Dr. Gilbert and his staff are great! By far the easiest doctor’s appointment I’ve ever had. Everything was explained very clearly and thoroughly, and I was seen within 2 minutes of walking in.

All contacts inside the office were professional and kind. Dr. Gilbert himself was empathic and efficient. His evaluation of the X-rays I brought in with me from Urgent Care meant a speedy diagnosis with no further testing necessary. The entire experience was "top notch."

Lovely guy. Friendly, helpful and explained clearly what the issue could be and offered a plan of action to get it sorted. I was seen very quickly, sent for x-rays almost immediately and then given the time to chat to Dr. Gilbert about my issue, with the x-rays as reference. He listened and was extremely reassuring. All done with a smile and very upbeat attitude. Would highly recommend him.
June 6, 2023Gary C.Verified patient
Off to a great start. We have a way to go but I feel I'm in the right place and in the right hands. I like this staff, and Dr. Gilbert makes a strong first impression. Getting an MRI soon, will update at the end of this journey. Very hopeful beginning.

It was a positive experience with Dr Paul Gilbert
I met Dr Gilbert in 2007
when he diagnosed a right shoulder injury and preformed the surgery and repaired the the shoulder
Today he looked at my right knee for a 2nd opinion from
5-24-21 replacement surgery from another Dr and practice
His input was very helpful on a direction to correct the my situation
Dr.Gilbert also performed both knee replacements on my father Frank D. P. that were successful in 1990's
February 9, 2023Damon P.Verified patient
The ZocDoc booking experience was efficient as it showed, almost in real time, the available appointment times (I waited a few minutes before I decided on the time I wanted and it was already gone when I went back!). Nonetheless, the recommendations and ratings to help pick the doctor were spot on, and I was impressed by all the staff at USC Keck Verdugo Hills. Tip: Arrive early to fill in new patient disclosure form (analog) and a lengthy on-line check in application via your phone. It asks for images of your insurance card and driver's license - and didn't accept my images. Don't waste time by trying repeatedly; take them to the receptionist to scan! Otherwise, a super positive experience with the humans!
November 2, 2022Wai L.Verified patient
Very efficient clinic. The staff received my previously filled papers, everything was on time, x-rays done seamlessly. Everyone was very pleasant and professional. The doctor did a detailed exam, spent time listening to complaints and spent time explaining the plan of care. I was very satisfied with this visit

Dr. Gilbert did a partial replacement of my left knee in 2010. It was a piece of cake. Now my right knee needs the same. I am happy he’ll be there for me again.

thorough, friendly, informative , helpful
January 14, 2021Patricia C.Verified patient
While Dr. Gilbert provided me with treatment and an answer to my medical issue (a torn muscle in my back) he also provided me with an unprompted and unnecessary lecture on weight loss/exercise. When I mentioned that I had PCOS and exercise regularly, he seemed unfamiliar with the diagnosis, but that didn’t stop him from continuing with the lecture. I left the office happy to have had the X-rays I needed to ensure I didn’t have any skeletal damage, but annoyed at the unneeded lecture.

Dr. Gilbert is one of the best Orthopedic surgeons. I have known him for over 20 years. I have seen and have worked with many orthopedic surgeons and I still see Dr. Gilbert with over a 50 mile drive to his Glendale office. I have also referred friend and relatives.
More than 1 year agoRobert G.Verified patient
He was not the Dr. I originally selected but I will definitely be seeing him again. He gave a clear description of my condition and actionable treatments, while providing friendly and personable service.

Dr. Gilbert had great information and answered all my questions thoroughly. That being said, he was condescending, corrected me on my grammar, and as the appointment progressed, I had to force myself to persevere in asking my questions despite feeling uncomfortable speaking with him. I do believe it was a satisfactory appointment in that my problem was attentively assessed and I got the information I was looking for but I would hesitate to return to Dr. Gilbert based on his patronizing bedside manner.
