Dr. Kevin Gill Quote:
“I save lifestyles, not lives.”
Dr. Kevin Gill practices orthopedic surgery with a specialty in disorders of the spine. He is a former Professor and Vice Chairman of Orthopaedic Surgery at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas and was the Residency Program Director for the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. He also served as Vice President of Medical Services (Chief Medical Officer) at UT Southwestern Medical Center/University Hospital-St. Paul.
Dr. Gill received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin. After earning his medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine, he completed a general surgery internship and orthopedic surgery residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center. He then pursued a post-graduate fellowship in spinal surgery at the University of Vermont and The London Hospital and Clinic, London, England. He also holds a Master of Medical Management degree from Tulane University.
He is certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery and the American Board of Spine Surgery, and he is a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery. Dr. Gill holds memberships in the American Orthopaedic Association, the North American Spine Society, the Cervical Spine Research Society, and the International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine. He is also a member of the American College of Physician Executives and a Diplomate of the American College of Healthcare Executives. He served as an Advisory Editor for the journal Spine and The Spine Journal. In 1991, 1994, and 1995, Dr. Gill and his research group won the Volvo and Camp Awards in Clinical Sciences for International Low Back Pain Research. In 2008, his research group received the Kappa Delta Orthopaedic Research Award for clinical science work studying degenerative disc disease in identical twins.
His extensive clinical experience includes the diagnosis and treatment of degenerative cervical and lumbar spine conditions, including spinal fusions, disc arthroplasty, and minimally invasive spine surgery. He has participated in multiple clinical trials investigating motion preservation implants and surgical techniques.
