Gilot Gregory J MD

I was discharged in crucial pain after arthroscopic knee surgery. Pain pills weren’t working.
There was no doctor Gilot, no pain management doctors in post- operating room for 2 hours, only nurses. In 3 hours I was back in emergency room. Operation was suppose to last for 1 hour, I was there from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. , and back in 9p.m. Dr. Gilot didn’t explain what happened in the operating room or what he had done for my knee when I saw him in 2 days.
I don’t know how good he is as a surgeon, because I still can not walk.

We go to doctors for help. We expect that they will, at the very least, be professional and do the right thing for patients when they are in that examination room unsupervised. This guy has found the perfect place to hide his burn out. He is clever, condescending and rides the professional/unprofessional cusp like a real wise guy.

My first visit with him as quick. He looked at radiographic studies but never performed any physical exam.He referred me to a spine surgeon because of one of my complaints. The spine surgeon he sent me to asked why I was there. i explained that Gilot sent me. He said you don’t need spine surgery. So back to this guy I go. This time the story changes. In the second visit he performed a test that almost brought me to my knees and brought me to tears from the pain. Then his tune changed.. “You could have, it may be, there’s a 10% chance surgery might help, etc.. He placed lots of doubt in my decision making with no other options; PT, injection, etc.. then it became rapid fire, “so what do you want to do, what do want to do, what do you want to do” at everything I said or asked. I do not want surgery from him, that’s for sure. I can only imagine what he would be like in surgery.

He is right when he says in his video that he assesses the entire patient. I am very latin looking. I am in pain and not presenting very well. My arm does not work from the injury I sustained from a fall onto my shoulder, no doubt a triple crush. I have been in the medical profession for over 25 years. I have taught about mechanism of injury. i know the injuries that could be sustained from the type of fall I took. He solidified my thoughts about him when he said “bueno?” when I opted not to have surgery. I doubt he says “bueno” to all of his patients. I got “bueno” because i am latin. My last name and the way I look is latin. Disgust is all I feel for this guy. He is the type of doctor that keeps people from seeking help and gives medicine a bad name.

This isn’t the first “specialist” that I’ve encountered at Cleveland Clinic that presents as though they are burnt out. I could be wrong. It could just be plain old racism. I don’t care what it is, it is wrong.

I have reached out to the ombudsman’s for 2 other doctors. Their job is to justify their doctors bad actions and protect the hospital. so it is a waste of time.

Not all of the doctors in Cleveland clinic are like this guy. There are many who are great. It is guys like this that ruin it for the rest. Not good (bueno), Gilot. Sometimes you need to hear and listen to people and not judge them by the way they look. That tunnel vision is bad in medicine…

Got ahead of myself and arrived an hour and 30 minutes before my appointment. The receptionist said I should check in anyway, they might still see me. Lo and behold, they called me in before I finished paying my bill. Was seen by an AT and then Dr. Gilot. The doctor was pleasant and attentive. Im out of here in 30 minutes. Great job Cleveland Clinic!

Dr. Gilot is not interested in th patient’s problem. He is sending his assistant and spend only 30 seconds with me. Result of 2 visits was Zero for my health but the cost of my insurance company a ton of money. I strongly advise not to go to this doctor with their problems.

Tell Dr Gilot that the cortizone shot helped alot first full night sleep in months
