About Me

As a hip and knee surgeon, I meet patients at all stages of life. I see patients with and without arthritis, before and after joint replacements. I believe in a patient centered approach to elective hip and knee replacement. I feel strongly that my job as a physician and surgeon is to give all available treatment plans and allow the patient to be the captain of their own ship. Through this approach I enjoy getting to know my patients and working collaboratively in the decision-making process of non-operative care all the way through exploring the options of partial or total joint replacement.

I am an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in the treatment of osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, inflammatory arthritis, deformity correction, avascular necrosis of the hip/knee and failed previous joint replacements. I perform partial/total knee and total hip replacements. I also have extensive training in the revision of hip/knee replacements and perform complex hip and knee reconstruction surgeries.

I attended medical school at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. After medical school I completed a 5-year orthopedic surgical residency at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. During training I worked with well-renowned leaders in hip and knee arthroplasty throughout the Philadelphia/Baltimore/Boston areas and developed a passion for the ability of hip and knee replacements to restore function and improving patient’s lives. After residency, I pursued a fellowship in complex hip and knee reconstruction at University of Maryland and the Rubin Institute of Advanced Orthopedics. During this additional year of training, I further honed my skills in complex knee reconstruction, complex hip reconstruction, revision hip and knee reconstruction, partial knee replacement and robotic assisted joint replacements.

During my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife and the new addition of our daughter. I am an avid college football fan who bleeds blue and white, WE ARE. I’m also a car enthusiast who enjoys the scenic drives around the Lehigh Valley area. As a native of the Lehigh Valley, growing up and going to school in Whitehall, I am excited to return to the area and serve the community who I grew up with.

He sat down right away, and listened to me. Didn't make me feel rushed in any way. I can't say enough good things about my experience with him as my surgeon. Give him a raise immediately!

Saint Lukes is the best! I've heard of experiences with other hospitals that weren't good, but had none of that with st Luke's. Thanks for being local to Quakertown. Also, Dr Gilson was a pleasure to deal with and I recently recommended a family member to him.

I could not possibly be any happier with the care and kindness I received from Dr. Gilson and every member of the St. Luke's staff that was involved in my surgery and recovery. Dr. Gilson is exceptional, and I have already recommended him to a couple of friends.

08/28/2023
First time visit with an Ortho specialist to a) address an immediate hip/back problem, and b) establish an ongoing relationship with a St Luke's person since we moved. Dr Gilson and team were excellent. Only negatives were the time to wait in the treatment room, which I understand when seeing a specialist.

08/26/2023
They are on top of everything very organized. I'm all prepped for surgery and know what needs to be done. Great team!

08/16/2023
This was a very positive experience. The office and staff were respectful and caring. The Doctor was great at explaining the issues now and in the future as they might develop. I highly prefer to go to a physician who part of SLHN. The physicians are more people oriented and work with you as a partner. The offices are consistently better run. More organized, efficient, anticipating issues and responding on an individual level. I love the charting system where I can find all my info. affiliation. St. Luke's is great.

08/15/2023
My experiences at St. Luke's was good. Although I had pain from my surgery, the nurses were terrific!! Everyone was caring and helpful.

08/14/2023
Dr. Gilson was very good in his explanation of my knee revision.

08/07/2023
EVERYONE WAS GREAT AND CARING!!!

08/01/2023
After several visits, X rays, MRI - conclusion was I had two torn meniscus and a torn ACL and over all my knee had deteriorated and needed to be replaced. This was not a surprise ( I had been told that my knee would have to be replaced a number of years ago),

08/01/2023
