Dr. Gillespie takes the time to thoroughly explain test results and what they mean in relation to my glaucoma.
Outstanding professional! Skilled specialist!
I had every confidence in Dr. Gillespie, he resolved the problem with my eye after cataract surgery.
Very attentive and understanding. I was very comfortable with him and his explanation of my diagnosis.
