Verified Patient's Story

Comments: Dr. Gilmer was referred to me by a colleague of mine. I had planned to have surgery at ROC but decided to meet Dr. Gilmer for a second opinion. He was very courteous and explained my biology and structure of my knee based on an MRI and X-rays that I had taken at ROC the week prior. He was extremely informative and had superior bedside manner. I ended up moving my surgery to the Swift Institute to have Dr. Gilmer perform a Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy as well as an MPFL replacement to correct the Mal-Tracking in my left knee joint to prevent further dislocations. He did a superb job in surgery and was very reassuring in pre-op. I am currently 7 weeks out and had a concern after a Physical Therapy session this week. He brought me into his office the very same day, despite having a full schedule, to examine my knee and incisions himself. He again was very thorough, reassuring and informative and did not even charge me for the visit; I could not be happier with Dr. Gilmer and The Swift Institute. As my condition is bi-lateral I will require the same procedures on my right knee as well and will, with out a doubt, be going to Dr. Gilmer for that surgery as well. 10/10 would recommend Dr. Gilmer and The Swift Institute.
