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.

Horrible experience
I was looking for a new obgyn. I made an appt with Dr. Gilchrist. My husband and I explained to him that I had been suffering from depression and my libido was low. He quickly asked me in response to this… “ Were you sexually abused as a child?” I sat there in shock. Of course not! I had been under a lot of stress at that time with my job, which we explained to him. My blood pressure was up. He quickly blamed it on my bc pills. He put on no estrogen bc pills. I had a period that lasted from October until February. I became anemic and even more exhausted. I finally was able to get in with Dr. Lazenby at the Medical Center. Dr. Lazenby fixed every thing and got me back on track.

Horrible, absolutely unprofessional. I did a lot of research on my own (not from blogs, from scientific journals), but when I brought it up he blew me off. The research I was bringing up went directly contradictory to what he was recommending/ordering me to do. He told me to stop asking questions and do what he said because I wasn't a doctor. When I asked him to look at the research he refused and actually got mad at me. He chooses to be ignorant of recent research, I consider that unsafe.

Dr. Gilchrist has excellent bed side manner and knows how to establish rapport with his patients. He is very professional and genuinely cares about his patients. He makes his patients feel comfortable and welcome. I enjoyed having him as my doctor on my very first visit as an Aventa patient.

After struggling with infertility for nearly 4 years, Dr. Gilchrist always maintained a patient and compassionate heart. He not only performed procedures that allowed us to conceive, but he also prayed over my husband and I. He is a WONDERFUL doctor and Godly man. Dr. Cleveland ended up being the doctor on call when we delivered our miracle baby. I highly recommend any of the doctors on staff at Aventa. Great atmosphere, great compassion and great sense of "home."
