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.

Dr. Galicich communicates well and this is very important to me.

I have had 2 back surgeries from Dr. Galicich. One was a laminectomy on L3, L4, L5 to improve pain/muscle spasms in my hamstring/ buttocks area of both legs due to spinal stenosis. This operation was extremely successful and within two weeks all pain and muscle spasms were gone. Recently got spinal fusion with screws/rods at the L4-L5 level as the pain kept me from walking more that 150 yards. 3 weeks after surgery I am walking up to 2 miles/day with little pain. Gifted neurosurgeon.

Dr. Galicich did my lower back surgery and it came out great. The pain in my back went from a 9 to a 2! Haven't felt this good in 40 years.

Dr. Galicich is behind the times with pituitary surgery and caused me much unneeded pain and suffering. There is an endonasal endoscopic technique that involves an Ent and Neurosurgeon that I encourage you to look into. It is minimally invasive. I wish someone would have told me before I trusted an "expert." Be your own advocate, even the bottom of the class is called doctor at the end of the day.

Dr. Galicich did a back surgery on me. He is so nice and easy to talk with. I am so impressed with the office of Neurosurgical Associates.
