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've been his patient since he started under Dr Nick Gillespie in the late 1980s. He's great, honest, and listens to me. Couldn't get a better doctor, in my opinion.

I’m entered under a weight loss program there. I’m down 40 lbs. They've helped me a lot. Dr.’s are great. The blonde receptionist needs to be less intrusive with her looks of disapproval. I pay for a service there, I don’t need her looks of disgust or superiority. It’s happened in 2 occasions. She seems to think she’s the ultimate authority. It’s ver disconcerting.

Gill has started collecting an additional $2 “COVID Fee” on top of copays. (This is for ALL patients - with or without COVID.) Gill claims the $2 “COVID Fee” is to cover the costs of cleaning and a new mobile sign in option. They should have been thoroughly cleaning before COVID! Gill can’t afford to pay for cleaning his own offices, yet he can pay for a giant billboard on 6th Avenue??? Billboard advertising costs upward of a $1,000 a month! He can’t pay for a mobile option, yet he is paying for a reputation management and review aggregation application called Birdeye.com. My family liked the doctors they saw at Gill, but not the office business practices. Gill wouldn’t need to pay for reputation management if his front end management was up to par! My mom has transferred her care to a wonderful practice in Madison and our other family members will now do the same when we need medical care. No wonder Gill has to advertise on billboards!

Our family has seen the staff at Gill Family Medicine for over 20 years. Our experiences have been very positive. My husband sees Dr. Lockard and I see Dr. Matthews. Both Drs go above and beyond to help their patients. They listen to their patients and work as partners with us to seek diagnoses and treatment.
