Jeffrey Gagliano's Online Review Report Card

Dr Gagliano is terrific. My son fractured his patella skiing at Eldora. Dr Gagliano’s office got him in immediately for a consultation, MRI the next day, surgery the next, back on the sports field 8 wks later. Dr Gagliano’s responsiveness combined with his pedigree and experience are unmatched.

After a difficult elbow injury from a cycling accident, Dr. Gagliano repaired everything and I now have full use of my arm again. I could not have had a better outcome and highly recommend him.

Dr. Gagliano was the on call Dr. at the BCH ER in April 2022 and he got me in for surgery in 8 days for a broken clavicle that was apparently out of the ordinary. Surgery was a very smooth experience. The bone healed up quickly and the scar is not bad, all signs that the Dr. did excellent work and I am grateful for it. I blew through physical therapy and I'm well on my way to full strength. I would fully trust the Dr. for any other surgical work. -cc

Dr. Gagliano has been my doctor for several years. He first was my surgical doctor for a badly broken hip. I very much appreciated, not only his surgical skill, but his follow up for four months after the surgery. Subsequently, I suffered another, less serious break on another limb, which was operated on by a different surgeon. Though the surgical site healed, it remained painful. I went back to Dr. Gagliano, rather than the second surgeon, to see what could be done. After x-raying the site, Dr. Gagliano identified the source of the pain, said it could require another surgery, but laid out a non-invasive course first. Six weeks, later, my second surgical site had improved significantly, and Dr. Gagliano released me. He said to come back if I should find pain at a later time. I very much appreciated ALL of the care Dr. Gagliano provided, his careful explanations and his willingness to "watch" a condition before suggesting more surgery immediately

On October 7, 2021, I was involved in a head-on collision. I had a broken back, broken neck, broken sternum, open compound ankle fracture and open compound elbow fracture. I also had 11 broken ribs, fractured left clavicle, broken fingers and more. I am so grateful to be alive, and a large part of that I owe to Dr. Gagliano and Dr. Werth and their incredible surgical skills. As a team, they performed an extensive 5-hour surgery on October 10 (on a Sunday!), and I followed up with multiple visits at their Boulder office. I went from a wheelchair to a hemi-walker to a cane and now can walk unassisted. I'm gaining full range of motion in my elbow and hand. Dr. Gagliano and his staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Without the amazing expertise and care from Dr. Gagliano and Dr. Werth, it is highly likely that I would be a double amputee! I am so grateful for their care not only at Boulder Community Hospital, but also in the follow-up visits at their practice.

This guy lied to police about an accident his wife caused to me!!!

This event occurred in a Friday july 23 at approx 3pm Please see my review of BCH as this is related since DR gagliano was the oncall. Overall rude, condescending, not empathetic! After waiting almost 3 hrs to be discharged from the BCH ER, I was able to speak to Dr g. In a very rude tone loud voice after stating to the medical assistant who I was, " who is this???" When I told him who I was and he was discharging me? I told him the pa said I may have a torn quad tendon and what was his plan?" He told me I don't know until I see it, check with the front to make an appointment and asked me what insurance I had" I was stunned, I called my wife and friends in Denver and we proceeded to find a orthopedic clinic that was open on Saturday weekend and was able to see a dr in highlands ranch who scheduled me for immediate surgery in the following Wednesday! As a sidenote it was apparent both by palpitation, inability to lift the leg and X-rays it was a rupture ( the extent, No MRI was ordered) this was evidenced by the initial first responders to include myself as a former EMT-A that this would require surgery. After my phone conversation and upon Receiving care from a more renowned and empathetic surgeon in highlands ranch did I cancel my appointment and chose to seek my care elsewhere. upon cancellation, I did receive a VM from dr g's PA which was obviously done to document that this patient was seeking care elsewhere.

Dr. Gagliano wasted 3 months of my life and $2000 of my money sending me all over creation for opinions that had nothing to do with my complaint. I told him I KNEW my hamstring was detached yet he would not MRI or Xray that area. Finally when I told him I was getting frustrated he said "well if you like I can open you up and dig around in there and see if I can find something to fix." I told him we were done, found a better surgeon, got my MRI and am now 3 months post op and totally out of pain. He is rude, dismissive, has the worst bedside manner and appears to have a God complex. Run (if you can) away from him and this practice.

I lucked out. Dr Gagliano was in the ER as on-call when I came in with a broken leg. He has taken the time to build the trust you hope from a DR. We tried to heal the leg manually and when that didn’t work went into surgery. I would recommend this DR to anyone that want the opinion that is the best for their life.

Can't speak for his skills as a surgeon, because I quickly sought a second opinion. Dr. Gagliano has zero bedside manner, didn't even greet us when he walked in the room. He came across as arrogant, dismissive and belittling. Not acceptable! His office and website are outdated. Hard pass.
