Dr Gilchrist is an excellent doctor. Other doctors I went to couldnt find the problem, but Dr. Gilchrist found it and treated me, and I was pain free! He is very knowledgeable and precise. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Gilchrist.

I started seeing dr Gilchrist in 2012. I saw several doctors that didn't seem to want to help me. They wanted to treat me without doing full diagnostics. I decided to try Dr Gilchrist. He did several tests on me,made my diagnosis,THEN treats me. I FINALLY had answers. He explains the condions i have and what the treatments are for. I get spinal injections. All Exrays,MRI and cat scans,as well as injections are done at the office. He is steady and gentle with treatment. Its impossible to always be %100 comfortable,but he makes great effort to help ease his patients anxiety.

Dr. Gilchrist is a quiet man, a man who is patient and listens to your needs. He believes in being aggressive and treating the focus problem.
While in the examination room he displays great knowledge and also seeks your input. Wow and the surgical procedure room he is focused and uses up most Precision with his hands. He also listens to the patient and gives them a pause if a breather is required. He has my trust.

Neck Pain both sides, numbness in hand & fingers. Dr. Gil Christ is efficient and told me exactly what was causing my pain, DDD. He laid out a treatment plan and it started immediately. I’m excited to begin PT and meds for pain relief. He is comfortable and knowledgeable, I like his direct approach.

Was worried about taking injections in my back for pain relief. Stenosis, sever arthritis, and sciatica nerve had my body so tightened up that it was hard to even roll over in bed. Dr. Gilchrist took the time to make sure what was required to get me up and around a little better. He started me on physical therapy to get my core stronger and then the injections. The injections were not as horrible as I had imagined. Dr Gilchrist and the staff that work with him were very professional and pleasant. I am glad my sister found such a good Dr and staff...and recommended them to me. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Gilchrist is very kind. He listens to my explanations a pain that I'm experiencing. He always has a good response in situations where something new has developed. He does not just accept that nothing can be done. Very highly recommended.
