Joseph F Galate's Online Review Report Card

This doctor is absolutely fabulous!! Very knowledgeable and on point!! I was alittle skeptical reading some bad reviews on here but I'm so glad I decided to go anyway and see for myself. Please go and make your own judgment. I promise you won't regret it!! The office staff, nurse, and Dr. Galate are wonderful, caring and compassionate people!!

I have been dealing with a workman’s comp case since the beginning of September and Dr. Galate’s office has worked to find a solution to my pain. He never gave up and listened to my concerns and symptoms. The office was always quick to respond to any questions. They worked with my schedule to get me in for appointments. I had several injections with Dr. Greenfield and he was very kind and caring and took time to explain procedures. The staff worked to make sure I was comfortable and calm. Amy was great with communication and care during all of my injections. It has been a long journey over many months and they stuck with me until we found relief from my pain.

I saw Dr.Galate for severe shoulder pain I was experiencing. He ordered an arthroscopic MRI which included a shot into the shoulder. That shot was one of the most painful experiences I have had outside of child birth. When that MRI showed nothing - he ordered a 2nd one which he stated also showed nothing. He then inferred the pain was "all in my head". When my husband asked him what he planned to do about my should pain. Dr. Galate's reply (direct quote) was "what would you want me to do"?. His is easily the most incompetent physician we have encountered. His incompetence is exceeded only by his lack of compassion and sheer indifference to his patients. Avoid this "doctor" at all costs as you are wasting your time and money seeing him. Web MD will provide a better medical consultation and infinitely more compassion and humanity.

It was perfect. The Dr. is excellent as is his staff.

I was referred to this office by my PCP following an auto accident. When the office staff called me the first thing they said was, "we won't see you because it was a car accident, unless you pay out of pocket $625" My car insurance assured me that the bill would be covered, but the office staff still said they wouldn't see me unless I paid first. They never said anything about sorry you are hurting, just we want your money. I made an appointment, but cancelled it as soon as I found a caring office. When they asked why I was cancelling, I told them it was because of how rude they were over the phone. They had nothing to say.

Great doctor!

Went to see Dr. He gets paid by INS. And dont care about well being or pain. Only cares about getting you back to work fast as possible. Looks good to INS to get more patients sent to him. Worst Dr. For any injury hands down!

My wife went there today and left Dr Galate office crying. The man from what my wife told me, is very RUDE. I'm not going to write a novel on what happened, just be carefull if your choosing this doctor.

Gr. Galate is wonderfully thorough! He pulled up my scans in the office and discussed them with me personally. Showed me the issues and explained the procedure. After the 3rd visit and procedure he had his office call me to let me know that he noticed a issue with my kidney. We had already discussed it (the first visit) but he noticed it again today and wanted to be sure I knew about it. His bedside manner was so personable I recommed him to anyone with back issues.

Great experience going to Dr Galate made me feel comfortable and his staff was also very professional.
