Unbelievable magician! Had my upper and lower eye surgery. Great experience. Doc was so kind, patient and personable. I was shocked at how my eye bags disappeared, and I’m 64 years old. He’s top notch 👏

Dr. Gilliland is literally such a king👑!!!! When I met him he gave me hope and through "one of the hardest surgeries he's ever done" he gave me my life back! Not to mention he's suuuuper chill, kind and funny. He's a true legend and is great at what he does! If you're reading this and been given a horrible prognosis or have been turned away by multiple Neurosurgeons and oculoplastic surgeons like I was, rest assured that his team are the ones you needed all along. Also, I'm not gonna leave out Dr. Caetano Coinbra (The skull base surgeon who worked with him on my case). He is a treasure trove of wisdom and has a no nonsense approach. I owe the world to both of these men and I proudly stand by them.

Edit: Last but certainly not least, they literally peeled off half my face, replaced a quarter of my scull with titanium (due to the tumor growth), peeled that tumor off my optic nerve and other cranial nerves, slapped that stuff back together and 3 months later I look completely back to normal!!!! I inserted some pictures of me right before surgery, after waking up, and now after 3 months. The proof is in the pudding✨

He has set up a support system process for his patients that extend beyond the surgery in order to ensure proper recovery.

Dr. Gilliland and Staff have been professional and courteous through the process for my orbital decompression surgery due to thyroid disease. Upon meeting Dr. Gilliland I felt comfortable with his medical expertise and skill. My surgery was major eye surgery- I’m still recovering but I feel confident that I’m on track. I’m pleased with the cosmetic difference that this surgery made for me.

I am about 3 weeks post-op from my orbital decompression, and I couldn’t be happier. I am male, and I was 16 when I was first diagnosed with Graves Disease and Thyroid Eye Disease, and now I am 25. To finally have normal eyes is a great feeling. I had significant enough proptosis that prohibited my eyelids from shutting all the way at night, and I would feel a large pressure behind my eyes that was quite troublesome to deal with on a daily basis. The severe dry eyes and pressure both were completely resolved due to the surgeries. In addition to the above, the look of my eyes is absolutely stunning now, even with more healing still left to go. My proptosis was asymmetrical, which makes now having mirror-like symmetry even more satisfying. My friends and family keep making comments like “your eyes look completely normal now!” and “you look so good!”, and anyone reading this wearing similar shoes as mine will know how precious it is to hear those comments. Dr. Gilliland did a phenomenal job. He really comes across as genuine, caring, confident, and intelligent – what more could you ask for in a surgeon? 10/10.

Regarding his staff, I found them all to be very kind and helpful. I felt well-informed about my procedure, what to expect, how much to pay, where to go the day of surgery, etc. I even live 6 hours away from Dallas, and they were very accommodating of that. Again, 10/10.

First visit. Paperwork emailed beforehand - nice. Short wait time - nice! Support staff - a little bit aloof. Dr Gilliland - awesome. Very calm and engaged. So many doctors move 100MPH and seem eager to get to their next patient making me feel disrespected for my time and money, not this guy. He took time with me. Engaged in social conversation. Took pictures and explained what was going on with my eyelids and how he proposed to correct it using his iPad and sketching over the photos. For this visual learner, that was perfect for me. He was excellent in answering questions and tailoring his explanations to my communication style. Overall impressions are excellent. I’m eager to get my procedure scheduled.

Dr. Gilliland is very professional and knowledgeable. He was always very kind and personable., The staff was awesome. My insurance paperwork was excessive and the insurance person endured a lot of extra work, but in the end it all got taken care of. I appreciate her hanging in there with me. Overall I’m very happy with the end result, given the amount of work he had to do. I had 2 orbital wall fractures right eye from a fall. He repaired that, removed my bags, one of which had slid down the inside of my face due to the fractures and while we were at it, he gave me an eye lift. My left eye in pictures does not quite look the same in my opinion, but most don’t notice it unless I mention it. It’s so minute Dr. Gilliland said it would not be a good idea to have surgery for it because the outcome is not guaranteed. Anyway, for the most part I’m very happy and would recommend him to everyone. Thank you Dr. Gilliland ☺️

Dr. Gilliland is an amazing eye surgeon in the Dallas region! I had a chalazion removed from my upper eyelid that healed completely without any bruising or scarring! After a week, you couldn’t even tell I had eye surgery. I’ve had chalazion cysts previously removed from my eye that healed completely, but I was also bruised for 2 weeks during the hearing process. That wasn’t the case for my procedure with him. He was very gentle and informative throughout the entire procedure! He’s a great Dr I fully trust and would highly recommend him for any eye procedure!

I developed dry eye syndrome some years ago. I had my left eye sewn closed twice and was basically blind for 90 days. Light would just bring me to my knees. I had towels tucked in about every window sill of my condo. I could not read or watch TV so I walked inside my condo listening to books on tape. I had a friend who had donated $60 million to eye research, so I had access to basically every doctor in the world. I spent time at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA and the Moran Eye Center in Salt Lake City. I saw specialists at each, along with a host of other doctors. I had been putting warm soaks on my eyes 4-5 times an hour, every hour of every day. I had tried acupuncture, pressure puncture, electric puncture, and had even slept with magnets on my eyes for 6 months. By the grace of God, I was able to visit Dr. Grant Gilliland in Dallas, Texas. To say that he saved my life would be a true fact. He was not only the most efficient doctor, but was so compassionate. He understood how badly I was hurting and how afraid I was that I might not see again or have any type of normal life. I cannot adequately explain here what Grant Gilliland did for me. Please, please, if you have an eye problem, get an appointment with Dr. Grant Gilliland. Here is my contact information (billybob@billybobharris.com, 972-490-2208 or 214-543-8888), and if you would like to talk to me, I will gladly take your call. I don’t want anyone to go through what I did. I thank God for Grant Gilliland!

My experience with Dr. Gilliland and the entire staff was truly a life-saver. Before meeting with him, I had already been examined by two neurosurgeons and three neuro-ophthalmologists elsewhere. Dr. Gilliland was the only doctor who correctly diagnosed my problem and took the time to speak honestly with me about it, as well as help me choose the wisest path for treatment. My situation was a granular cell tumor embedded on the left optic nerve at the orbital apex, extending into the orbital canal.

His consultations were clear, informative and understanding. The staff gave me excellent preparatory instructions for what to expect the day of surgery. The surgery itself went wonderfully. It was a high-risk procedure, and now 8 years later my quality of life is still 1000% better than before. He and his staff have always been gracious and responsive to my questions. I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with an issue related his specialty.
