Filled with the Spirit and joy, Dr. Ron Phillips', reaction to my Annual Physical and "winning" heath results.
It was 2010 when I told my Aunt, an RN for many years in the Greenville Hospital System, that I wanted a new Doctor. Without hesitation, she said Dr. Ron Phillips, "the best." Thus after being with Dr. Phillips for only a year or two, I came to realize that because of his shining Spirit and huge heart for his patients, I soon began to feel that I would faithfully follow the full range of medical care he tailored for me: diet, exercise, lots of pure vitamin supplements and well aimed prescriptions. Soon after, I had the overwhelming sense that I would try even harder to follow his "Wellness Program". Thus, only a little while later my feelings changed foever to NOT wanting to let Dr. Phillips down.
As for the specific moment that mattered more than others? Hard to pick one, but there is one that brought a big smile to both our faces. It was late last Fall (2023) when Dr. Phillips was methodically going over the results of my Annual Physical with me. When he came to the last page and "Grip Strength" his face lit-up as he announced that each of the three (3) measures in my Left Hand and Right Hand were all 100's. Being 80-1/2 Years-old and 150-lbs., he exclaimed that none of his patients in my age range "were even close".
