He is a very good dr. Very nice and friendly. He actually found another issue that needed to be addressed that I wasnt aware of. He is also ordering more tests in my neck before making any decisions regarding surgery..which I really appreciate, him not wanting to jump right into surgery and wanting to get all the necessary tests done first. I would recommend him to my friends and family.

On my first visit with Dr.Gallati he sat and listened to me and my concerns and set me up with surgery then the next time I saw him he was quick and to the point he was in and out quickly and that I didn’t really like. It concerned me and my long term goals of my back issues. But overall he is a good doctor, he just has to take the time to really listen and engage more with his patients like his p.a Dr. Blair.

This was my second visit with Dr. Gallati. The first visit was disappointing at best, but the follow-up visit was very informative with Dr. Gallati proposing a new spinal device (TOPS Spinal) in lieu of spinal fusion. Dr. Gallati answered all our questions.

Doctor Gallati and Support Staff are very professional, thorough and simply wonderful to work with for my neurological needs. They coordinate with all my doctors and stay up-to-date with my overall health care. I have no doubt that they will continue to provide top-notch services through foreseen and unforseen future care.

Had wrong information about me as it was our initial visit not a recheck. Waited 90 minutes in lobby. Felt Dr. Gallati was rushed and talked way too fast. Won’t be using him again
