Patient Reviews: Dr. Paramjeet Gill

“I have had both my knees replaced by Doctor Gill. I want to thank him and his staff for all of the excellent care I received.”

“I had a total knee replacement. Dr. Gill and his staff did an excellent job from pre-op through the surgery and the post-op followup. Everyone was courteous, helpful, and compitent in their fields. It made the overall experience worry free.”

“Thankful every time I walk, play golf, or ride my bike. Both knees done over a year ago and feel great! I'm 78 and occasionally shoot my age and walk up to five miles per day. I was able to resume all activities within a month after the procedures. Thanks to all at Sierra Pacific Orthopedics.”

“Best thing I ever did was to get both of my hips replaced. I was in so much pain I could not take a step without gritting my teeth. I had a quick recovery and rode in a 30 bicycle ride 3 months later. I am now doing Search and Rescue. No problems!”

“It was great.”

“So very thankful to have Dr. Gill and all of his staff treating my chronic pain. At every visit, I'm treated as though I'm their only patient! I know that patient's are their number one concern. I do appreciate all of the up-to-date, state-of-the-art equipment that is available at Dr. Gill's facility. One stop shopping, if you will.”

“He was very thorough, I used him as my 2nd opinion and feel like I could trust his information way more than my first doctor.”

“Excellent visit. Friendly staff.”

“I think that really good physicians are good because they have knowledge, experience, and are surrounded by very good people. Dr. Gill has all of the above, and it is a testament to him to have selected the people around him that are thorough, friendly, and absolutely professional. I have always felt nothing could compare to Stanford Medical Center, but Sierra Pacific Orthopedics is right there. I have great comfort and confidence in being treated there.”

“New knee. New life. What a world. Thanks for everything.”

“Both of my hips deteriorated over a year and a half, to the point where I was using two canes to get around, taking hydrocodone a couple of times a day to manage the pain, and my movement was very limited, planning every trip out of the chair to get as many things done as I could before returning. I finally decided "Enough!" and contacted Dr. Gill for an exam and recommendation. Not surprisingly, he advised that both hip joints were destroyed, and that we should schedule replacements as soon as possible. We discussed the surgery and took the time to ensure all of my questions were answered.   In December 2012 and in April 2013, he replaced the right then left hip joints. In both cases, the recovery was nearly identical, in that I experienced aching discomfort for the first week, with the worst being after the second or third days, with pain at level 7ish, but thankfully intermittent, managed with pain meds, and short lived. In both cases, after 2 1/2 weeks' recovery, I was driving my stick shift car, walking walk up and down stairs, and was back at work. After about six months, I had forgotten about the replacement joints, and more than once have forgotten about the replacements and inadvertently triggered airport metal detectors. I also have stopped taking pain meds unless I have a particularly exerting day, when I will take a couple of Ibuprofen. My mobility is 95% of what I had before, with only an occasional twinge if I extend too far, or move the joint the wrong way, and an occiasional minor dull ache after walking over five miles nonstop or playing a round of golf (partly due to basic conditioning). As a result of the surgery, I have become an evangelist for replacement surgery. I advise anyone who will listen that "If you reach for the cane, or start taking pain killers, schedule the surgery... It WON'T get any better." Having the replacement surgery was one of the best choices I ever made. I cannot even imagine what it would be like if I had chosen not to.”

“I would like to say that I am very very happy with all the staff and nurses. They're all friendly and helpful. Dr. Gill is very good and a very nice doctor. That's why I am referring a lot of my friends to go and see Dr. Gill for any surgery they might need.”

“I needed a new hip. I had my hip replaced on Dec. 9, 2013. After the operation, I hardly had to use any pain medicine. I used crutches for about 3 days, then a walker for about 4 days. I was walking on my own, pain free, after about a week. I didn't even need to go to therapy. I couldn't have had a more pleasant experience than that which I had with Dr. Gill. The after-operation was also top-notch. They took x-rays to make sure everything was okay, and they showed me the x-rays so I could see for myself. Thanks again, Sierra Pacific Orthopedics.”

“Dr. Gill is knowledgeable and talented and personable. He has a great reputation, and one knows why from the first meeting with him. He is focused and professional. The manual he provides his patients, authored by himself, is very informative and reassuring.”

“It has been a long haul, but with the help of Dr. Gill and physical therapy, I am able to function without pain after two knees surgeries. Most grateful for the skills of Dr. Gill, and my physical therapist.”

“From our first meeting, Dr. Gill has been superb in his Doctor-patient relations. He actually had the integrity to tell me in our first visit that it was not necessary to have an operation at that time. He wasn't searching for money, he was looking out for my best health.  About two years later, I thought it was time for an operation and he agreed. From that point on the pre-operation and operations procedures were very professional and always looking out for my best health and understanding. I am so very grateful that he was my Doctor: I had full confidence in him. I am on Medicare, yet he treated me in the best manner possible manner.  My wife and I had plans for a trip abroad some seven weeks after the operation and he even took the time to write me a personal letter so I could avoid standing in long lines at the airport. I was grateful, indeed, when I didn't have to stand for extended times as was the general experience in airports this summer. Standing for long times was the most painful part of recuperation.  Now months later, I catch myself walking normal, without the pain I lived with for many years and like I had walked prior to my knee problems that started some six or seven years ago.  I am very grateful for Doctor Gill and his caring and attentive staff. In the office, in the hospital I was treated with the utmost amiability and care that would be hard to match in large metropolises.  Thank you very much Dr. Gill and assistants and staff.”

“Dr. Gill performed a total right knee replacement in August 2015. I am very pleased with the outcome and today I would never know I had the procedure. He is an excellent surgeon and I recommend him very highly.  As a patient, one needs to follow his instructions completely and the recovery will be a breeze. If needed, I would have the procedure again knowing I am in excellent hands.”

“Thought I needed back surgery but it turned out to be my left hip that needed to be replaced. Dr. Gill was great and did a fantastic job on the replacement. I think I have one more follow-up visit. I appreciate the expertise, caring and follow up on my surgery. Thanks to all!!”

“My original doctor was Dr. Malcolm Ghazal, an extremely gifted surgeon and caring individual. I am now being cared for by Dr. Paramjeet Gill who is also an excellent surgeon and one who cares about his patients. The doctors and staff at SPOC, including those in the rehabilitation area are second to none. We are extremely fortunate to have such a fine facility in our area. ”

“Dr. Gill was my doctor that replaced both my knees. One in Dec. and the other in May. Went much better than I had anticipated. Very kind and attentive doctor. Only spent one night in the hospital and I was good to go! I am very pleased with him and everyone that I encountered at SPOC.”

“Dr. Gill performed a total knee replacement just over a year ago. I am a 72-year-old man who had struggled with an increasing level of pain in my right knee. From my first interview with Dr. Gill and or his PA I was guided through this experience. My questions were answered in an understandable way. Options were presented along with their best medical advice. Over the years my condition continued to reduce my participation in those sports and activities that I have loved. Fortunately now I have been able to return to those activities...I credit Dr. Gill and his exceptional staff for enabling me to re-engage aspects of my life that had been dramatically diminished. I recommend their practice to anyone suffering from symptoms like mine. The physical therapy required after surgery was very painful, but my recovery has been 100% so it has been a worthwhile, if unpleasant, experience. Good luck.”

“Dr. Gill did a hip replacement for me. He is a great doctor and all of the medical staff, from the front desk to the exam are wonderful. I would not go any place else for Orthopedic problems. Dr. Glaser and his staff are also first class. He removed a cyst from my foot. God bless you all.”

“He and Elton did a great job.”

“I've taken so long to share my experiences with Dr. Gill because I have been busy doing my retirement part-time jobs and volunteer projects on my new knees that I haven't had time. I had the first of two total knee replacement surgeries from Dr. Gill. Before the surgery, my knees were becoming useless and painful due to extreme arthritis. I would be in a wheelchair or walker now if it wasn't for the fantastic job Dr. Gill and staff did on replacing my knees. The first one was so great that I scheduled the second one six months later. Each time I was only in the Fresno Surgical Hospital one night and home after lunch. I did the physical therapy in Auberry. I was worried about the surgery beforehand, it is a rather major surgery. It felt so much better just hours after the surgery that it was a miracle, I took very few pain pills. Thank you, Dr. Gill. ”
