Zero stars if I could. Worst experience I’ve had with a medical office. The lack of communication and organization made the entire experience incredibly frustrating. Appointments routinely involved hour-long waits, with little to no communication about delays. I was given conflicting medication dosing instructions by the office staff and the doctor, which was concerning. At one point, the office switched pharmacy providers without notifying me, causing a delay in my medication shipment and forcing me to stop my medication abruptly. Billing was also inconsistent. The amount I was charged seemed to change from visit to visit, and I was told it was because they had “charged the wrong amount by accident” previously. In addition to paying for blood work, I was also charged just to review my lab results. What concerned me most was the level of disorganization. Before one of my appointments, I received a questionnaire call, yet there was no accurate record of the medications the doctor had prescribed me.

I have had many different treatments with Dr. Gill, and the results have always been amazing. She takes the time to make sure you are comfortable and that the treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs. She has a wonderful staff. Shout out to Lisa as she is always friendly, helpful, and ready to answer any questions or guide you through the process. If you’ve never had a HydraFacial, you’re missing out! It’s incredibly relaxing, and this is definitely the place to go. I highly recommend Dr. Gill and her team for anyone looking for excellent care and outstanding results.

I had the Forever Clear BBL laser treatment at Gill Aesthetic Institute and absolutely loved my results! The treatment has made a huge difference in my skin texture and acne scars. My skin looks smoother, clearer, and more even-toned than before. The staff was professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process!! Highly recommend!

Dr.Gill is perhaps one of the most knowledgeable, professional doctors in the community. She was extremely helpful and skilled. Her staff is incredibly kind and helpful, as well. I recommend anyone looking to receive treatment to go to her! You won't regret it!
