UofU Patient August 30, 2016

UofU Patient August 24, 2016I like that he took the time, to reassure me about my issues
UofU Patient August 23, 2016I never feel rushed and he always takes the time to answer all my questions n concerns.
UofU Patient August 18, 2016this was good. I like that he was forward and not trying to hide the bad. wish all doctors were like him.
UofU Patient August 12, 2016I have told 5 people that I know to call Dr. Gililland and talk to him about their knee!!!
UofU Patient July 26, 2016Dr. Gililland has been SUPER. He listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions. I would recommend him to anybody. He has changed my life.
UofU Patient July 26, 2016he doesn't listen to the patient. he tends to be argumentative when issues are brought up.
UofU Patient July 22, 2016Dr. Gililland and his team always provide exceptional care!
UofU Patient July 12, 2016Dr. Gililland has been open and communicative through out my experience.
UofU Patient July 11, 2016Very satisfied!!!
UofU Patient July 05, 2016Dr. Gilliland was friendly, professional, and courteous. However, I think he made some assumptions about my attitude & concerns towards my knee replacement, my level of activity, etc. I've never been happy with this knee replacement (performed by a Seattle doctor) because of pain, and because my knee often locks up on me or gives way. That's my reality, despite assurances from Dr. Gilliland that the hardware in my leg was properly aligned, etc. I was reassured, however, that there was no infection and that Dr. Gilliland was going to administer a shot to my "hip" to help alleviate pain and prescribed physical therapy as part of my treatment plan. I never really anticipated a revision surgery, and I am very relieved to avoid such a drastic measure. During this appointment, we discussed my left knee only, as that was the recommendation by Laura Wood, even though I've been experiencing quite a lot of discomfort and unpredictability in my right knee. I'm told I have "mild osteoarthritis" in that knee, but it is painful nonetheless.
UofU Patient June 30, 2016always a wonderful experience
