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.

Excellent Physician
Dr. Gallego treated with the utmost dignity and respect while I was hospitalized several times at Queen of the Valley Hospital in 2022 with renal faliure and other debilitating medical conditions. He is a very caring and professional physician our community is very fortunate to have working for us. I am looking forward to being his patient in the upcoming year with an eye towards my road to healing and recovery...

I hold nothing but the highest regard for Dr. Gallego. Not only was he my mother's physician for the last 25 years until she passed away at age 103, but he is also my Primary Physician for the last 27 years. Dr. Gallego is extremely experienced and knowledgeable and really cares about his patients. I had several emergency incidences and was always able to reach him immediately and received quick responses. His staff is always very friendly, helpful and courteous. Dr. Gallego is very thorough, listens and patiently explains the problem which is so appreciated and valued. If needed, comes up with a recommendation or resolve. In addition, he is highly regarded in the medical field. I can highly recommend Dr. Gallego to anyone. R. Ortega

“Everybody at Dr. Gallego's clinic was amazing, and kind, it was awesome. The doctor and procedure was very good. They opened my veins and I’m thankful. Ive had cold legs for so long, and the next morning my legs were warm, and I haven’t felt warm legs in a long time. I am very happy.” “I’ve never had an amazing doctor like Dr. Claudio Gallego, he has been amazing with all the procedures he has set up for me to do, and how important they have been. His professionalism and kindness are appreciated.” Mr. Ted Sanchez

Dr. Gallego was a blessing to my family, His medical advice and care for my grandmother Eva Madrid was extraordinary. My grandmother was with a previous nephrologist that gave us no hope, so I searched for a doctor and read a lot of good reviews about Dr. Gallego and scheduled with him and from that day forward my grandma started to feel better and like herself. Dr. Gallego stopped a lot of her medications and started a new regimen. Dr. Gallego started my grandma on dialysis and had his staff take care and treat her as if she was family. My grandma felt better every time she left dialysis center. I highly recommend Dr. Gallego and his staff! We trust Dr. Gallego with my grandma's life. I thank Dr. Gallego for helping us spend more special moments and time with my grandma!

Dr. Gallego and his staff are amazing! It is so difficult to find a physician who not only is a great physician but also has a caring and considerate bedside manner. Dr. Gallego has both. He has taken great care of my mom and even calls her and I at home when she is not doing well. He orders all the appropriate tests and treatments and cares for my mom like she is part of his family. I have mostly spoken to Maria in the office, and she is great! She is so helpful, on the ball and is also kind and sweet. If you need a kidney specialist, look no farther. I am an RN, and Dr. Gallego is the best in my book!

Delighted about his concern, not only with my kidneys but other medical conditions as well. He himself is willing to answer questions very patiently and thoroughly. In summary, he makes my visit a real pleasure. He gives warm and compassionate advice.

Dr Galegos is very thorough with exams, treatment (if needed), continued care, and follow ups. He is sincere, direct, and shows genuine concern with patients health and goes out of his way to advise the appropriate doctors in your network of any health issue noticed in your lab work results and during office visits
