Thoughtful caring professional. Sense of humor and always takes my concerns seriously

Dr Hillier has been nothing but professional, thorough and available when needed. She has thus far been the only physician that has been there and listed to be and my needs. She has never made me feel rushed or not important. Lucky to have found her a couple years ago. read more

Dr. Linda Hillier has been my primary care physician for several years. She is very knowledgeable and listens with respect to my health concerns and challenges. Her staff is professional and I've always been able to get appointments in a timely fashion. Highly recommend. read more

Find another doctor. Did not address symptoms of brain tumor except by writing prescriptions for headache pain and upset stomach. Did not return call for request of a MRI for my head on a Wednesday because of worsening symptoms. Went to ER on Friday at urging from family and friends and had tumor removed on a Tuesday. Never heard from her. read more

Dr. Hillier is the best, she is straightforward and no nonsense but truly cares about her patient. After reading the other reviews I do have to say that the very first time I saw her I thought she might be a little distant but there was something about her I liked. I took responsibility for that interaction because I may have been too sensitive. She's a Dr. not a greeter at Target. She listened, she asked questions. We never know what someone's day is looking like and I gave that to her on my first visit. Maybe she was having a bad day? WE DON'T KNOW what people are going through. I gave her another shot and went back. It was much better the next time and I have not had a problem since. She has been thorough, thoughtful and considerate. She does not push unnecessary drugs/shots treatments if she can see that I'm more conservative about taking anything more than I need to. She/the office respond quickly when there has been a referral needed. The office staff has also been super helpful and very nice when I have interacted with them for anything. read more

Dr Hillier is always available for emergencies, effective, responsive and very clear in her recommendations. I like her no nonsense style. She doesn't dwell on warm and fuzzy but she's super pragmatic, friendly, supportive and to the point. She volunteers suggestions on lifestyle and natural options if asked. I feel like I'm having a normal, trustworthy conversation with somebody interested in my well-being, and I very much appreciate that. read more

Dr Hillier has turned most of her patients over to a PA. It is very hard to speak with any physician on the phone. Any questions must be relayed. It is a very slow process. L read more

Dr. Linda Hillier does not take any time to learn about her patients. Both of my daughters and I had very negative experiences with our Annual Physical Exams with her. She never took an adequate medical history or took any interest in exploring how we were feeling or if we had any questions about our health. On two separate occasions we had to call her to get our lab results and only then did we learn of abnormalities in our lab work. My one daughter has a significant history of kidney issues and Dr. Hillier sat on a positive UTI result for a week and didn't prescribe antibiotics until after we called her to find out results of our lab work. Very irresponsible on her part and dangerous to our daughter who has a compromised kidney that shouldn't be neglected. Do not recommend her. Horrible bedside manner and not easy to talk to. Very dismissive, distant, and cold. read more

If you are not onboard with unnecessary statin drugs that have a long list of negative side effects including diabetes, then don't go to her. My first (and last) appointment with her only lasted two minutes. When I told her that I won't take statin drugs and asked if there were any natural alternatives she could suggest, she ended the meeting saying that we were not on the same page. What really concerns me is that she wasn't open to hearing my reasoning. I didn't even finish telling her that when I had my heart attach 31 years ago, my cholesterol was alarmingly low because I was on what was then the popular low fat and high carb diet and that after my surgery, and still today, I eat four eggs fried in ghee daily and eat red grass fed beef at least four times a week. So at 62, if I made it without statins for 31 years, I am not gonna start now. I'd rather die naturally than take statin drugs and risk bringing on diabetes. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Hillier for the last 3 years. Each experience I've grown to dislike her. My in-laws see Dr. Pachorek but he unfortunately is not accepting new patients. I've worked with doctors before & im never opposed to seeing the associate of the practice. Even with the negative reviews I gave her the benefit of the doubt. Most recently I made an apptment to see if I might have ADHD due to my lack of attention etc. she was very dismissive, made a comment saying "maybe what you're studying is boring" sent me off to get blood work done and to see a specialist. If you want a doctor who lacks compassion or just information in general about your mental health go to her! read more

Dr. Hillier is great! It's easy to get an appointment with her and she's prompt. I went there last week and barely sat down before they called me in. She has a pleasant and professional demeanor and I like that she's honest and to the point. I don't like spending hours at the doctors office and I have a busy schedule, so often times if I have a bad cold or something that's bothering me, I avoid going to the doctor because of the time commitment. That's not the case with Dr. H. I was in and out with the office visit and lab tests within 30 mins and the front desk staff are kind and easy to deal with. This has been my experience each time I've seen her and I think she's very skilled and intuitive. Thanks Dr. Hillier! read more

Dr Hillier office is not about greed grant it, I had the similar thing happen recently but I know that they are not purposely trying to rip you off. If the insurance is not covered they will have you talk to the biller about a self pay rate. I did not pay the amount you mention reviewer (that didn't see the md.) Here is what happens, when obamacare came out some of the plans fall under the California coverage or exchange which means the same. I went directly to the insurance to purchase the insurance but on the website it doesn't say "California coverage" but it is the same type that you buy when you go on the obamacare, yikes now you are under obamacare under the plan exchange. Yes it happened and I sucks for a year until I get out of this coverage. So the California coverage buys from your insurance and you just picked the same "platinum" plan. Trust me I called and spoke to different people from the insurance benefit. One was able to explain the others well you know how it goes. So before you believe all the trash remember there is two sides of the paper. Dr hillier is not greed and they are not ripping you off. My bill came to me after I was self pay because they don't contracted with my plan (Obamacare), it was not what I expected but when I called the biller to clarify with what I was told they apologized for making the error and corrected it (they did call me back after they checked with the md office). I see Dr Hillier from time to time. Depending on who is available based on my schedule. read more

I hate to be the person writing a complaining yelp review, but after my experience with Doctor Hillier, I have no problem being that person. I hope to save other potential patients time, energy and money. I am young and looking for a new general doctor, someone who takes the time and shows effort in taking care of their patients. Let me walk you through my appointment. I waited in the exam room (not waiting room) for over 45 minutes and when Doctor Hillier came in the room, she didn't even introduce herself to me, or give me a chance for me to introduce myself, or explain any of my own medical concerns. She just sat down and started asking me about what known medical conditions I have and typing. When I told her I had generalized anxiety disorder, she was pretty dismissive. In the world we live in today, mental health is a serious problem and if you're still dismissing it, do some research. Doctor Hillier showed no care or interest in my mental health background (which plays a HUGE role in my health). After that, she gave me the QUICKEST physical I have ever experienced. She took maybe 2.5 seconds to do my breast exam and gave me attitude when I asked her if everything felt normal. When she went to check my nose and mouth, without asking, she took two fingers and yanked my face mask off my face. Regardless of politics, it is rude and disrespectful to pull anything off of anybody's body without asking for permission. I would expect a doctor that has been practicing for fourteen years, to be much more professional than that. Patients at-least deserve for you to tell them that you are going to pull down their mask or pull up their shirt. And by the way I'm not an idiot, I knew that my mask was going to come off during the appointment, but expected professionalism and not downright disrespect. She took maybe 7 minutes max to run my physical and then sent me off to get blood work done and get a urine sample. Not even sure why, she didn't tell me what the blood work was for or that I was even getting a urine sample in the first place! Shit's expensive, I want to know what I am paying for. I wasted my time, energy, money and blood! I suggest you don't do the same. read more

My doctor abruptly closed his practice and upon the recommendation of a friend called Dr. Hillier's office. Wow, am I happy I did. They were able to give me an appointment right away, insurance a breeze, and she is just a lovely person. Really took the time to get to know me and listened to my concerns. The staff is A+ as well. read more

I've seen Dr. Hillier for about 2-3yrs as my primary care and there was always something uncomfortable about her treatment. Trying to be positive I blindly doubted my gut, that this was not the doctor for me. The location was very clean and organized. That's not exactly the whole reason why I go see a doctor though. A doctor is someone I'm hoping I can trust to care for me as a human. My last attempt at giving Dr. Hillier a shot showed me exactly what I needed. I came in and told her my symptoms she immediately jumped in and said "this is a UTI I'm sure, I'll send the medications out to your pharmacy and so you can feel comfortable we will do a urine test". When I gave the urine test to the nurse I asked her when I would know my results by and she confidently responded that I would know by the next day for sure. Unfortunately a whole week passed and I called the office many times and the staff would just say Linda Hillier hasn't had time to open my files and there's files ahead of mine and I will have to just wait. Unfortunately 2 weeks pass and I'm in so much pain with blood in my urine now. I call the office and tell them my symptoms are worse and I'm scared, they again just tell me Linda Hillier hasn't opened my files yet. I rush to an urgent care and the doctors are upset over the treatment of Linda Hillier and they call her office and ask them to fax the files Dr. Hillier is too busy to open. The urgent care doctors read that it is a UTI and that the medication Linda Hillier gave me would do nothing to the bacteria I had. So I had been on medication that was useless to my condition and Linda Hillier had no urgency to check. The care of the urgent care doctors and the disappointment I saw in their reactions from Linda Hillier treatment and office taught me that I should've never doubted my gut. Linda hillier is a cold hearted doctor that seemed bothered every time I would come in for an appointment. Still hoping there would be a positive ending to this I was waiting to see if the staff or Dr. Hillier would call me and apologize for the lack of care and that never happened. I went on to now having a bloody painful uti for a total of 3 weeks under antibiotics and hoping now that I don't suffer a yeast infection. I'm glad to now be in a new primary care with an amazing that's sensitive and empathetic to me as their patient and that reminds me nothing of the coldness of Linda Hillier. read more

I've been going to Linda Hiller Dr for the last 15 years she's become involved in politics and discusses politics with the customers instead of their health needs she says like we're slipping into Socialism why can't you just be happy to be in America etc. I'm like well I didn't say anything I'm here to test my blood for some problems I have she said do you want unnecessary test I'm like oh my god this lady wants to argue she's lost her touch I will never go back to her she's interested not in the health of her patients she just wants to make a quick suggestion and move onto the next patient sorry she's gone downhill I can't recommend her do you have to be careful with your your health and when you're paying good money for insurance like I am my PPO plan is 1500 a month I want to get my checked out she just wants to do the basic check up once a year she's not interested in helping since I stopped going to her I've had more results with other doctor now explaining my situation it was a good thing to get out of her control she's interested in saving money for the insuranceCareful think about everything she's changed a lot I'm not interested in arguing with her I can't go back there never read more

All I can say about her is she is an amazing Doctor - words can't describe the care she provides!

I picked Dr. Hillier because of a referral from Huntington Hospital staff member. I also checked her background and not only is she board certified in internal medicine (abms.org), but she renews her certification (not all do). The times I have seen her, she has been very easy to relate to and grasps the situation quickly while asking questions and listening. She is collaborative and enlisted me in taking steps to resolve the problem. She asked me about specific meds she recommended and advised certain exercises (and gave me a hand out). I liked that she tries first-level treatments before going into more complex dx and tx. She is efficient and prepared forms to refer me for regularly scheduled procedures as well as taking care of my current issue. I was able to snag a cancellation & got to see her right away this time. The staff is pleasant and professional. Conveniently, the lab is next door, and the staff calls with lab results. Close to Gold Line Fillmore stop & parking often available on the street. read more

I am 72 years old and have been a diabetic for nearly 40 years, hence I have seen many doctors. Linda is very professional and cuts to the chase regarding health issues. If you need to lose weight--she will get on your case until you do. If you need to see a specialist, she will find you one. Her staff is terrific regarding cooperating with my pharmacy if I need a refill. The most I have ever waited in he office was 10 minutes. I don't need or want a "touchy-feely" doctor that blows hot air my way----Linda's direct, no nonsense approach is one of the reasons I like her. If a person needs hugging, see a shrink! read more

I've been a patient of Dr Hillier for 5 years +. She's patient, listens, and has been a great physician for me. I've recently moved away and it will be hard to find as good of a replacement. read more

I have been going to Dr. Hillier for 15 years. I had gone to Dr. Pachoreck before Dr Hillier came to his office. I like the way she listens. She does not jump to the Rx pad with some quick fix, but listens and helps me get better. I have been going to this group since Dr. Pachoreck opened his practice. No insurance problems. I would hate to see doctors blamed for insurance issues. read more

Horrible bedside manner, like I left feeling offended bedside manner. That being said, her staff is great, this doctor is VERY clinical so don't expect any hand holding or fuzzies. I have not been back to see her since, she ignored me telling her about my medical history and focused on why I was "overweight", mind you I am a size 8 at most. read more

I have been her patient for 11 years and I went in today for a bad cut on my finger. She put steri strips on it and wrapped in gauze. The visit was about 7 minutes. She has made thousands of dollars on me over the years and today she refused to give me a few cheap, very cheap, steri strips for later use. She actually told the receptionist to tell me to buy them at the pharmacy. I proceeded to laugh and tell the entire lobby of clients exactly what happened to me because I was flabbergasted by the pettiness and coldness of it all. She can't give me a few cheap strips after the money she has made on me? This is not about me not being able to buy strips, it's the principle of the entire situation. So weird and unexpected. Her flippant refusal opened my eyes to the kind of doctor and person she is. I'm sad because I liked her just fine before. I never have thought she was a great doctor but it was convenient and I did like her personally, until today. Steer clear. read more

I saw Dr. Hillier for the first time today for a pre-op clearance. She was punctual and I was in and out of office in less than 40 minutes including lab and EKG. She was knowledgeable and professional with an excellent bedside manner. The office takes my insurance and the staff are helpful and pleasant. I would definitely recommend Dr. Hillier. read more

Dr. Hillier is a terrific doctor. She maximizes the time she is with you -- focused on hearing what you say and what you don't say. She is professional, practical, polite and friendly. She makes the stress of going to see a doctor so easy. Her office handles all the paperwork efficiently and completely. I have never had an issue in the many years I've been her patient. In one instance, Dr. Hillier's extra attention was very evident. I went in for some pre-operation tests at the local hospital for an operation being done by a specialist. The hospital asked if I wanted the test results to be sent to my primary care physician -- I figured, why not. So I gave them Dr. Hillier's information. This was on a Friday, and surgery was scheduled for early Tuesday morning. Early Monday morning, I received a call from Dr. Hillier --- she received the results via email over the weekend and she reviewed them! Before my specialist had even seen the data, Dr. Hillier was already on the phone, forbidding me to have surgery because of the alarming results. I hadn't even told her about the surgery, and here she was in action. This is what being a doctor is about --- acting on behalf of my health. For that, she will always have my loyalty and gratitude. All the negative reviewers can try to blame the doctor for their own issues with insurance, waiting time, whatever. There are so many new rules and complications when it comes to health insurance these days, and I don't think we should be blaming the doctors for it. I am lucky to have insurance coverage, and I am lucky to be able to see a doctor who cares. read more

I love this doctor. She's on time, thorough and chill. She's low-key, not disinterested. Nice office. Great staff.

After being my primary care physician for over 6 years, and seeing me once a year for checkups, Dr. Hillier failed me terribly. I had never been sick, and when I came in with leg pain, she dismissed it. A month later, when I had uncontrollable fevers, she dismissed it again. (When I kept calling her office because I could not control the fever, I was told "Take cold showers!") I ended up in the ER and then the hospital for 6 days with multiple IVs and killer antibiotics due to a very serious leg infection that got that serious because nobody at that office would take me seriously. The hospital called her office when I was checked in, on day 1, to let her know, yet in all that time, and since, she never stopped by, called, left a message, or ever followed up. That's heartless and unprofessional. She's definitely not my doctor any more. read more

Always hilarious to see following reviews (LT) attempting to deny previous reviewers, balance the rating of a business and impose their theories, all meanwhile ironically quoting the word "trash". Even if I were to take you for an unbiased authentic patient and not someone who is affiliated with the doctor, which I see improbable, obviously my experience differs from yours (if you were honest at all). Had they called back to at least apologize for the "error", as you would like the public to believe it was, and for the trouble they made me go through, I would've given their intentions the benefit of the doubt. Obviously, that wasn't a proper way to treat a patient. So keep your experiences to yourselves and let others speak for themselves. read more

I've been going to Dr. Hillier for four years now. She is by far the BEST PCP I've ever had. I never feel that I'm rushed out of there, and she always sits down and has a conversation with you about what is going on. I HIGHLY recommend her!!! read more

I've been going to Dr. Hillier for several years. She's patient, thorough, and always takes the time to listen to everything you have to say. She asks thoughtful questions, and provides several options for whatever treatment you may need. When I have needed a referral, the physicians she has recommended have always been good. I've never had to wait a long time to get an appointment, and I've never had to sit in the waiting room past my scheduled appointment time. read more

A few months ago I was having serious issues and when I called the doctors office and explained in depth my symptoms, they said they'd call me back. The voicemail said "it's been a year since we've seen you call to make an appt" that was it..so okay maybe my messages wasn't relayed as I had explained so thoroughly. I call back and ask why my situation was taken so lightly and the front office girl says "well you haven't actually fainted or passed out right" with the most disgusting attitude. I scheduled and saw the doctor. She asked if I had anxiety or stress I said no. She said "well it looks like you do to me" I said well yes because this is a stressful situation and the only stress I have is from this. I got bloodwork done and had a copy faxed to my work. When I didn't get a call from dr hillier I called them. I asked the front desk she says, with that attitude of course, when we get bloodwork we call. I said I have a copy so shouldn't you? She checked, they did receive it. The Doctor said bloodwork results will let us know what is causing my horrific symptoms. The dr left me a voicemail and said, saw your results everything came back fine call if you need anything else..so that's it? I'm still having episodes where I'm driving or working and suddenly almost fainting or passing out with no warning. So I called back I said so now that the bloodwork is totally fine what is the next step? That didn't solve the problem..in the midst of all of this I haven't had an ACTUAL conversation with the doctor. Just back forth messages. She says I am stressed out and need to see a therapist. And that was that. I was sent a bill for $300 for that visit..They are the most uncaring office and I would advise going else where if you need anything more the just an annual physical. read more
