Dr. Gilhool explained my and my sister’s problems very well while using the MRI pictures. He explained the different procedures that could be used. He allowed me to record his explanation. I had 2 epidurals in my back for sciatica plus physical therapy and now have no pain. After each procedure he walked me back to my cubicle instead of having a nurse do it. He said it was the best part of his job. It made me feel that I was important and not just a number. I highly recommend him. My sister will be going to him next for her neck pain.
