Dr. John Galeno, MD

This guy! Fughettaboutit!!! The best! I read some of these reviews and laugh. This guy is not your grandmother. He's not going to tell you it's going to be okay and kiss you on the head. After seeing two other surgeons that denied to do my surgery because of The risks to there reputation. But if I don't do them I will not walk. After he reviewed my case, he was very confident that everything was going to go well. So I'm very confident with this doctor and comfortable. When he seen the special characteristics of my case. He recommended to have a colleague surgeon work with him on me which I agreed to. People this is not changing a car tire. This is working on a human body created by God. Although all our bodies are very similar, we are all very different and respond different so outcomes may be different. With that being said, I trust in God and trust in Galeno. Surgery is scheduled in a month. I will update my review after surgery.

I’ve been going to Dr Galeno for the last 8 years from 2012-2020. He's done all 5 of my spine surgeries which Did not help. He rushes you I’ve timed my appointments and he’s spent as little as 2 minutes with me and that was it ( no exaggeration) I needed him to fill out papers for My disability which I called and faxed and after a month he said he never got them and that they were probably sitting in a pile of papers on his desk. If you are looking for a kind compassionate doctor he is not the doctor for you.

Scheduling an appointment is a nightmare. Cant get anyone on the phone, messages not returned. when I finally did get someone on the phone, couldn't get an apt for almost 2 months. Then the 2x i did go, i was kept waiting 45-75 min. Hadn't even looked at my MRI prior to my apt. Didn't answer my questions/concerns, spent 5 minutes or less in the room and walked away while I was asking questions. Put me on a med that is dangerous for me cuz he didn't bother looking over my history !!

He's amazing!!! Kind, informative, takes his time and explains everything! Honest and has a great bedside manner. There's no one else I would trust, I even take my children to him bc he gets how it is especially when it's your child and your so concerned as a patent.
