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.

gastric sleeve
He performed gastric sleeve on my husband 8 21 by 9 21 he was admitted into hospital when ER Dr. found a hole in top of his stomach & my husband was septic after many calls & appts trying to tell him something wasn't right. Dr. wouldn't listen. My husband ate through a tube for 3 months & eventually released. 3 14 2024 my husband was admitted again into hospital fighting for his life. After 2 5 hr long surgeries by another Dr. 8 days in ICU, a collapse lung, eating through a tube & many internal abdominal abscess, he will be released tomorrow. We were told his stomach wasn't repaired and the leak has been there the past 3yrs and his tissue died. Most of his stomach had to be removed. We were also told that if the second repair surgery did not work, Dr. was out of options for my husband. What bothers me most is how he handled the situation. In 2021 Galloway made jokes. This time, he came into my husbands room and said I hear you don't want me for your surgeon any more. Not done w him.

As a parent, one of my greatest fears is to hear a child needs surgery. Upon the first consultation with Dr. Galloway, those fears completely vanished. Dr. Galloway answered every question in great detail and made us feel like we were his only patients- despite the busy waiting room, which we sat in for only minutes. He greeted us the day of surgery and walked us through the procedure step-by-step. Dr. Galloway is a top-notch surgeon and I am grateful to have him as my daughter’s surgeon.

Dr. Galloway saved mine and my Mom's life. Mom saw Dr. Galloway due to skin cancer. He cured her with surgery and excellent care. Mom goes for screenings yearly. I go with her for support. I myself was very sick. I had a bleeding gastric ulcer and every Dr. I'd seen told me there was nothing they could do. At Moms visit I saw a poster on the wall about ulcer surgery. I asked Dr. Galloway about it. He had me scheduled for surgery within a week. That was 3 years ago and I'm still ulcer free.
