Patient Satisfaction
Hear what our patients have to say about us.
Thankful for the Caring and Professional Treatment
Dr. Gilmore and his staff are extremely caring, personal, and always make you feel like you are their main priority. He follows up by a personal call after every procedure. Customer service is almost non existent in today's world and when you find it you want to promote it. Thank you Dr. Gilmore and staff!

A Happy Patient Plans to Spread the Word
My range of motion has "doubled" since treatment by Dr. Gilmore. I was not been able to raise my arm to my head in years. I am very pleased with his care and plan to spread the word about Dr. Gilmore.
