Dr. Kelly W. Philpot, MD

In my opinion Dr. Philpot isn't a good doctor! When i went to her for help she did not listen to me nor give me help to elevate my problem. When i complained, she got Dr. Ellis (whom I've never meet) involved. And although my health complaints were substantiated with medical proof, I was denied help on the very basic of levels. I then had to go to the ER bc she would not help with my problem. I was helped immediately! I then choose to switch to another doctor at ECU for a follow up and was accepted by this new doctor. This new doctor and staff members saw me and treated me with respect, care, concern and most importantly helped with my problem. I was then told by Dr. Ellis, that since i didn't get along with Dr. Philpot i could no longer be seen by any ECU family practice doctors. There would have been no problems if Dr. Philpot helped me! That was the complaint. If 2 other doctors saw the need to help me why did she deny me help? Unless i feel, bc my race was a factor. I personally feel it is blatant Racism. Bc although another doctor there was willing to treat me whom i had already seen, Dr. Ellis denied that. If the goal is to first do no harm, why deny me health care from a willing doctor unless in my opinion another motive is at work and pride got in the way. I feel my race was the primary reason for denial of services from Dr. Philpot and Dr. Ellis. I personally wouldn't recommend either. Banned from practices that neither of them work at. If that isn't the heavy hand of racism i don't know what is. I remember when patient care was #1, not anymore from these two doctors.

Thorough, knowledgeable, and takes plenty of time to discuss things with the patient. Very kind woman, who makes you feel totally at ease.

Finest physician I have ever had. First rate.
