Very nice doctor. Gentle and listens to your issues. I've recommended her many times.

As a new patient I was very disappointed in the appointment. Dr. Gillespie's nurse and Dr. Gillespie were rude and neither knew anything about bedside manner. The doctor and nurse were condescending and couldn't care less about my concerns. Would never recommend this doctor or staff for anything. Also, if you do happen to make the unfortunate choice to go to this doctor, remember to bring your records, even if told by the person making your appointment not to.

After being treated I was having a problem. After calling several times, I received no call back from dr or staff.

The whole experience is I will not be going back. Each time you go to an appointment you have to fill out the same paper work even though nothing has changed. Dr. keeps you waiting for hours, no thank you.

Very disappointed in the care I was given. I was finally sent to another doctor and found out I wasted a full year with Dr. Gillespie, only to have everything corrected in one week. Sorry sorry I wasted my time, money and health.

Please do yourself a favor and get a second opinion before agreeing to any procedures with Dr Gillespie. I learned the hard way. I wish I knew a year ago what I know now. Run don't walk!!

I had an ear problem that three other doctors could not resolve that lasted for over a year. Dr Gillespie had it under control in two sessions. I continue to see her whenever I have a need. Excellent doctor.

I found the doctor to lack sensitivity and concern for my pre and post surgical operation. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, assuming she lacks social skills. But evidently she appears to not want to be bothered with her patients and their concerns. After a painful surgery, the doctor was incredibly dismissive and downplayed my concerns. Unfortunately I could not recommend her for a complete lack of bedside manner. If youre looking for a doctor to follow up post surgery, she does not. And when you contact the office with concerns and complaints of pain and discomfort, she will dismiss you promptly.
