Didn't Listen
I went to Dr. Gale original because of a deviated septum. I had broke my nose a year or 2 before, and it was hard to breathe. After speaking with Dr. Gale he told me that for a small fee he could also fix the crookedness of my nose. I figured if I was going to have surgery anyway it was worth it. During one our our meetings he mentioned something about shaving the tip of my nose. I told him I didn't want him to do that. I only wanted to reset my nose and make it breathable. He didn't really say much to that and he never mentioned it again. However when I got out of my surgery I noticed that my nose looked different. It was swollen so I figured after the swelling went down it would be fine. That was about 18 months ago, so needless to say the swelling has gone down and I have a completely different nose. I don't have any objection with the functionality of my nose, but I wasn't expecting, nor did I want, a different nose, and now I have one. Even after explicitly telling him just..

After loosing 45lbs, I felt my face was a little droopy. Dr. Gale gave me some filler for cheeks and I love it! I didn't want to have a plastic look nor look fake. He listened to my concerns and gave me the perfect amount of filler! I'm hooked for life!!

I was suffering with one sinus infection and bronchitis issues after another until Dr. Gale read my CT scan and diagnosed blocked sinuses and enlarged turbinates that were preventing proper drainage. I scheduled surgery and immediately felt better. It has been 7 months and I have not had sinus problems since! Thank you Dr. Gale!

I came in with concerns about sleep apnea. Dr. Gale was very knowledgeable, understanding, and was able to answer every question and concern I had. He also gave me excellent advice that I hadn't even his assistant Samantha was very helpful in setting up follow up tests.

Working with Dr Gale and his staff has been a wonderful experience. Every appointment was extremely informative and an answer to my prayers. After many years of nasal congestion and Dr's telling me that everything looks fine, Dr Gale gave me a long term solution and results. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
