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.

Highly recommend Dr. Gillis
I find Dr. Gillis to be very thorough in her exam and review of my health history. She is proactive on health issues, giving reminders for bone, breast and colonoscopy health checks, and looks at the whole person, including diet and exercise, without being militant. Her office staff is always friendly and helpful. As a patient for @ 10 years, I feel as if I’m getting excellent care and recommend her without hesitation.

Great gynecologist
I like Dr Gillis because she takes the time to answer questions and explain things in detail. Most doctors spend less than five minutes in the room with you. Not Dr Zoe Gillis. I will continue to drive the 45 minutes drive to see her each year.

She always knows what she is talking about and I like it. She advised many choices and let time to think about what you want. She did her best to make me understand what going on with my situation.

Horrible experience all together. Incredibly rude and cold like others have said and I wish I had read. Totally wasted my time, went in for surgery and she told me that she would not do it without IV sedation after the 3 hours I was there even though I was clear from the beginning that i would not be put under or use any sedatives during the hymenectomy which would have been easier than when I had four impacted wisdom teeth removed with only Novacaine as even the anesthesiologist stated.

Dr. Gillis, was thorough and made sure I understood all of the options, possibilities and outcomes. Her staff was friendly and caring. As for being on time, she was only 5 minutes late! Which is practically unheard of now a days.
