“I have been a patient of Dr. Gillespie’s for more than half a decade and she has literally helped to save my life. She is extremely caring and empathic, listens attentively, and collaborates with the patient to come up with a workable treatment plan. Patient continuity of care is very important to her. She is very easy to talk to and is receptive to feedback and ideas, all while being non-judgmental. Dr. G. is extremely intelligent and has almost two decades of experience in treating eating disorders, so I trust her recommendations fully. She is always ready to listen and offer support and advice, and she comes up with creative ways to make difficult appointments as comfortable as possible. I would never be where I am today without the support of Dr. G., and my family feels the same way because Dr. G.—with my permission--has always included them in my care. She takes her role as a physician very seriously and with the utmost sincerity. Dr. G. is not only my physician, but a mentor as well. I literally cannot imagine my life or road to recovery without her. She has essentially helped to give me my life back and I will forever be grateful to her.”

"Dr. G. has been nothing but professional, caring, and empathetic. She has a unique perspective into the care and treatment of her patients, and she has bridged the gap to include family involvement. The ability to reach out and connect regardless of place and time has been invaluable and comforting, and she has shown unwavering dedication to our daughter and our family. Above all, gaining patient trust while ensuring compliance has been invaluable for our family, and we will always be grateful to her for saving our daughter's life."

"Dr. G. and her office have been incredibly supportive throughout some of my most difficult times as a teenager. My family and I came in not knowing what it was like to battle an eating disorder, and she led us through it all step by step. I am incredibly grateful for her generosity, kindness, and understanding. I have found the attention that I received to be unmatched and Dr. Gillespie has become more than my doctor; she has become a mentor and someone I can turn to for help. I strongly recommend her services to all. I now have a much better relationship with my stress, my self, and my health thanks to her services."

"We met Dr. Gillespie when my daughter was 13 years old, and she is now 21 years old. Throughout the years, Dr. Gillespie has shown us compassionate and professional care. She takes time with our family and has always made herself available to us. Dr. Gillespie has given us guidance on all of my daughter's medical needs, including any we might have regarding other issues. She is a wonderful physician and we highly recommend her. My family has been lucky to have her in our lives and we are thankful for her care throughout all of these years."  

-Parent of patient

"Dr. Gillespie has been my doctor for over 10 years, and she saved my life. Growing up, I had a strong dislike for doctors, but Dr. G. was different. First, I felt like she understood me. I was in denial of my eating disorder, and Dr. G. was the only doctor that was able to help me accept my disease. She was empathetic, and I felt safe to open up and be vulnerable. She treats the whole patient and not only the disease. Second, Dr. G. is an expert in eating disorders. Using evidence-based medicine, she provides individualized care. She has devoted her career to this specialty and is the only doctor I trust in the management of my eating disorder. Dr. G. not only saved my life, but also helped me thrive through recovery."
