Dentist in Chardon
Get to Know Dr. Emily Phillips
To Dr. Phillips, while creating stunning smiles is always rewarding, what truly matters most is forging bonds with everyone she treats. As a 2nd-generation dentist, she has witnessed firsthand how warm, devoted dental care can be life-changing, protecting someone’s well-being while boosting their confidence for decades to follow.
Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
Dr. Phillips chose to pursue dentistry after observing how her father (our own Dr. Christopher Phillips) treated his patients and the profound connections he built over his career. She was attracted to the distinct blend of medical care, creativity, and interpersonal connections that the dental field offers.
Dr. Phillips did her undergraduate studies at the University of Mount Union prior to obtaining her dental degree from The Ohio State University. Throughout her rigorous clinical training in dental school, she gained hands-on experience in restorative dentistry, preventive dentistry, crown and bridge procedures, removable prosthodontics, and treatment planning. Dedicated to continuous learning via ongoing education to keep current with the newest dental innovations, she holds active memberships in the American Dental Association and Ohio Dental Association.
Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?
Dentistry is a frequent topic for Dr. Phillips and her family. She not only works alongside her dad at our practice, but her mom is also our office manager! Having grown up doing gymnastics and college pole vaulting, Dr. Phillips still enjoys staying fit with regular Pilates classes and walks. Despite her busy schedule, she always carves out meaningful time for loved ones and friends.
