The Doctor was pleasant and very informative. Overall things went very well. there were many pre op appts but I understand that they were for my own benefits. I recommend this office . read more

This guy is a total hack and is not at all qualified to do knees or hips. He left one leg 1.5" shorter than the other after a hip replacement then refused to see me. he screwed up both my knees. He may be the only game in Humboldt but go to Redding or Medford or SF, it's worth the trip. Plus he has the personality of a banana slug. read more

My initial interaction with William Kilgore, MD was very unpleasant Waited 3 months in pain wait for an appointment when the diagnosis would have 10 min The appointment it self was unpleasant. I sat in the waiting room an hour. They took me a room and weighed me. They had a device to measure my height but did not measure it. They asked and I replied 6 ft. I don't really know my height. I used to be 6' 1.5" however I have 2 spinal surgery as well the general shortening that comes with age. I am actually curious about what my height really is. They me put special paper shorts so the doctor could examine my knees. I then I sat in the room in my paper shorts for what seemed to me a long time. Finally Lance Rivas P.A.-C a member of "Teem Kilgore" came in to the room and told me that a complete knee replacement on both knees. This did not surprise me in the least. I, as well as professionals took 1 look at the x-ray and report said that I needed a complete knee replacements in both knees. Lance went on to tell me that my BMI was too high and that I need to lose 20 lbs in 3 months. I had suspected would have to lose weight and was pleased that the amount was so small. In order to make that diagnosis they had to see the x-rays of my knees, my weight, and my height (remember that they did not measure my height) They got the x-rays on July 19, weight and height were available from my primary care physician who had measured them numerous times. They made their diagnosis base on 1 picture and 2 numbers. All of this information was avail to them in July. Why did I have to wait 3 months in severe knee pain when it would taken 10 minutes to interpret the data. I could have spent those months loosing weight and the surgery could have been around the time I had face-to-face appointment. I can't comment on the skill of surgeons. However, treating my time in pain as completely unimportant speaks very badly of "Team Kilgore." read more
