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.

A Compassionate Expert in Managing Complex Cases
I have been under the care of Dr. Susan Galandiuk for the past 20 years, navigating the challenging journey of living with Crohn's Disease. My case has been particularly complicated, necessitating numerous surgeries over the years. Despite the complexity and difficulties of my condition, I couldn't envision a more dedicated and capable physician to guide me through this journey.Dr. Galandiuk's passion for her work and her patients is evident in every interaction. Her commitment to providing the best possible care is not just a professional duty; it's a clear indication of her drive and compassion. What's equally telling about Dr. Galandiuk's character and professionalism is the universal respect and admiration she receives from her colleagues. From nurses to anesthesiologists, it's clear that everyone enjoys working with her. The hospital staff frequently share their praises, highlighting not just her medical skills but also her ability to inspire and lead with kindness.

Dr. G(which I call her) is ABSOLUTELY The,"Best," in her field! When I was 11yrs of age(now 38yrs) No Doctor's could figure out why I was loosing so much blood! Remember walking in the first time to ever see her, She has this Calmness & Ability to make you feel relaxed. Skip All the way through, Diagnosis Crohn's Disease; after several tests/procedures, I had my large intestine removed! Surgeries in between! 18yrs later, She's still My Very Own,"Angel From God!" She's so much more to me then just my Colon-rectal-surgeon..... And Every & Any Chance I may get to speak about this,"Wonderful Lady," I Will Do! And I Can't forget two very Special ladies that are & have been nurse's to her, Ms. Robin & Ms. Mary!!!! Dr. G has watched me grow from a scared & terrified LiL girl, into a Woman that is Confident in anything I Do! So, She & her staff Will Forever be in My Prayers & so Thankful for All of them!

Dr. Galandiuk in her staff are wonderful! I was referred to her by my gastroenterologist and another colorectal surgeon! Dr. Galandiuk has operated on me four times, due to IBD. I have been a patient of Dr.G's for 5 yrs and would hesitant to use any other Colon Rectal Surgeon!

I have Crohn's disease and Dr.Galandiuk performed a colon resection on myself doing it laparoscopically leaving a very small scar. She is a excellent surgeon and I feel privileged to have her as my surgeon.

Dr. Galandiuk is a superb physician/surgeon/person. Found her on HealthGrades.com. Dr. Galandiuk's references were outstanding & even took Tricare insurance. Her staff was also great, as was UofL Hospital. I cannot say enough good things about this surgeon. I've recommended Dr. Galandiuk to family & friends who were also seeking a specialist with her special skills. She is Board Certified, a teacher in her field, & up-to-date on skills; but her patient reviews sold me. Thrilled with her!

Dr. Galandiuk and her professional staff provided above average quality of care when treating my health issues. She and her staff take the time to explain procedures as well as the healing process. You'll receive excellent, very compassionate care.
