  You should go to this hospital if you are sick or injured..., May 28, 2013

This doctor is excellent. Went in with deep laceration on knee. Quickly patched up and released. She was pleasant and joking with me the entire time. Friendly doctor and greatly skilled. Highly recommend.
  Avoid at all costs!!! Terrible doctor who imposes conservative beliefs on patients!..., May 21, 2013

I had slim pickings with my new HMO so I chose Dr. Galiano because he was downtown near my office. I was always in/out in 30 minutes which was great BUT he would always make snide comments to me. He asked "Why would you need a blood test for STDs? Are you promiscuous?" All I wanted was to get a checkup and figured I could test for STDs since they were already taking my blood. I didn't need a judgement. Recently I went in to get a blood test to see if I was pregnant. This was an unplanned pregnancy so it was really scary. He proceeded to lecture me by saying "The body is made for reproducing and you should not be having sex if you do not want to reproduce." I have never been more offended in my life! He also refused a blood test because he said it would be a waste of money and I needed to wait longer than 2.5 weeks. 2.5 weeks or not I was scared and needed medical guidance in which I received judgement and lectures. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!
  Run from this doctor!!! She only sees you as a paycheck!..., Apr 17, 2013

Run from this place. This doctor will see you as a number and a paycheck and nothing else. Your treatment will not be tailored to you, it's a one treatment fits all approach here. During the course of my treatment, unneeded tests and procedures were performed and needed tests missed. The wrong medication instructions were given on several occasions and of course I couldn't reach anyone before the time I was supposed to take them. Dr Gell does not liked to be questioned about what she's doing and will respond to questions with an attitude during remaining treatments. I had 2 failed IVF treatments here (same protocol both times because Dr Gell wouldn't alter her treatment) and ended up losing all embryos before transfer day for both cycles.
  he has no time for post op care and will kick you to the curb..., Apr 12, 2013

his surgery on my wife got infected resulting in 4 days in the hospital, a week after she got out he said it was scar tissue, a week after that she called to say it still hurt, he said somethings not right a to see him in 6 days, i called to complain that 6 days is too long maybe we should go to the hospital, his office called back stating we would recieve a certified letter stating he would not provide her any more care and to find a new doctor, THEY THREW US TO THE CURB, he cut her, it got infected, so too bad find another doctor
  I would not recommend her to a friend. Get a second opinion..., Apr 7, 2013

I would not recommend her to a friend. She over-diagnoses and over-treats. Make sure you get a second opinion to be certain of the diagnosis before you commit to treatment. Thank you very much and that is all I am going to say...
