Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My Hands Are Back! Exceptional Care!
Dr. Richard Gilbert is truly a miracle worker. I came to him with significant pain and limitations in both hands, suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome and multiple trigger fingers. Over 2 years, he performed two carpal tunnel surgeries and three trigger finger releases, and the results have been life-changing.From the very first consultation, Dr. Gilbert demonstrated exceptional knowledge and expertise. He took the time to thoroughly explain my conditions, the surgical procedures, and the expected recovery process. He answered all my questions patiently and clearly, making me feel completely at ease. His calm demeanor and confidence were incredibly reassuring.What truly sets Dr. Gilbert apart is his dedication to his patients. He followed up closely after each procedure, monitoring my progress and addressing any concerns. He genuinely cares about his patients' well-being and is committed to achieving the best possible outcomes.

Office visit
Excellent visit. Dr. Gilbert was kind, caring and thorough. I saw him for my broken wrist. I was told by another doctor that I needed surgery, but Dr. Gilbert recommended that I get a cast. My wrist healed perfectly without surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Gilbert.

Based on my personal experience, The doctor is good. The doctors staff is abhorrent. Rude, impersonal and have no compassion for patients who require medical treatment. Do yourself a favor and find another hand specialist.

Doesn’t have a very good bedside manor. Can be sarcastic.

I was recently referred to Dr. Gilbert, by my primary physician. Impressed with his background information, I made an appointment. Within a few weeks, and without any complication, my surgery was performed. I highly recommend Dr. Gilbert. From the start, I found him to be very informative, answering my questions before being asked. His demeanor was comforting, and experience in this area was immediately apparent. I was confident Dr. Gilbert was a fine choice. Turns out, I was right!
