Reviews of Dr. Gillon

Caring wonderful doctor and highly skilled as a vascular surgeon...she is also a lovely human being.

One of the best, most compassionate doctors I have ever met. The surgeries are intricate and require composure and thoughtfulness.

Everything from start to finish was perfect. Great office staff too! Dr Gilon exlained everything as did her assistant. Recovery time was just as she predicted with no side effects of any kind. I love the way my legs look and feel. Wish Dr. Gillon was an internist, she would be so popular.

She totally changed my life...for the better. She is professional, competent, and really knows what she is doing.

Several years ago my family physician referred me to Dr. Gillon for a case of varicosities in my legs. They were uncomfortable, true, but like most guys I simply resigned myself to the fact, and wasn't particularly concerned about them. That was dumb. Thankfully, Dr. Gillon educated me about the danger that varicosities can pose over time (to the point of disability), and also explained simply and clearly the procedure that's used to correct them (which is remarkably quick and almost painless). After having the procedure, I could hardly believe how much better my legs felt. Dr. Gillon is one of those rare physicians who can reassure patients with their very presence. Her handling of the actual procedure was beyond reproach, and she did everything possible to address all of my concerns, beforehand and afterward. Her office staff is remarkable: efficient, courteous and knowledgeable. I came away from the experience genuinely grateful that I had been referred to her.
