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.

Excellent Orthopedic Specialist and Practice
Dr. Matthew Galloway recently treated me for my shoulder pain, recent loss of strength, and ROM. He was clear, concise, cogent, and very considerate in his explanations, physical exam, treatment for pain, and proposed plan of treatment. I am very pleased. When I experienced the symptoms, his staff worked me in as a new patient with his PA so I could be seen as soon as possible. The staff (on the phone and in person) and PA were excellent also. Very cordial and considerate. The PA prescribed an RX for pain, took x-rays, and ordered an MRI. His staff called me when the doctor had an opening to allow me to be seen sooner than the 14 days out appointment I had, so I was able to be seen by the doctor in 10 days, just 3 days after the MRI, which I greatly appreciated. Note: I had shoulder RTC repair surgery 6 years ago by a now retired OS, so I suspected a complication which the MRI confirmed. I will definitely continue with Galloway Orthopedics. Dr M Galloway inspires confidence.

I’ve had two surgical procedures with Dr. Galloway (knee & hip). Received excellent care pre and post op. Showed a genuine concern for patient care and satisfaction

Patient of Galloway Orthopedic
I have been treated and have worked with Dr. Galloway at Mease Countryside Hospital. Has new office with Physical Therapy right next door to his office and surgery center by Mease Dunedin Hospital. Would go again if I need to see Orthopedic Doctor.

No follow up. No return calls. No return emails. Doesn't respond to insurance requests. My insurance ultimately declined coverage due to his lack of follow through.

Knee replacement very painful
Dr Galloway did a complete knee replacement for me in spring 2019. I had horrible pain after my surgery and it never got any better. I have now in July 2023 had revision surgery on that same knee by another surgeon in Minnesota and can say honestly that my results better now that I can walk, sit and stand using my new knee by another doctor. Dr Galloway inserted the incorrect plastic in my original surgery. Now that a smaller more appropriate plastic has been installed, I am walking without pain. I would not recommend Dr Galloway for knee replacement surgery.

Great experience!
Dr Galloway did my second surgery on my shoulder. I had another Dr do first one. It was night and day surgery. I am six weeks out and have almost full range of motion. He had me heal for a bit before starting PT. Can't say enough about him and his team. Everyone was Fantastic!!!!! Highly Recommend!!!!

Dr. Matthew Galloway took great care of my husband and kept me informed throughout his elbow surgery. This is day 1 post-op and he is taking no pain medication because he has minimal pain. Dr. Galloway tried to call my husband twice this morning to check on how he was doing and when my husband did not answer his phone, Dr. Galloway did not give up and called me! He truly cares about his patients and their successful outcome. I highly recommend Dr. Matthew Galloway! His team is also very caring and accommodating and there was minimal wait to see the doctor each time my husband had an appointment.

This doctor may know his job but he does not value your time. One time I went to get an injection and waited 2 hours to get an injection that took less than 5 minutes to administer. The second time I went back I was supposedly the first patient and from the time of check in to the time I was placed in the back waiting room it was one hour of still not being seen. I could hear the doctor talking to another patient and I was thinking to myself if I am the first patient how come I ended up waiting an hour to be seen. I decided this was the last time this office was going to pull this on me. I just walked out. So they ended up getting my copay and I got no service and left very very aggravated. I do not recommend this office to anyone!

I am a patient of Dr. Galloways. I fell and injured my leg and needed a knee replacement. The front desk got me in to see Dr. Galloway very quickly. Dr. Galloway was empathetic, patient and very kind. My knee replacement went very smoothly and I am back to walking an hiking with no pain. Will recommend Dr. Galloway, Clayton Noa, PA and his whole smiling staff to my friends!

my name is Marco I am 26 I should be in good health aside from the current issues I am having with my legs. I fractured my fibula in January while I was at work, I was referred to Dr. Galloway by a family friend and luckily my worker's comp got me in to see this Dr. This was the worst decision I could have ever made for my health and my future as a 26-year-old. When I first went to see the Dr it took almost an hour for me to get into the backroom then I waited for about another thirty minutes to be seen. This is something I would learn to get used to while coming to this office. I would then be verbally abused by staff members especially the one at the front her name is Anne she is a miserable woman who should not be in the medical field what so ever I've seen her treat other patients like garbage including myself. one of the ladies at the front never filed the proper paperwork to get me my closed hinge knee brace it took me almost six weeks to receive it so I never had the chance t

I waited an hour in the waiting room in an hour in the exam room. My surgery day was very confusing as the staff had booked him into two facilities at the same time let’s put my surgery very late in the afternoon. The doctor came in was very agitated. The lady that files insurance was incredibly rude and gave me miss information. Dr. was not very forthcoming with results, therapies or advice. Would not recommend using doctor

Dr. Galloway is a well informed personable doctor who made me feel comfortable the second he entered the room. He gave me his full attention, answered my questions and is the kind of individual I am glad chose medicine as his profession. His staff is warm and helpful-complementing the qualities of the doctor.

An incredible caring doctor who would not give up on finding the source of my pain. I trust Dr Galloway has also made the time to see my mom who was visiting from out to town and now my husband is also going to him for a problem with his hip. He takes his time to explain your issue and well offer the best advice. Doctors like this are rare in this day and age. He has certainly found his calling in treating his patients with dignity, love and respect.

Dr. Galloway is not only friendly, but took the time to explain why the pain and how to treat it. He answered the most simple to complex questions I had. I travel 22 miles from Tampa to his office and will continue to see him as any other situations may arise. The staff is knowledgable and so friendly and I highly recommend his practice when you need an Orthopedic doctor.
