Business Owner

Dr. Gilliam has been a family medicine and urgent care doctor for 30 years. He graduated from medical school at the University of California-​San Francisco and then studied family medicine at the Central Maine Medical Center. He was in private practice for 20 years and during that time he started a walk-​in clinic, the first one in the state of Maine.

During his time in Maine Dr. Gilliam worked for some of the actors and film companies that came to work in the state including Mel Gibson, Glenn Close, Cissy Spacek, and Tom Wilkinson

After relocating back to California in 2000, Dr. Gilliam worked at several urgent care centers in Monterey County over a 13 year period.

In September 2013, he decided to open DOCTORS for LESS in Monterey to address the high cost of medical care in California. With that in mind, he offers office visits at an average cost of $ 75; telemedicine visits for $ 75; and house calls for $ 200. He is available by phone 24 hours a day.

Doctors for Less is the best place for quality and affordable service. I didn’t think places like this existed but sure enough the price was perfect. I would give this doctor 6 stars but only limited to 5. I don’t even want to tell you guys about this place and keep it as my secret but to do the doctor a service and keep him in business, I’m spreading the love.
Best DR. Ever!!!

Dr. Gilliam was great. We were visiting in Carmel over New Years. Our 8 year old son was complaining of ear pain. I called Dr Gilliam, he offered to open up his office on New Years Day for us. We showed up, he was completely professional, got us in and out with a great diagnosis. We would highly recommend Dr Gilliam and his office. Thank you Dr Gilliam and Happy New Year!

First of I have to thank Dr. Gilliam. I haven’t had a Doctor take so much time extra time with a petient, he helps 7 days a week. He even took time off on the 1st of the year for me. If you want a knowledgeable doctor who does all he can help you out, even on Holidays! Which I couldn’t believe, this is the doctor you want to see.

We called early Sunday morning, as I was suffering from swollen tonsils that made it almost impossible to swallow or sleep comfortably. Dr. Gilliam gave me an appointment for later that morning, and in fact, made the trip into town just to take care of me. It was our second visit, and will certainly not be our last; he is a life saver!

Dr. Gilliam has thus far been a great Dr.
His immense experience and great bedside manners trumps most doctors I have dealt with!
I don’t feel I need to educate him like I have other doctors and yes~ some doctors need educated!
He has always thus far been available even on holidays!
A Dr. Who takes his oath as a Dr. Seriously!
He also gives back to his community by helping those in need of a Dr. Who have no insurance.
Not many doctors do that! So if you have some odd misunderstanding as I have read with a review with Dr. Gilliam~ Try to explain in educated terms what your problem is.

I have been seeing Dr. G since he opened his practice in Monterey I see him monthly sometimes more, he is by far the most thorough dr. I have seen in over 10 years I will never go to another doctor again if you are looking for a doctor I recommend Dr. G you will not regret it. He always has a smile on his face and will treat you with the most utmost respect. In my eyes he goes above and beyond the call of duty of what a doctor should do. He is the type of doctor you can tell anything too and he will not judge at least I feel like I can tell him anything and he listens and gives the best advice, thank you for everything you have done for me Dr. G and I cannot wait to see you for my next visit.

Jocelyn P. I completely agree with your review!
DO NOT GIVE Gilliam your credit card number but more importantly DO NOT GO HERE!
I went in because I was sick and just in case my insurance didn’t go through, he charge me $ 25 co-​pay fee on my card. A short time later I see a charge for $ 55 so I called him. And he CLAIMED my insurance didn’t go through. So I called my insurance and it turns out that IT DID GO THROUGH and he decided to FRAUDULENTLY CHARGE MY CARD. I had to cancel my card and dispute the charge.
It is DISGUSTING and SHAMEFUL that this type of person works the medical field. Doctors are supposed to help you NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU.
Do yourself a favor and DO NOT GO HERE!!!

BEWARE!!! DO NOT GIVE Dr. Gilliam your credit card number!!! Took my daughter here and just in case her insurance didn’t go through, he was going to charge the $ 60 fee on my card. A short time later I see a charge for $ 112.08. WTF!!! Then TWO MONTHS later when I hadn’t even been in since, I get ANOTHER charge for $ 112.08 on my credit card! I left two messages and absolutely NO response from him. This is cowardly and suggests to me this business is a VERY shady business. DO NOT GO!!! I had to cancel my credit card and disputed both charges.

Went to dr’s for less today for the first time, even though I have private insurance I didn’t have the time to wait at a doctors on duty for hours. I was happy to pay 60.00 he is a pretty wonderful person. In the future if I’m in a pinch for time I will go again to see him. It’s well worth the 60.00! Smart Dr. to offer this quick small health issue service.

I saw Dr. Gilliam today for the first time. I was in and out of there in 15 minutes. My prescription was ready in just 5 minutes. Dr. Gilliam is very professional, knowledgeable, and the price was on point. I will refer everyone I know to Dr. Gilliam’s office! Affordable health care services you can afford.

Just wanted to thank Dr. Gilliam for coming in on the weekend to see my son. My son had been playing in the yard and he fell and hit his head causing a deep laceration. The cut was deep but not bleeding much so I called the doctor whom I had seen before for a UTI. He met me at the office on the weekend within 1 hour of my call. I was a little worried because I knew my 6 year old needed stitches and I didn’t know how it would go over without any nurses to assist. He cleaned the wound and was able to assure my son and put 4 stitches in his wound. We went back in a week and he removed the stitches, the wound has healed with surprisingly minimal scaring. We will definitely go back!

Saw Dr. Gilliam last Friday for a sprained ankle and for $ 50 it was perfect. I have been going to Drs. On Duty and without insurance it is almost $ 150 for the visit. The wait at Doctors for Less was minimal, maybe 15 minutes. The visit was simple and easy. I will definitely go back!

Fabulous experience with a caring doctor!
$ 50 for up to a 10 minute consult — more than enough time for most things!
I even came back after I changed my mind about antibiotics and he just called in the prescription with no extra charge!
Treated with respect like an intelligent fellow human!
Would totally recommend this service!

Behind Black Bear Diner, this appears to be a very reasonable alternative to the current system.
