Dr. Gilkison is board-certified in internal medicine and gastroenterology, a Fellow of the American College of Gastroenterology and a member of the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.

Dr. Gilkison is committed to providing a safe, compassionate environment where patients feel comfortable discussing even sensitive or private concerns. “One of the most meaningful and humbling aspects of my work as a gastroenterologist is the opportunity to prevent colon cancer — one of the most common and deadly cancers — through colonoscopy,” Dr. Gilkison shared. She believes the best outcomes come from a team-based approach and emphasizes patient education, knowing that understanding what is happening in their bodies empowers patients to take an active role in improving their health and quality of life.
