I have trusted only Dr. Gillon with my hands for many years. I underwent thumb reconstitutions on both hands and have been completely blessed to still work as an artist because of him and his team. Incredible surgeon, knowledgeable and personable. I can not recommend him enough and will not let anyone else near my hands.

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.

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.
