Dr. Frank Phillips, MD, Chicago, IL, 60607

I am committed to providing comprehensive care to patients with spinal disorders. I specialize in the surgical treatment of pathologies of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, with an interest in minimally-invasive surgery and also disc replacement and other motion-sparring procedures. I have published both basic science and clinical research in these areas.
