The world’s best MD!

After my knee replacement with Dr. Gilbert, I walked around, it didn’t hurt, I wasn’t sore, I didn’t need to take any pain medication. Amazing!

Skilled and talented surgeon

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Gilbert and TOA. I had my one-year follow-up for a complete hip replacement today. My appointment was 8:30; I arrived early and was seen early. I don’t believe I have ever waited more than 10 minutes past my appointment time to be called in. His talent is amazing. The day after my surgery, I was on my feet, and NONE of the pre-existing pain was present! A very skilled and talented surgeon. Another testament of his bedside manner, my surgery was scheduled for a Monday morning – I received a personal telephone call from Dr. Gilbert the evening prior…a Sunday, asking if I had any concerns or questions and that he would see me the following day. I have never had that type caring from any physician! From my experiences, I highly recommend Dr. Gilbert for any joint needs. He will be my surgeon of choice.
