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.

Very thorough and top notch care

I am very happy with Dr Gala after switching from the last provider. I feel he is on top of my concerns with my child. He is also very knowledgeable with us after our initial physical. I'm really glad we switched as I have more confidence in the practice now.

Dr. Gala always takes the time to explain everything in thorough detail, without ever coming off condescending. I appreciate when he elaborates on how he came to the diagnosis. He genuinely cares for the wellbeing of my children, and also trusts my input about them. Couldn't ask for a better physician.
