About
Dr. Phillip Rhoads earned his medical degree from the University of Arkansas School of Medicine in 1998. He then completed a dual residency in Adult Internal Medicine and Pediatrics in 2002. That training gave him the breadth to care for patients from newborns through older adults. He holds board certifications in both Internal Medicine and Pediatrics.
Dr. Rhoads spent a decade in practice in Northwest Arkansas before relocating his family to Colorado in 2013. He practiced in Fort Collins for several years before founding NoCo Primary Care in 2017. His core belief is simple: if something outside of his own knowledge or the limits of medical science prevents a patient from receiving the best possible care, he has a responsibility to find another way. Outside the clinic, he spends time with his wife and two boys. He enjoys rock climbing, mountain biking, adventure racing, and camping in his well-used 1977 Airstream trailer.
