HEAR FROM SOME HAPPY PATIENTS
I've been a patient with Dr. Gilmore for over a year. He has conducted a series of injections in my spine, which helped my pain tremendously. He's also treated my knees and is currently helping with neck pain. I feel 100% at ease and have the utmost trust in his capabilities. He spends time with his patients to review pros/cons, options and risks. His staff work to obtain insurance coverage and care. They work with schedules and go over and beyond to bless their patients. I also appreciate the surgery center staff he utilizes as professional and compassionate providers. Highly recommend.
P.L.
I would highly recommend Dr. Gilmore. He listened to my issues. He is the only Dr I have met who knew the exact procedure I had done back in 1998. I'm very impressed with his knowledge.
