Dr. Gillon did surgery on my arthritic thumb and he did an excellent job. So thankful to have had him for my surgeon. All office visits were never rushed.

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.
