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.

Needs to work on his bedside manor.

Best Doctor ever
My husband an I have been going to Dr Galluccio for about 30 years and he has always looked out for us. He keeps on top of all our health needs such as vacinations, blood test, medications and referrals when needed. He is patient and actualy listens to what you are concernd with. His staff are very friendly and willing to help with whatever your need are. we would'nt think of going to anyone else.

The office staff is excellent very understanding and English is their first language. I have never had any problem there with communication with the office staff. The doctors are very caring and take a great amount of time with you, which means there is a wait before you see these doctors.

Front Office Staff is horrible
My father, who is 89, received notification that his primary physician retired so I set out find him a new primary physician. I made an Appt for my father who is not very mobile, to see Dr. Galluccio to see if he would be a good fit. The front office staff, who seem to have a bit of a tough time with English as their primary language, at Dr. Galluccio's office stated that he could meet with my father and I explained that my father wanted to meet with him prior to officially changing PCP's with his Ins. They stated this would be fine. However, when we arrived for the appt, the front office staff asked for my fathers insurance card and once they read it, told my father that he could not meet with the Dr as he was not a current patient. This had already been explained to them prior. They are not bright. When are Dr's going to realize that the front office is the face of their business and hiring unintelligent people is never a good idea.

Willing staff who were knowledgeable about the procedure I was having done. Dr. Galluccio is always a competent physician who exudes professionalism and dedication to all his patients. One leaves the office knowing they have received the best possible care in best practice.

Staff is uninformed and meets patients without wearing masks. Charts are not updated and office staff is grossly unprepared for patient visits. A general carelessness with office hours and consistent openings and closings of the office. A sloppily run medical office.

My long time physician retired and Dr. Galluccio was recommended. I went in for a preventative physical. As a new patient, be prepared to be charged $300 for a meet and greet, so he can review the new patient data that any Dr. would require. Labs scheduled next. I reviewed the lab report and only had minimally high cholesterol. New appointment for $200 to tell me I had minimally high cholesterol. Recommended 3 additional appointments. No thanks. The billing office did not bill anything preventative, but rather diagnostic, triggering my insurance carrier to pay a lesser amount and forcing me to come out of pocket for what was preventative care. We discussed with the billing office and they said they would resolve the issue, but never did and refuse to return any correspondence written or via phone.

I always experience professionalism, expertise and compassion from Dr Galluccio and his staff. I believe Dr Galluccio takes a sincere interest in his patients and is committed to providing assessments and interventions that are in the best interest of his patient’s health. Dr Galluccio and his staff take the time to understand patient’s concerns and I have never experienced a rush appointment. I am a registered nurse and nursing professor and would highly recommend Dr. Galluccio and his office staff.
