I was to check in at 9:50 for X-rays and did not happen, waited longer and then went in the room where she took all of her information and we waited longer and Dr Kilgore came in meet me and asked who are you replied my wife, he had a x ray in his hand that was three months old (not a new one) he then said that there was nothing wrong with my knee, said to go to PT, knee still hurts and I'll be going back to my PCP for future action I feel I was taking up his time
Providence Patient
All good
Providence Patient
He was very thorough and was very concerned for my health and explained how the pain I am experiencing is not so much my hips but my back and what I need to do to see a back specialist. He was also very worried about the staghorn calculi in my left kidney and wanted to make sure I was treating soon. I assured him I had a urology appt in 2 days.

My entire experience was good. The only slightly negative thing was the wait time. But when you are seeing a Dr that is thorough that sometime happens. I am very pleased with my experience.
Providence Patient
Dr. Kilgore has built an excellent team to provide a seamless experience in his joint replacement practice. Communication with the patient, me, was paramount. From the time I entered the pre-op area in the morning til my release after recovery that afternoon I felt confident and secure because of how each segment of the team worked together to offer me the best opportunity for a successful hip replacement.I am impressed with the level of caring personal attention I received from preparation appointments to follow up physical therapist visit after surgery.
Providence Patient
The wait time was long but the provider was thorough and gave me good attention and information. The care provider and staff were all pleasant.

Providence Patient
I saw Kilgore a few times but I've seeing Dr. Lance. I told Dr. Lance that I might need a hip, my neighbor told me about the symptoms I'm going thru. I was told that Dr. Kilgore was to give me an x-ray on a blood cot in my right leg but he only wanted my right knee x-rayed and they did! I'm still taking my blood thinners to erase this blood cot and now I still want a second opinion of this blood cot but in the Emergency room they said I didn't have it and Dr. Lance the same but a second opinion is what I want! I love the doctors work, I'm grateful!
Providence Patient

Providence Patient
They did a great job.

X-rays were taken of my hip last fall (11/2024). They should be in my chart. I would like to know what was viewed then - and determine if the problem identified by Dr K was in the X-rays from earlier.
Providence Patient
De. Kilgore and his entire staff is awesome!
Providence Patient
I injured my knee in November, 2024 and was referred to Dr Kilgore for orthopedic follow up. I could not get an appointment with Dr. Kilgore until June of 2025. Over 6 months is a long time to wait when one is in pain. Dr. Kilgore was helpful and informative.

I just wish the doctor would have wanted to see the extent of my symptoms by ordering an MRI and wanting to help ease some of my pain until I see other doctors for different symptoms
Providence Patient
Very comprehensive care
Providence Patient
Excellent physician!
Providence Patient
Regarding the time of x-ray done, three were done on my left knee just before the appointment with the doctor. The appointment visit went well with doctor.

Providence Patient
Unpersonable..did not even introduce himself....we had to ask who he was...he said my bones had healed and his operation was a success...he had the exray copy and he did give it to me when I asked for it...but I've been told by others that this is the way this profession.is..not interested in ANYTHING else ....i traveled over a hundred miles over CROOKED roads...car sick all the way there after taking pills as well as patches and the doc. Didn't even as how I was.... I feel I could have had the exrays here in Brookings with just a phone consulation if they had any consideration for an old lady in her [Date of Birth] .....coming all that distance....

Providence Patient
I needed information on the cause of my long lasting Intense pain and knee swelling, and was hoping for some sort of pain relief. Instead, I was given a 3 month follow up appointment. I've since Requested a consult out of the county. Dr. Kilgore was polite and sympathetic and told me he saw no problem with the device he implanted 10 or so years ago.
Providence Patient
Very good
Providence Patient
I had to wait over 30 minutes to be brought to a exam room. Once in the exam room I waited 40 minutes until the Dr came in . After all my wasted time they scheduled an X-ray in 8 to 10 weeks. All my records were there the Dr admitted my previous X-rays were too old but wouldn't X-ray that day or give me a knee shot. Seems they are going to stretch it out for months.
Providence Patient
Provider was very short in words
Providence Patient
Very clear explanations, good suggestions and how to contact the office If I have any follow up questions or needs.
