Dr. Gilchrist then completed his general surgery residency at the University of Tennessee College of Medicine in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he also completed a year of research, contributing to the fields of general surgery, pediatric surgery, and trauma.
His practice will focus on general surgery, including robotic and laparoscopic minimally invasive procedures. Dr. Gilchrist is looking forward to serving the Auburn and Opelika area and helping patients achieve a better quality of life.
Outside of his practice, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two children, watching Auburn sports, and playing golf.
