Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very blessed and thankful to say Dr. Galassi was the anesthesiologist for both of my orthopedic surgeries; one in 2015 and just on Nov 5. He gave me blocks and I was pain free for greater than 20 hours both times. He put me at ease , and took exemplary care of me. Thank you Dr. Galassi. Without a doubt you are in great hands if he’s on your care team!

Just this week, I had surgery to have my right knee scoped. Dr. Galassi was my Anesthesiologist. I told him before the surgery that I had issues regaining consciousness after surgery and asked if he would keep this in mind when he gave me the anesthetic. Long story short, I awoke in the recovery room and had no problem whatsoever. No nausea, no nothing. Thank you, Dr. Galassi.
