Decatur Physicians for Women

Dr. Gilliam is and excellent doctor, She is the only reason I would travel 45 minutes to see a doctor. One of her receptionists, however, is not receptive to patients who need to reschedule. She was unprofessional and rescheduled me for an appointment 6 weeks away. Passive aggressive? Yes. I spoke to Dr. Gilliam's nurse, explained the problem I was having, and she scheduled me to see Dr. Gilliam the next day.

 What really bothered me was I overheard Dr. Gilliam, outside my exam room door say:  "Why doesn't she go back to Decatur to be treated there?" During the exam she "strongly" encouraged me to see another doctor in Decatur. Said she'd be happy to see me but, on the other hand, she also gave me the impression she did not want to treat me anymore.

So, basically, if you want to stay on with an excellent doctor, don't complain about the appointment staff. Or anyone for that matter. You will kindly be dismissed.

Dr. Gilliam was very attentive to my daughter's needs.

The wait time is never over 30 minutes unless Dr. Hoffman is called to deliver a baby.  That has happened to me once in my years of seeing her.  She does her best to stay on track and give attention to all patients.  I went in with a pain complaint and she had an ultrasound done to check.  She is not one to wait and see what a problem is...she tries to figure it out quickly and that eases my mind.

Dr. Hill did not even perform a physical examination during my first post-partum visit, even after having an episiotomy.

She is very personable and she listens to what I have to say. She really tries to help her patients. She doesn’t put herself up on the pedestal just so she is a doctor, she is a woman first. She has a really good bedside manner and she is very thorough. I had Boston Hicks contractions and had a real troubled pregnancy. I had a lot of health issues like kidney stones and things like that when I was in labor and I was actually dying. It was a trying time for my husband and his family but she remained positive and she was awesome. I would rate her highly in all aspects.

I am so happy I chose Dr. Gilliam as my Ob for this baby.
