I have seen Dr Galapo several times over the past few years. So has my adult daughter. He is and always has been very caring and extremely helpful. He is very intelligent generally and medically. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs his help. Do not go to him if you are drug seeking. Do go to him if you need help with your pain.

He doesn’t care. He is short tempered and has a nasty attitude

Its true. Dr.Galapo is under investigation. I was interviewed for over 45 minutes by govt officials from Trenton NJ about him. THEY came to ME! I recorded the entire interview. I hope he goes to court and i get called to be a witness. I hope he gets locked up and he finally gets what he deserves... And How does Holy Reedeemer Hospital allow him to continue his practice?... Interesting

If you think that the patient's that gave him one star are junkies, then you should see how he treats new staff. The room that some of his staff work in is so small you would hope they all took a shower. The man has no empathy or sympathy for staff or patients except for the long time employees, which can't even get along. Turnover rate in that place is unacceptable. He maybe a good doctor but no way a good business man.

I’ve been on opioids for OVER a year HATE the side effects and have asked to get weaned off the last 6 months and I keep getting one excuse after another! First it was like pulling teeth to get something NOW I JUST WANT TO BE DONE! Kick backs are more important! Dry, arrogant, emotionless, it’s ALL ABOUT THE MONEY, not your health! But we have safe zones in Philly & now I understand why, it starts with the pills....??
