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.

Helpful & Caring
Dr. Gilleon cares about his patients and always addresses every question or concern without rushing you out of the door. His attentiveness and care to ensure your understanding of treatment/options is beyond reproach. His staff at both locations are super friendly and I cannot recommend them enough.

I went for years trying to figure out a problem with my throat and the doctor kept telling me that it was due to silent acid reflux. Even after extensive treatment for the “acid reflux” nothing changed. He did surgery to fix a deviated septum thinking if we could mitigate the allergies and mucus maybe that would fix the issue but it didn’t. Plus ever since that surgery I’ve had more problems with my sinuses than ever. Finally I went to Shands in Gainesville and they told me that I had laryngeal dysfunction where my vocal cords did not close like they should. They did a procedure on my throat when helped immensely. I don’t know why Gilleon couldn’t see the issue but I spent so much money for a problem that could be fixed easily. He was also not very personable and seemed unconcerned with my issue. Everything felt routine with him, like he didn’t want to spend much effort to figure out the problem.

He was amazing. My baby had a lip tie & it was painful to nurse her. I was scared to put her through any procedure for my own comfort but knew it had to be done. Dr. Gilleon put me at ease & the procedure was super quick. She now nurses without hurting me. So thankful for him listening to me when the pediatrician didn't.
