Ricky Phillips, DNP

An Air Force veteran with over 20 years of health care experience, Dr. Phillips is a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, who believes that optimal health and wellness involves much more than simply “a pill for every ill.” Because no two patients are alike, he takes a holistic approach to treatment with a focus on individualizing a health and wellness plan based upon each person’s goals and needs. He has written several health-related articles for and been interviewed by local magazines and has also appeared on the local news promoting the Paleo diet. Prior to becoming a nurse practitioner, he was an emergency/ flight nurse, and clinical manager in a large emergency department located in the New Orleans metropolitan area. Dr. Phillips is the owner of Pelican Primary Care.
