Doctor is an excellent surgeon. Needs better scheduling practices for his office visits. Performed surgery on my back and relieved all my pain with only 2 days in hospital. Best orthopedic surgeon in the area; perhaps the state.

HE OPERATED ON MY BACK. I ENDED UP IN A COMA. WHEN I WOKE UP I WAS PARALIZED FROM MY WAIST DOWN. NOT ONLY THAT HE OPERATED AGAIN ON MY BACK IN MY HOSPITOL ROOM ON THE 6TH FLOOR IN THE HALIFAX HOSPITOL, INSTEAD OF GETTING ME IN AN OPERATING ROOM. TO REMOVE A BATTERY HE TOLD ME HE PUT IN MY BACK TO PROMOTE NERVE GROWTH. HE SAID I HAD NERVE DAMAGE. AFTER CHECKING WITH THE AMA THEY TOLD ME HE WASN'T OTHORISED TO HAVE ANYTING TO DO WITH MY NERVES. HE SHOULD HAVE GOT A NEROLIGIST INVOLVED. YOU CAN TAKE YOUR CHANCES. REMEMBER HE'S STILL PRACTACING.

Very rushed. When he did surgery, he made me worse than before. I have spoke with several people since, all who have had about the same experience. I would never go back nor recommend him to anyone.

Biography

Dr. Mark C. Gillespy is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and a long time resident of the Daytona Beach area. He is the son of Dr. Thurman Gillespy Jr., who founded The Orthopedic Clinic in 1961, and joined the practice his father started after completing his residency in 1992. Dr. Gillespy is passionate about developing and perfecting innovative methods to treat his patients so they experience shorter hospitalization and faster recovery times. His total hip joint replacement surgeries are performed through a direct anterior approach, which avoids cutting of any hip muscles. He is also one of the few doctors in the Daytona area who performs Birmingham Hip Resurfacing surgery. This innovative technique preserves more of the patient’s original joint. He’s perfected minimally invasive approaches to help patients with spinal disc conditions, spinal fractures, and spinal fusion surgeries.
