Verified patient
The entire office staff is friendly, professional, and caring. Dr. Galdi arranged for me to have an immediate xray done at HUMC so that he could consult about the condition of my knee. His method of explaining the situation as well as future recommendations for care were clear and concise. I have full confidence that Dr. Galdi and his staff will help me find relief from my ongoing knee pain and get back to my normal routines. Thank you!
Verified patient
The doctor and nurse showed concern and we're fantastic. The office staff did their job but you felt they were doing you a favor and we're very curt.
Good doctor, listens carefully and speaks comfortingly. However the front office reception is extremely chaotic with one person trying to do everything from get new patients to sign up to juggling with paperwork and handling calls at the same time. She was not the most pleasant person, understandably due to the amount of workload. Also it was a 1.5 hour wait even though I had a zocdoc scheduled appointment. This doctors office reception does not have water but only coffee...so carry your own water. Not enough chairs for the number of patients this doctor gets...so expect some standing time. .
The Doctor was very pleasant
Verified patient
Dr Balazs Galdi is one of the best doctors I have seen in a long time. He is extremely courteous, accessible and thorough with exemplary chair side manners. Most importantly, he is very responsive and empathetic. If you have a shoulder issue, this is definitely the doctor to see.

I was first seen by his resident, who was not that great, just going through the motions of asking questions but didn't seem to truly listen, but Dr. Galdi himself was great! Dr. Galdi is very friendly and explained very well what he thought was going on. The office staff is also very great!
Pensé que gracia a Dios el me podría ayudar con mi problema fue doloroso pero espero que mi brazos vuelva a ser como ante . Gracias

Verified patient
The doctor is excellent and thorough the best I have seen for my issue and I have been to several, despite the front desk staff being incompetent, unable to speak English and horrific. He is worth the drive. Professional, courteous, knowledgeable etc.
I have been trying to find a knee doctor and I couldn't find one. The only trouble I had with this dr, was the location. This website says one thing and the location is different. Dr took real good care of me and wants to figure out why I am in so much pain. I am getting married in 2 months and he wants to make sure I am able to walk down the aisle.
Verified patient
As soon as I met the doc, I had a good vibe from him. In my profession reading body language is key, so my judge of character is and always has to be on point. He made me feel as if we have known each other for years but was very professional. He explained everything to me. He let me ask him questions and he answered them right then and there. After he explained and showed my what he was talking about, he then explained our next steps. There was some unexpected news and his delivery of the news was perfect. Once we take care of that then we can move forward. His interest is that of the patients 100%. I'm not gaining anything from stating these true positive words about Dr. Balazs Galdi. He is worth an hour 1 way drive. I would drive 2 hours to see him. Now enough about the good doctor let's talk about his staff. Helen was my main contact at the office. She was very friendly as well as helpful from our first phone conversation. She made sure I understood everything and made sure I had all the documents before the visit as well what to bring. The staff at office was just as friendly and very professional. This is without a doubt the best doctor visit I've ever had, even tho there was some additional not so great news. Words alone cannot describe how great my experience was. If I could have him as my primary doctor I would. This entire visit should be the model standard for all office/practice to follow.
Verified patient
Dr. Galdi's office staff was courteous and explained what forms I needed to fill out. The office was very professional. I waited less than two minutes in the waiting room. Dr. Galdi saw me in the exam room within 5 minutes. Dr. Galdi is courteous, professional and competent. Dr. Galdi was able to diagnose my problem and within 24 hrs I was feeling 100% better.
Dr. Galdi is a craring and compasionately Dr. Also he voke has time to stand and explain any caring procedure and his staff is very profesional have excellent customer service.
Very pleased.
