield Clinic Minocqua Center and will extend his practice to include Rhinelander. His first day seeing patients in Rhinelander will be Dec. 17.
"We will be utilizing space at our Rhinelander Dental Center," explained Julie Clark, manager, Marshfield Clinic Surgical Specialties. "Dr. Phillips has expertise in all aspects of general surgical procedures including laparoscopy and endoscopy."
"I enjoy providing patients with leading edge, quality care in a small town," he said. "The variety of what I do is exciting to me."
Dr. Phillips is a Ham Radio operator and has spoken to people in more than 200 countries. He says his hobby is especially fun during the cold, winter days. He is also active with a group that flies radio controlled airplanes.
Originally from Pittsburgh, Dr. Phillips, his wife and their three children moved to northern Wisconsin in 2005. They chose the area because they wanted to live in a place where they would like to vacation.
According to Dr. Phillips: "The Northwoods fits that description. I enjoy hunting, fishing, canoeing, kayaking and riding motorcycles during the warmer months; and snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter."
Dr. Phillips says, while he enjoys his many hobbies, keeping up with his wife and three kids keeps him busy.
Dr. Phillips attended medical school at Hahnemann University School of Medicine in Philadelphia. He then returned to Pittsburgh to complete his General Surgery Residency at Allegheny General Hospital. Dr. Phillips is certified by the American Board of General Surgery and is licensed to practice both in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
