Every time I come here they always remember me by name and greet me as soon as I walk in the door, even if it's been months since my last appointment. They are so thoughtful and amazingly sweet, I just love this place. I was amazed at how wonderfully they treated each of their staff members. They were so appreciative and thankful. I've never seen any employer treat their staff better, and it made me want to come back that much more. Everyone in my community knows that they are the absolute best in the field. They make an extra effort to get to know their patients and find out what they need. They always remember me and make me feel very important.

I went to Dr Gill for about 4 years. At first I thought he was okay, because he never sent me for any tests which was very nice that I didn't have to drive here and there, etc... However given my condition (seizures), I come to find that I should have tests done every year (at least). Tests such as EEG's, MRI's, etc. When I was planning on having a child I got a second neuro. to be extra careful. Wow, what I learned from the second one changed me completely. While Dr. Gill was telling me all these years that my seizures are normal (and that they won't go away), I have to learn to live/adjust to them as a part of my life. I really thought Dr. Gill was just being realistic w/ me. However since this new doctor added a second medicine, I've been seizure-free. Dr Gill just kept adjusting the dosage of one medicine which never made me seizure-free. And now that I look back, how was Dr Gill ever gonna find anything about my condition w/o me having any tests,etc. I should have found a second opinion/new neurologist long back and believe me, I'm kicking myself.

When I actually see Dr. Gill, it's alright in the office visit. However the staff could be much much more civil. I don't even expect friendly (although that would be nice). They are mostly plain rude. Sometimes I call for something I forgot to mention to Dr. Gill in the visit and they treat me as if I should never forget anything, because they are so "busy with a patient right now" I'm a patient too.

Once when I told the staff on the phone that maybe the doctor made a mistake on something, the lady told me "the doctor doesn't make mistakes". Now come on. I told her he is human just like us and we all make mistakes. Then I reminded her of one of his most recent mistakes with me which was involving a prescription.

One time when I had changed my mind about something, the lady had said (with an attitude)"oh great I did all that for nothing. What a waste of time." All she did was walk to the backroom to get something for me. She should have waited till I was at least out the door to talk about me. Patients sometimes do change minds about things.

And the charges for prescriptions are a bit much. I could understand if there was a patient who made a habit of asking for prescription refills, but all prescription request having a charge. That's not right. I think it means more work for the office/doctor.

I'm afraid that Dr. Gill failed my father, who passed away from a very aggressive, fast growing, brain tumor. Dad's condition was deteriorating rapidly, and Gill's response was to order a blood test, and this is significant, he couldn't draw blood at his office. Dr. Gill had no concept of the reality of the practical aspects of accomplishing this task. Dad was really frail and incontinent, getting him anywhere was difficult and a long wait was impossible. Dr. Gill sent us to a LabCorp office that was packed with people getting tested for job purposes, drugs, whatever. No appointment was possible. Clearly, this was a situation that was COMPLETELY incapable of dealing with really sick people!!! Meanwhile, it was clear that my father was deteriorating and Gill did nothing. We called the neurosurgeon and described to him the rate of deterioration (which Gill saw with his own eyes) and he sent us immediately to the ER while he was on call, to get a CT and MRI to see what was going on. We did. The neurosurgeon saw that that the tumor was growing very rapidly. He ordered a large dose of decadron, which dramatically improved Dad's quality of life. I so wish that Dr. Gill had ordered it a month sooner. The neurosurgeon also sent us to an excellent Neuro Radiologist, but gave us a very frank assessment of Dad's condition. We needed the frankness to make good decisions.

The neurosurgeons very pro active stance enhanced my fathers quality life for the 6 weeks remaining to him. The neuro radiologist clearly laid out for us the treatment options, what they would have involved, and the math involved in how much time the treatments typically buy, on average. The clarity of these 2 doctors, plus the assistance we got from neuro pathology at Johns Hopkins University (my alma mater, but you don't have to be anyone to get their help, and it is covered by Medicare), gave us the opportunity to make an informed decision. We got hospice, and Dad had beautiful care to the end.

Dr. Gill's response to my dad was to get a blood test and a follow up MRI in 5 weeks. No recommendation of hospice, no decadron.

I can't stress strongly enough that families have to advocate powerfully for their loved ones to get proper care. Ask questions, research the disease on the web, talk to others who have travelled the same path. Aggressively seek doctors who will explain what is going on, take appropriate actions, and when the time comes, recommend hospice.

Dr. Gill is probably very fine for other illnesses. But I do not recommend him for treating an aggressively growing brain tumor, he doesn't seem to work fast enough for that. Perhaps he didn't have the heart to deliver the bad news. I don't know. Dad couldn't be saved, but quality of life, information, and hospice care were vitally important. Dr. Gill needed the compassion, smarts, and/or guts to make that happen.
