I also had a bad experience with Dr. Gilder. I was sent to her after my MRI
had 20-30 brain lesions and both the radiologist and my neuro said I have MS. When I saw Dr. Gilder the very first thing she said as she walked in the door was "just because you have brain lesions doesn't mean you have MS". But, much to my surprise, I found out that she hadn't even looked at my MRI or report yet. She did that in front of me for the first time and she literally took 30 seconds to look through it. When she asked about my symptoms, it felt like an interrogation and she got annoyed when I had to check my notes (because my memory is completely gone). During the physical exam there were moments where I could not push against her but she kept demanding me to do so like I was faking it. She ordered more tests and sent me on my way. She had waffled so much saying I couldn't possibly have MS one second then saying it sounded like I had it the next that I just left the appointment extremely confused.

My wife was treated by Dr Gilder for several years, our last visit being in 2011. I never found her rude or arrogant in the least!!!! We saw her at least 15 times over that period. I would say that she is a kind and considerate person.

No!! This woman is arrogant and rude!!! Absolutely the worse! I was admitted to Sky ridge hospital for severe issues with my legs and face. I waited for 2 days there to see a neurologist and she happened to be on call. When she finally decided to come meet me she came in was very quick with her exam and didn't even have any of my MRIs or test results with her to go over with Me. She told me flat out I had MS and that yep it sucked and that she would see me in two weeks. I knew nothing about MS or what kind I had or was given any time of treatment plan. She walked right out on me. I was crushed, stunned and speechless and was discharged like that! Needless to say I never went back to her! Found incredible doctors at the MS center of Denver and they actually care.

We just walked out of Dr. Guilder's office. It was absolutely the worst experience I have ever witnessed in a so called doctors office. Dr. Guilder was so rude! She was unprepared for my wife's visit and asked what we were doing there. Then she rapid asked several questions and butted in before my wife could answer. I had accompanied my wife there for and appointment suggested by the staff at Skyridge Medical Center after my wife suffered a stroke.. It was obvious all Dr. Guilder was interested in was the Medicare payment. My wife has two brain aneurysms and that was what we were there for. My wife's blood pressure when we arrived was 117/77. After the abuse my wife received from Dr. Guilder, we walked out with my wife in tears. When we got back to our hotel her BP was 172/85.
The doctors and staff at Skyridge were absolutely wonderful and that's what we expected from Dr. Guilder.
What a disappointment! She could really use some lessons in compassion.

Very unhappy with the unprofessionalism of the staff, poor and scattered communication, rudeness, incompetence and dishonesty. The doctor did not seem interested in my case at all. She could not be bothered with follow up of my problem. Very unhappy. Will not return.

I'm on disability for severe migraines. I chose Dr Gilder before I moved to Denver for college at DU. I chose her because she's a self proclaimed "migraine specialist". She was rude and late to every appointment for nearly 9 months of visiting her. Kristi is just as rude and snippy. Dr Gilder told me on numerous occasions that "nobody feels my pain" "that I've delt with the pain for this many years I can handle the rest of my life in pain". When I wanted to have a baby she told me that I have to choose between treatment and mother hood then a different occasion told me I had to choose between school and mother hood. She told me that if I stopped seeing her that she would make sure I never got care again. She told me the first 5 minutes i met her that she had no interest in seeing me as a patient. I would NEVER recomment this lady to ANYONE!!! She's a terrible doctor and she doesnt have a clue about alternitive medicines or things I could do to alleviate my pain at home I was ginnea pig

I've been seeing Dr. Gilder for two years. She is a good listener and is up to date on new treatments. My level of care here has been outstanding compared to the others I have seen. Her staff has also gone out of her way to help. I would recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Gilder is a great doctor! I found her willing to spend time with me to answer all questions but when I needed to have a follow up, that was hard to do. Kristi, the receptionist, is so rude, condescending, and snippy that I am researching finding a new doctor. When asked to leave the Dr. a message, she acted as if I was putting her out. Thought she would have quit years ago. She is obviously not a happy person.
