Dr. Gillian is amazing! I got my lasik done with him. He was very informative and answered all myour questions and definitely made me feel better about going through with the surgery. For the after surgery follow ups, he was very thorough and he definitely puts you to ease. Overall, a great doctor and I am taking my dad for his cataract surgery to Dr. Gillian as well!
