He is a diplomate of the American Board of Orthopedic Surgeons and a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, American Orthopaedic Association Emerging Leaders Program and North America Spine Society.
Dr. Gill focuses his practice on minimally invasive cervical and lumbar spine surgeries, deformity and degenerative conditions as well as workers compensation injuries. He was the AAOS Resident Liaison from 2006 and 2008. In 2007, he won the AAOS/OREF Traveling Fellowship.

"There are many opportunities for spine surgeons in the coming years. As a specialty, we are more focused on providing great outcomes for our patients that are objective and reproducible. Furthermore, providing this quality care in a cost-effective manner," says Dr. Gill. "There is going to be a greater collaboration amongst spine surgeons, hospital administrators, equipment manufacturers and insurance companies. As more spine surgeons become vertically aligned with their respective 'partners' in their local, regional and national communities, the overall quality and care of the patient will improve exponentially as well as the satisfaction amongst each role player."
Dr. Gill earned his medical degree at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Lubbock, where he also completed his orthopedic residency. He has completed a fellowship in adult spinal surgery at Durham, N.C.-based Duke University Medical Center.
