I would advise staying far away from Gilchrist and for that matter O Carolina. I went to Gilchrist and did not agree with his treatment which I guess upset him and he refused to sign my disability forms and got his people to kick me out of the clinic. OCarolina never asked me about my concerns with Gilchrist which basically shows they are not on the patients' side. I would look elsewhere. Gilchrist basically tells you how you feel instead of asking how things are. STAY AWAY!!

Horrible, I do not recommend him at all! If you want someone to listen to you, he is not the person to see. Will take your insurance for a ride!
