Dr. Galle, is a great surgeon and has an excellent bedside manner. He made sure my wife and I had all our questions answered both in the ER and in pre-op. He did a great job explaning what was going to happen and what post-op would look like. It was a very nice experience in an otherwise bad day.

I see that everyone states that Dr. Galle spends time with them explaining details of surgery...hmmmm....not the case here. I had 1 appointment with him and scheduled surgery. I saw him for 1 minute prior to surgery which he noticed how nervous I was. I asked him to make sure to call my husband after surgery and he assured me he would....that never happened and I never saw him again. I was in recovery for 2 hours while the nurses were calling and paging him to see what my post op orders were. The nurses also thought this was ridiculous and kept apologizing to me. I kept asking the staff when I would see my Doctor and everyone stated the next morning.....again that did not happen. Instead his PA showed up....someone I had never met or was never told about. Nice....

Dr. Galle is very friendly, down-to-earth and open to all kinds of questions. I felt very comfortable talking to him and would use him again, although I hope I don't need any surgery again!

Dr. Galle has an excellent bedside manner! He is attentive, easy to talk to, explained things every step of the way and very respectful. He always made me feel like I was his only patient and that he had TIME to talk and answer my questions.... Not like some doctors who make you feel like you are wasting their time and they are "too busy." I can whole heartedly recommend Dr. Galle for any surgical needs! You will NOT be disappointed!
