She is an active advisor for Iron Health, a tech-enabled, virtual care platform that provides high quality, comprehensive healthcare for women that enables OB/GYN practices and health systems to bridge gaps across the health journey (by supporting their patients with convenient and comprehensive care, from primary care and behavioral health to weight management and pregnancy support).

In her private practice, she specializes in treating women, particularly women with Bipolar I Disorder, PMDD and women who are pregnant or postpartum. There is an extensive, unmet need for clinical specialization in treating women with mental health concerns. Additionally, women face psychiatric concerns that are related to events that are exclusive to women over the course of their life: those being - menstruation, pregnancy, menopause. Dr. Gill is avid about providing that specialized care to her patients.

Her philosophy as a leader is to encourage clinicians and staff to care for each other, so that we can provide the best care for our patients.
