Patient reviews for Dr. Gregory Galano
I have been Dr. Galano’s patient for a few years and can only find good things to say about him. His recently changed offices and his new staff was very friendly and the office is impeccable. Would always recommend him.
Great appointment, even though he is a hip specialist and I needed help with my pelvis, he explained everything and answered all my questions, as well as referring me to a pelvic health specialist. If I ever have hip problems, I know who to make an appointment with.
very professional man- listen sled to my frustrations and offered solutions as. Guidance and explained my issues I’ve been having with my hip
very professional and the fastest diagnosis ever. I guess its because of his vast experience.
Great.
Early to tell but seemed great
Dr. Galano is so amazing. Help me in every possible way. Keep up the great work.
Dr Galano was super helpful and took the time to explain to me the cause of my hip pain. He even showed me a hip model and explained in detail what was happening and the cause of my pain. As a very active runner, he put my mind at ease and came up with a conservative treatment plan to try before considering surgery. I will be following up with him soon!
First of all, the doctor came in with 2 other random people and didn't even take the time to introduce them which made me uncomfortable. He didn't do a thorough evaluation and was quick to order a million tests without actually looking at my problem or listening to what I had to say. I had another issue that I brought up, which he didn't even bother to address. I waited for 30+ minutes, was seen for 2 minutes, and left without receiving any treatment or advice at all. I don't recommend this doctor at all.
Great experience from start to finish. X-Rays done on sight, all in a very well run and organized process. Highly recommended!
Incredible doc. Very thorough.
Quick, efficient and gave me the answers to my questions.
Great once I was seen, but my appointment was at 8:30, I arrived early and still wasn't seen until almost 9:40am.
Dr. Galano was great. He took his time to explain in detail and was very helpful in my knee recovery. I would definitely recommend him to others.
Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful!
Great doctor - no wait, excellent bedside manner, and highly skilled in his field.
Very knowledgeable and conscientious Doctor who explained my condition and the treatment options in a detailed and understandable manner.
I chose him because of his high zoc doc ratings. Cool experience.
Really great experience! Dr. Galano spent a lot of time with me and was very thorough. He explained everything and genuinely seemed to care about getting to the bottom of the problem and getting me better. I will definitely be going back and would highly recommend him.
i still had to fill 3 forms. would be good if that is handled online as well.
Excellent doctor. I am highly satisfied with the outcome of my surgery.
He was outstanding! My wrist has been bothering me for quite some time. I went to urgent care, they took x-rays but found nothing. He took x-rays and knew exactly what the problem was. I love to play sports and am always getting banged up, it's great to have a doctor that understands sports injuries.
I came to him for a second opinion regarding hip arthroscopic surgery. My initial Dr was negative about my chances of responding well to it. Dr Galano was very confident he could get the job done and hopefully relieve my pain
Went for my daughter (10 yr old) fractured shoulder and he was great. Explained everything and answered all of our questions. Was in and out in no time.
For my first visit all went well
Dr. Galano was very pleasant and informative. Very nice bedside manner.
He is a great doctor. He explains everything to me in a way that i can understand, and most importantly he took me seriously and listened to me.
Dr. Galant was great. Explained everything very well. Would recommend.
Good overall. I was there at 8.10am and left an hour later, x-ray and general form filling included. I had a knee issue, so he got x-rays and he showed me the issue and recommended a course of action.
very professional!
I was really impressed with the efficient operation at Lenox Hill. Took me less than an hour to get Xrays and meet with the doctor.
I was very happy with the visit and believe that I will get well!
Dr. Galano was fully engaged in my injury assessment and projected confidence with his conclusions. Overall a great experience.
He's professional, courteous and I would definitely recommend him.
The Offfice was very helpful. They are all efficient and professional I was very pleased with my visit.
Dr. Galano has been really helpful and patient. He really listened to my symptoms and has been explaining everything along the way.
Dr. Galano is such a nice guy, he took the time to explain my injury and options that I could take. I didn't feel rushed at all. Would definitely recommend to friends of mine.
Listen throughly to all I had to say and didnt dismiss anything. Highly recommend.
He's excellent. Very professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the situation and how best to help my condition.
Dr. Galano was great. I went to him because of severe pain in my heel. He saw me right after I filled out my paperwork. He took the time to ask me questions and then evaluated my symptoms. He explained everything clearly and listed a few things I could do to reduce and eventually get rid of my pain.
I would highly recommend Dr. Galano. He took the time to explain everything and answer all my questions.
