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.

I had a great experience with Dr Gilmore, he answered all my questions and took care of all my concerns, great doctor.

He billed Medicare $878 to clean the wax out of one ear. Did a good job, though. And hey, I ain't paying for it, so why not go back.

Terrible unprofessional. Literally shames patients if they have a boil and it’s unsightly or smells. Your a DOCTOR ! Have some professionalism and respect for your patient. Makes it to the point you don’t even want to seek help because of the embarrassment he causes you.

Well I didn’t know what to expect after surgery but I can say that the operation was a success and I fill that the operation did wonders for my breathing I am a nose breather. Things turned out great. Keep up the great work Dr and staff.

I never imagined my sinuses/breathing could feel this good. I had about 5 sinus infections a year and now it is practically none. I cannot say enough of Dr. Gilmore’s professionalism, excellence as a surgeon and courteous bedside manner. Best ENT in the universe!!! He is a Keeper!

Dr. Gilmore examined swollen lymph node and examined my throat with a scope. Saw nothing unusual. Biopsied my lymph node, it took over a week to get the results. Pathology report was inconclusive. He wanted to remove the lymph node, send it to a pathologist for further examination. Major surgery. I decided to get a second opinion. Good, potentially lifesaving choice. They found cancer at the base of my tongue (he missed) as well as in my lymph node. No surgery. Referral to oncologist.

Worse plastic surgeon ever!. I spend a lot of money for him to basically leave my nose the way it was. I had a deviated septum and a broken nose. He said he was going to change my nose completely, Lies!

I would not recommend Dr. Gilmore - on the contrary I would suggest another ENT. I found him to be rude and the diagnosis incorrect. In addition the wait was much too long.
