Sari Galanes, MD

I have no doubt that Dr. Galanes meets well with other patients of a younger age. My experience with her for my mom was not favorable. When challenged , I got a message that we should be referred rather than deal with the challenge at hand. If you have an elderly parent or relative I don't believe this is her specialty and she appears to not like to be questioned. One must always advocate for their loved ones but not this hard.

Dr. Galanes is an excellent internist and diagnostician. Although I have a different primary care doctor, I have seen her 2 or 3 times over the past couple of years, and she has been spot on with her assessments and diagnosis of my medical issues. She takes the time to listen to my concerns during our visits, and, in one case, assured me that my fear of a recurrence of pneumonia was unfounded. Highly recommend.

I just spent time with Dr. Galanes checking on my 84 year old mother as her primary care physician after she had a hip replacement 3 weeks ago and was feeling light headed periodically. Dr. Galanes gave her a thorough check up and was very knowledgeable taking to the time to explain what she was doing, the results of the blood work, the probable reasons for the episodes, and her overall progress in recovery. She took the time and displayed a warm, friendly, level of care for her patient rarely seen anymore. I am very thankful to have her looking after our mother.

I had never been seen in this office before and the only medical records on file were reports from an ER visit and an urgent care visit (more than a week before). Galanes was reviewing those records as she came in the room. She immediately told me all the tests were fine and the only thing wrong with me was that I was overweight. Nevermind the page long list of symptoms in my hand that I had been experiencing for previous month that prompted me to become a patient at this office in the first place. She had her mind made up about me before she even set eyes on me. Never did get through my new patient visit......she told me to come back in two weeks when I was less worked up over everything. I made an official complaint which is being reviewed by the physician manager.
