Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Gilhool was very thorough and answered all of my questions. He spent ample time with me

Dr. Gilhool Knows His Stuff!
Dr. Gilhool is extremely knowledable in his field. He explained what he saw on comparative X-Rays. He described what further treatment options were available. He knows exactly how the body reacts to certain conditions that show in the X-Ray. He previously treated very successfully me for a different orthopedic condition about 10 years ago. He is as down to earth as anyone can be.

Dr Gilhool was concerned about keeping me pain free and informed about what he was doing at all times. Looks you in the eyes as he’s talking and truly listened to me. His concern about your well being the entire procedure to the offer of an arm to walk back to room you are in good hands.

Empathetic, compassionate
Dr. Gilhool explained the procedure, which eased my anxiety, and was so very compassionate, concerning my care. He escorted me by allowing me to hold onto his arm back to the waiting area to be discharged so I wouldn’t fall. When I had complications, he personally called and talked to me over the phone, and was very kind.

Dr Gilhool great Dr
Dr Gilhool was great. He put me at ease about the shots he was going to put in my back. He explained every step of the process and made me feel totally comfortable with what he was doing. He is very personable and attentive, making sure I knew what he was doing what I would feel. This is my second time being his patient and I would be his patient again.

You're in good hands with Dr. G!
Dr. Gilhool and his entire staff always do a great job from the moment you check in, all the way until you are done and satisfied with the complete understanding and or resolution of your health issue. And if you don't believe me, I don't even live in York anymore and I still drive 40 mins to see him! They give me hope there.

Great Physician!
Dr. Gilhool was efficient, but took time to answer my questions and made me feel completely at ease about a procedure that I was originally very anxious about. I have already recommended OSS Health to friends and family due to their approach and kind, knowledgeable delivery of sports medicine and orthopaedic care.
