Suzanne Phillips, M.D.
General Practice Physician
Suzanne Phillips, M.D. obtained her
B.A. with Honors in Political Science
from Columbia University, NYC (1980),
where she completed her premedical studies
with a New York State Regents scholarship.
A professional singer and musician from
youth, she had previously attended Manhattan
School of Music, NYC (1971-1974), where
she pursued scholarship studies in oboe,
piano and voice while performing as
an oboist in the Doctors Orchestral
Society of New York and singer in the
New York All-City Concert Choir. Her
postgraduate medical education was completed
at St. George's University School of
Medicine in Grenada, and she received
her M.D. in 1989.
Originally dedicated to a career in
medical research, Dr. Phillips pursued
residency training in Clinical Pathology
at Brooklyn Hospital Center (1990-1993).
However, her extensive work with AIDS
patients both as a student and resident
during the height of the epidemic inspired
her toward clinical practice and, declining
the honor of Chief Resident at Brooklyn
Hospital, she accepted a Fellowship
position in HIV Primary Care at the
Mt. Sinai AIDS Center, through the NYS
AIDS Institute, where she was given
the academic appointment of Instructor
of Internal Medicine at Mt. Sinai Hospital/School
of Medicine (1993-1994).
Again called to serve in the epidemic,
Dr. Phillips became a Staff Physician
at the Manhattan Detention Center through
an appointment by St. Vincent's Hospital
Correctional Health, NYC (1994-1995),
where she returned in 1999-2000 with
St. Barnabas Hospital Correctional Health.
Her work in correctional health focused
on instituting or continuing primary
care for inmates with HIV and counseling
those with undisclosed status to accept
testing and treatment. Dr. Phillips
was also an Attending Physician at Rivington
House, NYC (LTC and hospice for people
living with HIV/AIDS), 1995-1996, and
St. Clare's Hospital - Spellman Center
for HIV, NYC, 1996-1997, and moonlighted
as House Physician in Internal Medicine
at both St. Clare's Hospital and Gracie
Square Hospital, NYC.
A published writer in the monthly PWAC
Newsline from 1987-1992, Dr. Suzanne
Phillips served on the People With AIDS
Coalition Board of Directors, the Community
Research Initiative's IRB and the Community
Advisory Board for AIDS Treatment Resources,
NYC, 1987-1989. She also served as Sub-Investigator
in the expanded-access clinical trials
of Stavudine and Lamivudine, NYC (1992-1995),
and was appointed to the Anti-Viral
Advisory Committee to the FDA in September
1994 by FDA Commissioner Dr. David Kessler.
Dr. Suzanne Phillips has also worked
in clinical coordination and home care,
first as a Physician Field Reviewer
for Protective Services for Adults (PSA)
& Home Care Services, New York County
Health Services Review Organization,
New York City (1998-1999), then as Physician/Clinical
Care Director, NYC Addiction Treatment
Services (2002-2003). Having made house
calls to homebound patients since the
early days of the epidemic, Dr. Phillips
was pleased to return to work as a hands-on
House Call Physician with Expert Medical
Services, NYC (2007), and joins New
York House Call Physicians as a General
Practice physician.
