Meet Dr. Jonathan Gilmore
Family is central to my life and treating each patient how I would want my own child to be treated is the guiding principle of my practice. I grew up in a large family and now have 23 nieces and nephews and 3 kids of my own. Because of this, working hard to provide the best family-centered care possible for each child is very important to me.
My journey to pediatrics started after playing six years of minor league baseball with the Atlanta Braves and Chicago White Sox organizations. After baseball, I attended Dallas Baptist University for undergrad, the University of Iowa for medical school and the University of Alabama at Birmingham for pediatric residency.
Every child's life is a sacred blessing which deserves respect and compassionate care. Partnering with families over the years to maximize each child's physical, mental and emotional health has been such a joy. I love the long term relationships which general pediatrics provides and helping families keep their children as healthy as possible.
I am lucky to be married to my best friend, Jessie, and we have 3 wonderful kids. Outside of work, I enjoy maxing out family time, reading, working out and church activities.
I look forward to meeting your family and I am excited to serve the surrounding communities for years to come.

What our families say

July 16, 2025
Dr. Gilmore and [...] were great with my son! They were patient with him and showed him/explained to him everything they were doing. Dr Gilmore was so personable. He was kind and compassionate. He didn't make me feel rushed and gave me all the time I needed for questions. He gave me sound medical advice and answered all my questions thoroughly. I could tell my son felt comfortable and safe with Dr. Gilmore and his assistants. My son is usually pretty apprehensive with medical personnel, so this is a huge win for him to feel comfortable. I'm so pleased with the care we received and look forward to continuing to bring my family to Dr Gilmore in the future.

What a blessing Dr. Gilmore is to my family and son! He is kind, empathetic, patient, and an excellent listener. You will feel heard when you interact with him, and he never makes you feel bad for bringing up any concern, big or small; he takes them all seriously. No matter how many patients he has in his clinic, when he walks into your room, you feel like you're the only patient there that day. He doesn't make us feel rushed, and that is greatly appreciated and hard to find in a provider these days. I would highly recommend this clinic. You will be so pleased with the care Dr. Gilmore and his staff providers!
