    My doctor / surgeon is very knowledgeable of my condition and the steps necessary to heal me. Very informative of before and after care for my procedure. Spoke well mannered. Gave great input and encouragement for after care. I've never been excited for a surgery but the level of comfort I'm sure during my visits, it makes me so comfortable.

    Dr. Galler has a gift for making people feel at ease under, shall we say, very embarrassing circumstances. I wouldn't go to anyone else; he's one of the best physicians I've ever had. Additionally, his staff is equally wonderful. Other than momentary embarrassment, the visit is no-stress.

    You become more educated on a patient's medical background in combination with the medical guidelines before a definitive outcome is determined. This is my second time encountering this approach on an initial visit. This doesn't create solid patient confidence.

    A month ago, I had hemorrhoid removal surgery. I was extremely pleased with all the clinic staff, and especially with Dr. Galler! From the very first visit, the care and attentiveness toward patients were exceptional. The recovery after the surgery was much easier than I expected. If I had known everything would go so well, I would have come to you a couple of years earlier. I can confidently recommend you to anyone who needs help with this delicate health issue.

    So sorry but I felt that Dr Galler was more interested in what he would do in the future re my care rather than my interest in going forward with his plan of action. I think he was able to hear me towards the end of our discussion, I hope so.

He had a very good bedside manner, which is important in this particular specialty. The examination is of a very private nature and does cause fear and stress, so I appreciate that he made me feel comfortable. His staff was very friendly and helpful.
