    Came here recently when I had a bad fall in my home…read more I had to go to the urgent care first for them to send me here since they thought my elbow was broke. Dr. Gullion confirmed the break and said I had broken the head of my radial bone, and he scheduled me for the earliest appointment for surgery which I was happy about because I feared missing so much work due to my injury. I was scheduled 2 days after I was seen at Hand to Shoulder Center and was scheduled for their routine COVID19 test the next day. The day of the surgery I was sent to an ambulatory place but Dr. Gullion was the one doing the surgery, which made me more relaxed since it was him and not someone else I never met. He spoke to me beforehand and told me what to expect, he also told me what to expect after the surgery and said that I would need to get my stitches out 2 weeks after surgery and he would assist with that. I felt at ease, before I went in for the surgery. I was given medications and passed out within seconds... or so I think I honestly don't remember. But before I knew it which I was told was (2 1/2 hours) I was done. I went for my follow up to get stitches out at the 2 week mark, and during that time I guess my nerves got the best of me and I almost passed out, I started seeing dots. I told the staff and they had me lay down in another room. Dr. Gullion came in and grabbed a wet towel for my head and reassured me that it happens all the time to make me feel better since I was embarrassed I almost passed out. I then felt a little better and got my xrays done, where he showed me that the elbow was fixed, then again I got woozy looking at the screw in my arm and had to lay down again. After all that, I was sent over to the physical therapy part of the center and was scheduled to get myself back to my old self again. I am still in the healing process, but I am so happy that the surgery was a success and I am on track with recovering quickly- well that's what the physical therapist said.

    Happened years ago and just saw this review platform. I woke up during anesthesia, struggled with…read morethe surgery staff, my surgery was a failure leading to my retirement from a sometimes physical job, two pins came out of my wrist and a few moths laer a wire started coming out. I developed a MRSA infection and was hospitalized for several days on IV antibiotice and then had to take IV antibiotics from an at home nurse for a month. I will say, the provider who did this to me is no longer practicing, but I was seen by DR Gullion for after care and to take the wire out of my arm. He was a competant gentleman I enjoyed talking with, and he understood my frustration. At the time he was a newer physician and from the reviews it seems he is doing a great job. I also had a DR Green I believe her name is. She was honest about what happened to me and personable. I never filed a suit because I dont believe in that and he was related to my dear friend, but I lost my lifetime dream career and great paying job, and have huge scars to remind me of a basic operation that was botched, with permanent nerve damage, and lifetime pain to this day. AGAIN, this review is no reflection on DR's Green or Guillion.
