Dr. Gilliam is one of the most caring and informative doctors I have seen in a long time. He makes you feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. He keeps things light but is also very informative about the procedure. He never rushes things and will continue to answer questions regardless of the time he has spent with you. I would highly recommend Dr Gilliam.

My experience is similar to his other low star reviewers. His mind were clearly made up in the appointment, and we talked more about his retirement thanks to my mom trying to put him in a better mood. Didn’t care about my previous chronic and severe gallbladder condition, or my notable family history. He wrote “angry and unpleasant” in my notes. When I told my mother, she was shocked because she only saw me as in pain but focused. Why would anyone be happy and jolly while experiencing pain and discussing serious medical hist... read more

I came for a visit today as my symptoms had gotten much worse recently. My last visit was in Jan 2018. Dr. Gilliam told me I had gained an "excessive" amount of weight over two years (15 lb weight gain) and that all of my issues were likely weight related. When I reiterated that I had these symptoms two years ago before I gained weight, he refused to listen or consider other causes. For reference, I'm 5'5" female, 165 lb, a size 6 in clothes. I am not obese by any stretch of the imagination and there is no medical reason my ... read more

He's retired on the job. After the colonoscopy, I still had diarrhea for 9 days. Then severe diverticulitis. I called and called their on call # listed and the handout sheet given after colonoscopy . I left messages no call back in six hours . I lateo r called the answering service and they said he was not one of their clients! While still in the hospital I again called their office . Their statement was ha ha the doctor on call had a defective beeper. There is more but this was the most egregious

9 days after colonoscopy, I was still having nausea, diarrhea. On 10th day, a Saturday, I had severe diarrhea, nausea, and disabling gastrointestinal pain. I began calling the 'on call' doc for Dr. Gilliam, every 2 hours.,finally called the paging service . They told me that Dr. Gilliam was NOT part of their system, no doc to tell me what to do. I went to ER, hospitalized 6 days, Upon discharge, I STILL had not been called as to whether a polyp biopsy was malignant. I called 'on call"after 2days in hospital, no response. I i... read more

Dr. Gilliam is exceptional. He has outstanding skills as well as being kind and approachable. Both my husband and I have gone to him for several years. We know a number of physicians that go to him for care which tells you a lot. We trust him completely.

I had a colonoscopy and an endoscopy done 2 weeks ago. After the procedure, he told me I needed another test, and his office would call me. The hospital said to call him if I didn't have my results in a week so I did. They lady I talked to was rude, and said she could see the results in his inbox and he hadn't reviewed them. I then asked about the additional cost and she rudely said We don't have any notes so we can't do anything until we have notes. We hung up leaving me with no answers.
