In patients' words

"Dr Gillespie is amazing. He has great bedside manner and takes time to listen to his patients, which is hard to find these days."

Vitals

"My husband was the patient and all she seems interested in is milking your insurance company for unnecessary pain blocks... She is one of these Dr's that don't give a rat's ass about what the patient says she just wants the insurance money."

WebMD

"I've been going here for so many years that every one seems like family I would never dream of going anywhere where else because I know I would never get the level of care I receive here."
