Good experience with Dr Gillman. Too long a wait-45 minutes waiting in exam room with no explanation.

Dr. Gillman was thorough and straightforward. He answered questions I didnt even ask. His explanations we clear and concise.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/17/2025
The doctor ignored my obvious signs of distress (tears and verbal cues), and continued talking. He also made me feel like I didn't have a choice about the kind of procedure. He is very knowledgeable, and he meant well. However, I was extremely uncomfortable.

Dr. Grant Gillman was extremely professional, kind and compassionate concerning my care. He described in depth the procedure needed to mitigate my breathing issues to include potential adverse issues. His candidness concerning everything involved is reassuring! Dr. Gillman is the surgeon I want to have work on my issues.

Wonderful doctor

Dr. Gillman is a tremendous physician who really cares about his patients. He did a great job on my ear surgery. I am so thankful that he found the problem with my ear so early before it became a bigger issue. I feel very confident in his abilities as a surgeon and I know I have found the perfect replacement for Dr. Hirsch who retired.

Dr. Hillman was great. He took his time, didn't rush me in and out. He explained the problem so I could understand it and he explained treatment options.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/16/2024
He took the extra time to answer all of our questioms and show my son pictures of before and after surgeries.

He felt very dismissive to me. He may not have intended it to be that way, but that is the way I felt. For what I have been going through elsewhere, I felt it was uncalled for.

I was very impressed with Dr Gillman. He was easy to talk to and was very interested to help with my concerns. I liked his approach to my care.

He gave me the prescribed 15 minutes for the visit and did not have much to my understanding of my problem

My whole experience was worth it, some things got taken care of and I have a follow up appointment to discuss other options.

Despite being scheduled with the wrong office the doctor took time to explain what had happened and talked about my complaint a little. He also directed me to the right office. He was excellent.

Very good team

Dr. Gillman did 2 nose surgeries . I saw him for another issue not surgery related. He gave me concise advice and instructions on how to handle . I really respect him and would highly recommend him.
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/18/2023
Kinda got the feeling the Doc was telling me it wasnt an issue. Good to know he has seen worse, but that didnt convey he cared about my condition very well. In the end, on to imaging to see what's what is a good next step.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/23/2023
I felt like I had a say in my treatment as opposed to a doctor trying to push expensive surgeries on me and telling me they were crucial for my health. Dr. Hillman was very honest about my condition and gave me the final say in what course of action to take, unlike my past doctor who already had a surgery scheduled after a 10-minute appointment. I definitely recommend Dr. Hillman for patients who want to feel in control of their health

Dr seemed rushed, and stood up twice to leave the room before I even finished explaining problems.
