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.

I had a small benign tumor in my breast, which he removed with expert skill. I am young, healthy, and fit, so I healed swiftly with no issues. He and all his crew were very kind to me, and answered all my questions. I am very glad to finally have the tumor out of me. Thank you Dr. Gallinaro!

Had gallbladder surgery in april, 10/2 18 I noticed that the incision had swollen and was red. Called dr Gallinaro's office and went to see him 10/3/18, when he asked me if I smoked I said yes and unleashed a angry rant and used foul language about quit smoking. how my smoking is causing all my health problems. My husband was with me and told him that the foul language must stop. Dr Gallinaro's rudeness and tone and foul language was very offensive to me. we left angry . not doing my surgery!

Excellent doctor!! Had to have hernia surgery, the doctor was very informative and made us feel very confident about the procedure. I have had NO issues with my hernia's since the surgery. I have had to other brothers have hernia surgery by other doctors and both have had to go back into surgery again.

Excellent surgeon! Takes time to explain the procedure and follows up with excellent work in the operating room. Very easy going and confident - a good thing.
