Dr Steve Philips

Communication and trust are key components of a good doctor-patient relationship. You will find that Dr. Philips will be your skilled dentist and soon thereafter a friend you can’t wait to see again! Dr. Philips spends time explaining to patients what their needs are and options for treatment then helps craft an individualized plan to meet their needs. He understands that he is treating a person, not a dental issue, and tries to create as pleasant a dental experience as possible for his patients. Dr. Philips grew up in New York and attended The New York University College of Dentistry. Following his graduation, he was able to join the United States Navy Dental Corps. With his passion for continuing education, Dr. Philips achieved a great accolade of the Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry – only about 6 percent of general dentists in the U.S. are AGD Fellows! When you see a dentist with FAGD behind their name, you can rest assured that they care about knowing the latest techniques and best practices in dentistry. Dr. Philips has served as the Chairman of the District of Columbia Peer Review Committee.
