Meet Our Doctors
Philip C. Sailer, MD
Orthopaedic Surgeon
“My goal with every person I care for is to deliver targeted, compassionate care with patience and humility. That’s because I’m accountable for my patients’ outcomes, and that’s an awesome responsibility that I take very seriously.
“The first step is to make an accurate diagnosis, and that requires effective communication. That’s why I begin by sitting down with my patients and listening as they describe their symptoms and how they affect their lives, no matter how long that takes. I owe my patients that and more because they are trusting me to do the right thing for them.
“Although I have a down-to-earth attitude with patients, I’m very confident in my ability as a surgeon. I have been well-trained in traditional and minimally invasive spine surgery and have performed hundreds of these procedures, which allow for quicker and easier recoveries. I’m devoted to my patients and to delivering the quality of care they deserve.
“I became a physician because I enjoy solving difficult problems and wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. As an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in spinal surgeries, I can do both and see the tangible results in people’s backs ... and on their faces.
“It’s such a joy to see the difference effective, personalized care makes to patients who are debilitated due to spine-related problems. Seeing them walking and enjoying life again is such a rewarding experience. I know that I’ve done my job when a patient tells a friend or relative, ‘You need to see Dr. Sailer. He fixed my back and treated me very well.’”
