Dr Galanis has a very professional and relaxed demeanor. This type of affect is essential for patients like me who enter the appointment with a sense of anxiety as it eases any unnecessary tension, allowing the focus to turn to the facts surrounding the symptoms. Doctor and patient can then, in this context, understand each other best and a proper diagnosis can efficiently be ascertained. This was the outcome in my case and so far, I've had no further issues since my appointment 6 months ago!

The staff was exceptional. Unfortunately, Dr. Galanis lacked much of any personality or bedside manner (at least from what I could gage within the 5 minutes he actually spent with me). I was there a total of 2 hours as a new patient with a prior diagnosis.

Very professional. All personel working in the office were most helpful. As a new patient I expected it would be two/three weeks before I could get an appointment, but I was able to get an appointment in a matter of a few days. I highly recommend Dr Galanis and his staff.

Dr. Galanis and his staff were friendly however the wait time was long before and during the appointment. The entire appointment took almost 1.5 hours. Also awkward charge and procedure to obtain script for new glasses.
