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.

Dr Galgano is very smart and competent for run of the mill problems. But he didn’t have what it takes for my more complicated health problems. He has a kind demeanor but will never admit that a colleague made a mistake even when it’s blatant. Part of the old boys network. So he’s a very mixed bag.

That absolute best! Dr. Galgano ALWAYS took the time to explain what was going on with me no matter how small the issue. When it was a complex issue, he took the time to explain it in "human" terms not medical lingo. He recently left the practice, which is a shame because he was an outstanding doctor who genuinely cared about his patients and regularly followed-up. I wish him all the best!

He is the best doctor I have ever had. He truly takes the time to listen to you, and explains everything so clearly.
