I do not know if y'all have competition with the doctors of how well they can treat their patients, but Dr. Gills been treating me for some time and I have no idea what was his problem, but he told me he was getting frustrated that he could not help me with my illnesses, and then on top of this, having been in chronic pain for some time, and he ends up telling me because I have an infection in my tooth, which is causing my body to be in lots of pain which is not true so he got upset and for a doctor to talk to a patient like that I don't get it, but I guarantee you when I do get this too pulled out in my pain. Do not go away. I will be showing proof me going to Dr. Gill's for some time should already be proof enough of my chronic pain. My infection in my tooth has nothing to do with it. He just does not want to help me. He does not want to help anymore. He didn't even wanna do the blood work or anything cause he goes well I guess there's just no reason to be doing any blood work how can you tell a patient that you tired frustrated that they can't help me with my illnesses He's there to help me to figure out what's going on now you wonder why people wanna go to a pain doctor get pain medicine and just end their damn life right who cares right who cares if I die it doesn't matter to him or you or anybody else this is very unprofessional very very unprofessional And if he gets away with treating me like this, it's a joke. The Clinic is a joke.

I came in and explain to him that I had been in discussion with my doctor about my high blood pressure. In that was the nature of my visit was that my doctor and I had been in discussion that I had to come in for a visit to be able to be on medication for high blood pressure because my blood pressure had been running high for several weeks. I have already had to rescheduled one appointment because my doctor had been out sick so I asked If was able to see any doctor available that day since my doctor had called out sick and I had already driven up there because l was very concerned about my blood pressure. I was just trying to get in to be sure to be able to get on medication. He checked my blood pressure not once but twice during the visit and it was high on both occasions and he still did not prescribe me any medication instead I was advised to monitor it for two more months. I honestly it's not very happy considering I've already been dealing with the high blood pressure for a brief period already. I just feel like that it was just very dangerous for him to have me go home and just monitor my blood pressure with it being high as it has been It was just very upsetting for me.
