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.

I have recommended Dr Ghaley to several of my frie
Dr Ghaley is the best! He is so kind and has always made me feel comfortable. He talks to his patients throughout a procedure and always asks if they are ok and if they feel any pain to let him know. He wants his patients to feel comfortable at all times. He's awesome!

He gave me my life back
I spent five YEARS going to dozens of doctors up and down the East Coast, but no relief - could not walk further than the mailbox, had to buy a portable electric wheelchair to go to the grocery store, or anywhere that requires walking.When Dr Ghaly opened a practice in Torrington, I figured it was worth a try as I had little to lose.Dr Ghaly saw me right away and diagnosed the problem in two minutes. I got a cortisone injection the next week and have been pain free for two months- walking miles each day.I cannot thank him, and his terrific staff, enough for giving me my life back. And a special shout out to Lonie, his admin, for being SO helpful and supportive.Give him a chance, you will not be disappointed!

FINALLY someone both knowledgeable & compassionate
For months I have experienced often crippling pain in my lower back, hips, and buttocks. An MRI revealed numerous issues however both Neurosurgeons (each was to head of Neurosurgery for their respective hospitals) with whom I consulted couldn't offer ANY advice as to how to alleviate the pain. First and foremost, Dr. Ghaly assured me he was going to get to the root of my problem. Second, he actually put together a stepped approach to troubleshooting the origin of my pain and treating it. He is so knowledgeable and reassuring that I have complete confidence in him. He has started with the least invasive treatment and is proceeding from there; I'm considerably better and am looking forward to completely resolving my issues. I feel like someone FINALLY cares!

I am very pleased with Dr. Ghaly and his staff! Very kind and compassionate people! I just had my 2nd injection on Feb 23,2021 and it seems to be working! Dr Ghaly was very gentle and patient with me, along with his two assistants I was able to withstand the pain. And now with the other medication he prescribed my pain level has decreased significantly!! I would like to thank them for I believe I am in good hands ??
