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. Gilson is the best! He is kind, compassionate, and a good listener. He listens to my complaints and he explains everything to me in a way I can understand. He has a wealth of information. I have gotten an answer to every question I have ever asked. That's what I need in a doctor.

I just moved to RI after 24 years in FL. I have a very long history of cardiac issues, procedures and hospitalizations. The minute he walked in the door, he knew ny whole history. He spent about an hour with me, explaining things my old doc never did. This guy is great.

I have had Dr. Gilson as my cardiologist for about 20 years. He is a brilliant physician and a fantastic person. With my history, I have come across a great number of cardiology health providers ( nurses, techs, excercise physiologists and internists etc.), and they all unanimously speak incredibly highly of him. There are a lot of board certified cardiologist but only a few that combine skills, personality and patient communication like Dr. Gilson

I first met Dr. Gilson a few weeks ago after a trip to the ER. The next morning he did a cardio version on me. He put me at ease with his kindness and compassion. When I left the hospital I was told That I would need a cardiologist,needless to say, I chose Dr Gilson. I had my first visit with him and he was so patient with me, answering all my questions, not at all rushing through the appointment. I left his office feeling very comfortable, knowing I had made the right choice in Dr Gilson.

About 15 years ago Dr Gilson was the on call doctor who saved my life when I had a heart attack after brought into the RI Hospital Emergency Room. Since then he has been my cardiologist and has been excellent to work with over the years. I found Dr Gilson to be open, honest and easy to discuss health care treatments to keep me alive to this day. I would without question recommend him to anyone seeking medical advice or treatment regarding cardiac care.
