Dr. Alexander John Phillips
Dr. Alexander John Phillips is a 3rd generation dentist who followed in the footsteps of his grandfather, mother, and father (whom are all dentists), and now serves the vibrant community of Coronado, CA.
Growing up, he was always very active, participating in club swimming, water polo, and volleyball. San Diego always held a special place in his heart, as his family visited multiple times every year due to his father’s service in the US Navy. One of his fondest memories was competing annually in the La Jolla Cove ocean race.
Dr. Phillips has a deep appreciation for giving back to those less fortunate, having volunteered in Mexico, Guatemala, and downtown Los Angeles’s Union Rescue Mission where they provided dental services for the homeless. He also continues to better himself as a clinician and has over 600 hours of continuing education. He is currently pursuing a Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry, and hopes to one day be a Fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry as well.
When not in the office, Dr. Phillips can be found swimming in Glorietta Bay, surfing by the Coronado Shores, and spending time with his family (first daughter born March 2024!).
