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.

Exceptional surgeon
My experience with dr Gillespie from scheduling an appointment to having surgery was five stars. His office team including Gina Amanda and Matt are so compassionate with their patients in the hospital and the office. Every time I called with questions I was impressed with the speed of return calls as well as their explanations in an understandable language. Dr Gillespie explained the procedure thoroughly and I was very impressed with the time he spent with both me and never felt like he needed to get to his next patient I had surgery on Thursday and was discharged on Friday afternoon after a complete follow up by dr Gillespie and Matt Busch an amazing experience. My thanks to the whole team

I was treated by Dr. Gillespie for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome in Feb 2019. I am extremely happy and thankful to have been cared for by him and his team. He is confident, knowledgeable and charismatic. A surgeon with a cheerful bedside manner! Due to his great care and skill, the procedure went smoothly and my recovery was better then I could have hoped for. I would highly recommend Dr. Gillespie!!
