Dr. Gilman listened to my complaints with sympathy and understanding before recommending treatment. He skillfully administered a spinal Epidural without sedation. In the past I required sedation for this procedure because of previous painful experience; however, with Dr. Gilman’s assurance, I elected to skip sedation in order to drive myself to and from the procedure. I am quite pleased that my discomfort was manageable and I now I believe I can manage future without sedation.
