Love Dr. Gala! Always recommending to family & friends!

Dr. Gala is excellent. He is friendly, kind and patiently listened to my concerns. He answered my questions thoughtfully. He included my husband in care discussions. I feel my care is personalized. I don't feel rushed but also receive clear and direct information to help make informed decisions. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Gala.

Dr. Gala is the best. Always so kind! My appointment had to be rescheduled and as soon as he walked in he apologized for the change - totally unnecessary because I understood, but it was so nice of him to acknowledge it
