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.

Truly expert care
Dr. Gillis is not only renowned as the standard of Orthopedic Surgery, but he should also be renowned for his compassion and his ability to explain complex medical issues to a patient. I am, and will be, in the care of a phenomenal physician.

Outstanding in all areas from the moment I arrived for my first appointment and continuing with my follow up appts. I had a total reverse right shoulder replacement and all has gone very well. Tammy in the office made all arrangements after the first visit for all appts and surgery. She is top drawer. Highly recommend this doctor.

My experience was good. He took time to clearly explain the issues with my surgery. Looking back, he was very upfront and realistic so my expectations were kept in check. My surgery has drawbacks but that isn't his fault. My only issue is he is only available for the most important appointments and the follow-ups go to his PA who is also good but it's not the doc! I submitted several questions I thought of after the fact via the portal and all were promptly answered.
