He received his medical degree from Medical College of Wisconsin, with post-graduate training at Washington University in St Louis, and The Ohio State University.
In July 2025, Ohio Health announced that Dr. Phillips was the first physician in Ohio to perform a patient procedure using a new, FDA-cleared medical device called the SPUR® Retrievable Stent System. “This is a real game-changer for patients who previously had limited options,” said Dr. Phillips. “We now have a tool that can restore blood flow in hard-to-treat areas without the long-term risks associated with permanent stents.” This new technology is a major advancement in treating patients who have diabetes or chronic kidney disease, conditions that could lead to dangerous blockages in the small arteries below the knee.
Dr. Phillips speaks nationally and internationally on peripheral arterial disease, has authored numerous papers in peer-reviewed journals pertaining to his specialty, and is co-host of the podcast “Save My Piggies”.
