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.

Unfortunately my visit with Dr. Galient was a complete wast of money and time ...i was well prepared and went with all of my xrays ,mri, previous surgery notes etc.. i had high hopes for this doctor..however after a long discussion about my condition he was very dismissive and sounded like he didnt want to do anything he flat out tells me to go back to my doctor and that he has no solution for me and can not help me..!!! I took time out of my working schedule to see this guy who was completely careless and lazy

Worst Doctor I have ever met – Jul 09, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Galinat?
Dr. Galinat was awesome! He listened to me when I explained what was going on. He was very tender when he examined my shoulder. Then he let me know what we need to do to make my shoulder feel better. My whole experience was totally wonderful. I won’t go anywhere else now.

Had Dr. Galinat been available to the king’s men, they likely would have been able to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. If I were to need another shoulder repair, Dr. Galinat would certainly be my first choice for surgen.

Dr. Galinat was patient and helpful taking the time to make sure I fully understood my condition and the course of action to address it. He offered options and did not rush into any treatment plan. In fact he decided that a procedure was not warranted. If you are having shoulder challenges he is the first Dr. to call.

Dr. G was on call for my surgeon. He was no help. He would not listen and was quite arrogant....He may be a good surgeon but I would not use his service.

Arrogant and cavalier. Exam was rushed and he walked out while I was still trying to ask questions. Didn't care when I told him my shoulder pain was severe enough to be impacting my sleep every night. "Should get better in a month" Complete waste of my time- I would strongly recommend against going to Dr. Galinat.
