At my visit today, Dr. Gillon and I figured out that he had previously treated me, when I needed surgery in 2019. I remember how confident I was that he would take good care of my wrist. He even took special attention to a tattoo that means alot to me. Dr
Gallon is the best!

Dr. Gillon earned his M.D. at Penn State Hershey College of Medicine, where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society. In addition, he was the recipient of the McGraw-Hill and Appleton & Lange Medical Student Award, and was a three-time award winner of the Dr. C. McCollister and Nancy Evarts Scholarship for “outstanding academic performance, a high level of professionalism, and a promising future in the field of medicine.”
During his Orthopaedic Residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital in Connecticut, Dr. Gillon’s interest in hand surgery blossomed under the tutelage of the late Dr. Joseph Slade III, a pioneer in wrist arthroscopy and minimally invasive hand & wrist surgery. Dr. Gillon returned to Philadelphia when he was selected for a Fellowship at Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.
