Philosophy of Care I believe that the essence of medicine is caring for people. The doctor-patient relationship is a privilege to be respected and nurtured by the physician. I practice medicine in a considerate, patient-oriented manner and advocate on behalf of my patients, despite the limits of managed care.
Hobbies When I am not working, I enjoy playing the guitar, throwing par on the local Frisbee/disc golf course, playing with my two Cavalier Spaniels, digital photography and attending live theater.

I came in to have my ears checked for wax before having a hearing test. Since that took very little time, and I was due to have my annual physical the next week, Dr. Gilbert asked if I would prefer to have it then to save me a trip back the next week. I really appreciated that.

Dr Gilbert is an excellent doctor. He's very knowledgeable, he listens to all my concerns and has answered them. He has a great bedside manner, and I trust him completely.
