Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Went with my mother today to see Dr. Gala. I thought Dr. Gala was very professional. He didn't rush the appointment at all. He appeared to be kind and compassionate. His staff was nice too.

Have seen him several times in the past year and he put two stents in my heart. A very professional, accurate and caring doctor. He addresses all concerns. The office is very busy sometimes but the people that work there do their best to make everything work smoothly.

The office is a mess starting with the front desk staff (all rude) which tells you a lot. This is a cardiologist and they don't return your calls or call back days later. God forbid you are dying, they wont be there to assist you.

Zero stars.. horrible, horrible, horrible. He told our father at 70 that he too risky for surgery and his kidney function was too bad, was giving him medication to "buy him some time" got a second opinion not only did the dr perform surgery that saved his life, took him off the medication and miraculously his kidney function is back to normal. Dr. Gala is a hack who was ok with letting our dad die. Run as fast as you can away from this dr

I seen him several times and not happy with his bed manner. While he is talking to you he is typing at the same time .he really tries to rush you .as a intervention cardiologist he is only concern of putting a Stent in where he makes his money.,otherwise he don't need to spend time with you.find a non intervention cardiologist that will spent time with and your concerns

Dr. Gala is a straight to the point doctor who is interested in the medicine. He leaves you trusting in his medical opinion and explains himself thoroughly. He sits you down to talk to you like a person and is very thorough.
