Oliver D Gilliam's Online Review Report Card

Dr Gilliam is a kind and understanding man, and he is also a fantastic doctor. he has helped me with my gastro issues for the last 12+ years. It has been my good fortune to have met Dr Gilliam.

My experience is similar to his other low star reviewers. His mind were clearly made up in the appointment, and we talked more about his retirement thanks to my mom trying to put him in a better mood. Didn’t care about my previous chronic and severe gallbladder condition, or my notable family history. He wrote “angry and unpleasant” in my notes. When I told my mother, she was shocked because she only saw me as in pain but focused. Why would anyone be happy and jolly while experiencing pain and discussing serious medical history. As a younger woman I refuse to change who I am to satisfy a Doctors Ego.

The office staff, nurses and techs are amazing at this office. They reflect the integrity, professionalism and caring that Dr. Gilliam gives to his patients.

Never have pain during colonoscopy like I had with a previous one.

I came for a visit today as my symptoms had gotten much worse recently. My last visit was in Jan 2018. Dr. Gilliam told me I had gained an "excessive" amount of weight over two years (15 lb weight gain) and that all of my issues were likely weight related. When I reiterated that I had these symptoms two years ago before I gained weight, he refused to listen or consider other causes. For reference, I'm 5'5" female, 165 lb, a size 6 in clothes. I am not obese by any stretch of the imagination and there is no medical reason my weight would be causing issues. He then proceed to spend the rest of my visit fat shaming me and denying my symptoms. He went so far as to ask me if I was sure that the gallbladder I had removed 8 years ago had actually been diseased. I have never experienced a more unprofessional provider. I would not recommend this provider for any reason, particularly not if you have previous issues with food restrictions or weight management.

He ruined my life. He ruptured my colon, AFTER a scooter was done showing clearly almost no healthy tissue. He decided to do a biopsy. I was left septic for over 24 hours and treated like a full on drug addict after already having been in excruciating pain which went unchecked for more than a week prior due to the negligence of him and his nurse. He took the best years of my life from me. Treated me with zero abs I do mean zero care or compassion. He is a cold blooded money hungry fool. May god have mercy on his soul. Nobody has ever treated me so poorly in a medical setting in my life. I can only hope he doesn’t fall ill and recover the same “care” I was shown.

He's retired on the job. After the colonoscopy, I still had diarrhea for 9 days. Then severe diverticulitis. I called and called their on call # listed and the handout sheet given after colonoscopy . I left messages no call back in six hours . I lateo r called the answering service and they said he was not one of their clients! While still in the hospital I again called their office . Their statement was ha ha the doctor on call had a defective beeper. There is more but this was the most egregious

The comments under the bad ratings echo what I have found. I was hospitalized with diverticulitis Post colonoscopy I need numerous attempts to reach their on-call physician and had to go to emergency room. In six hours I received no call back. Whether it's his staff or him , there was no concern over my hospitalization nor their neglect for an on-call physician.

He's retired while still on the job. Whether it's him or his staff, they did not have an on call person when I had an emergency hospitalization post colonoscopy. There never was any concern, no response, nada. I've trusted him for 25 years... Never ever again. There's a lot more but this lack of responsiveness is callous, frightening

Dr. Gilliam is exceptional. He has outstanding skills as well as being kind and approachable. Both my husband and I have gone to him for several years. We know a number of physicians that go to him for care which tells you a lot. We trust him completely.
