Brattle Square Optical - About Us
  We are located in what many consider the 'heart' of Cambridge, nearby and within the community of the Harvard University Campus.
   
  Dr. Phillips has chosen this location carefully, and is proud to say he has been an Optometrist in Harvard Square for over 15 years. New to this location, he is very happy to continue offering his professional expertise to Harvard students, alumni, faculty and Cambridge residents.
   
  In his new office, you will see familiar faces from past locations who remain with Lawrence no matter where he moves. Just further proof of Dr. Phillips' warm and friendly approach to his work.
   
  On one of his consulting room walls hangs a personalized autographed picture of Nelson Mandela, an icon of his time and a personal hero of Dr. Phillips. Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Dr Phillips graduated Witwatersrand Technikon School of Optometry. In 1975 after a short program at the London Refraction Hospital in England, he spent the following 15 years in his own private practice in and around Johannesburg.
