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.

Gave wrong diagnosis
Dr. Gal gave the wrong diagnosis. He said my husband had cancer and when I had the report sent to Memorial Sloan Kettering it turned out that there was no malignancy. He was extremely rude when spoke to me. When my son, a lawyer, called him, he was full of pleasantries, and explained I that I have an accent”. Never had an accent problem with any doctor, and I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology from a New York University

Very pleased with the care
Very thorough and explained all the findings and course of action so I could understand. Finally a GI doctor WHO LISTENED. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED. I will be seeing him in a month to see how things are going after the changes made. I’ve seen many GI docs over the last 29 yrs and I think dr Gal is one of the best.

I was in ER at St Francis. I needed a gastro doc to do a surgery and Dr Gal was assigned. The surgery was documented as a failure due to the patients non-perfect anatomy. He called my wife and updated her on the surgery and my anatomy. Very unprofessional. Highly do not recommend this doctor.

Dr. Gal appeared uncaring and had poor follow through in my case. He did not return calls in a timely manner nor did he provide appropriate follow up results of tests performed.
