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.

Excellent Physician
Dr. Hilburn takes the time to talk to you and you are not rushed. He listens carefully and finds the best route of care to take. Getting an appointment is somewhat easy within a couple of weeks, depending on his busy schedule. His medical assistant, Sandra, is very friendly and efficient. Blood draws, urine specimen, normal vitals,and probably more can be done right in the office. Dr. Hilburn also calls you when needed. I highly recommend him for a Senior needing personalized care.

Very Caring Doctor
I have been seeing Dr. Hilburn for almost a year now. I first used him for an annual physical. I noticed he is extremely attentive and a great listener. I started seeing him since for all my medical needs. He strikes me as a very caring gentleman. Unlike other doctors, he calls to check on me when I am sick and he always explained my lab tests and discussed in detail his plan to manage my health care.

Chronic sinusitis
Dr. Hilburn cracked the code on this condition of which I had been suffering for almost 40 years. His recommendation of keeping my sinuses s flushed on a daily basis involved my continued attention and he was very supportive in making sure I did it. The result, is that I have stopped the infections before they started, rather than treating after.

Excellent Doctor, Wonderful Person!
Dr Hilburn is very experienced and thorough. He takes the time to learn everything that he can about his patient. He treats their intricacies with great respect and care.. understanding the uniqueness of that person. Dr Hilburn's knowledge & understanding of elders is so evident and is a hugely important consideration in medication treatments. Dr Hilburn is committed to staying up to date on research, including a recent FDA approved genetic test to determine whether certain drugs are compatible with a patient. He is eager to unravel the health history of an elder person and come up with solutions that fit. Dr Hilburn is easy to talk to and does house calls and hospital visits. You hardly ever hear of a Doctor who does those things anymore! Dr Hilburn has been the best Doctor our Mom has ever had! He has been wonderful with her and our family. Dr Hilburn is very kind, considerate, and a great resource and If you have the good fortune to meet with him...he will do his best for you.

Clinically Astute and Compassionate Physician
I am a Mental Health Professional specializing in Family and Individual Therapy and Medical Liaison. One of my patients told me about their visit with Dr. Hilburn. They were so happy to spend more than 15 minutes with a doctor, and someone who listened and genuinely cared. Dr. Hilburn researches the patients history and former treatment plans and looks at all aspects of their health and emotional concerns. Dr. Hilburn is boarded both in Internal Medicine and Geriatrics and has trained in Geriatric Psychiatry. I have since referred many patients to his practice and all report back how compassionate and genuinely caring he is. I have seen his unusual practice notes, and the time he takes to included history and all relative information is critical for any specialist following the patients. Dr. Hilburn not only treats patients but educates them and any involved family members. He is an outstanding physician.

He is Board Certified in Geriatric Medicine and has an excellent understanding of all the complexities in the aging population. In addition, he has a extensive interest and education of the psychological underpinnings of some medical conditions, which is rare for many physicians. He treats the mind and body.

One of a kind , kind, thorough very caring .5 star
I am a 74 years old Veterinarian practitioner. I have never had such a kind doctor in my life . He is an amazing soul who listens to you and your medical issues so thoroughly as he is writing a book about you . He is a patient listener no matter how long it takes to know you and your medical issues . Thorough work up to diagnose your health problems and reached the depths of your problems . He is angel from heavens for me. Now I feel like he is my family friend as I can call him anytime any day and discuss my pains and aches . He is always friendly and welcoming as no other doctor ever made me feel so welcoming and listens to you to help yiu resolve your issues. I am the most satisfied patient and recommend any person who needs a concerned and caring doctor . My words are never strong enough to express my feelings and satisfaction . I give him 10 out of 10 and five star on rating . I am blessed and fortunate to choose him as my geriatric physician. Don’t look no more, you’ve got best.
