Mark W Galland's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Galland performed my knee replacement and I couldn’t be happier. He and his staff are the best. They really care He did my second knee due to an injury and I never questioned who I would go to for the repair.

He is an excellent surgeon, and listens while you talk.....very good doctor

Dr. Galland is awesome. He has the best bedside manner of any doctor I’ve ever met. He has treated my knee pain that I’ve dealt with for years, which I barely have an issue with now.

Not a good experience. Dr. Galland was far more interested in impressing his young assistant than communicating with me regarding my orthopedic issue. My visit statement reflected items that did not occur during my visit. Said I was hypertensive but the BP cuff was not used properly by the assistant. Took my records and went elsewhere - and guess what? the surgery his office claimed I needed turned out was not the case.

Dr Galland did knee replacements on both my knees. I was playing golf 8 weeks later and couldn't be more pleased. I'm thinking of having him do my hip next even though it is over a 4 hour drive to get there. I'd rather stay in a hotel for a couple weeks while recovering than have anyone but him cut me open.

Dr. Galland has the best bedside manner I've ever seen. He is an expert at what he does. All the knee replacements I have ever seen resulted on the long incision with staples. Mom's incision was so..little and is fading away. Go to the best if you need surgery

Our experience with this Doctor was poor. He offered a procedure and we asked how much and he said it should be included in the Office Visit. It was not and we were on the hook for over a $100.00. His response was "I don't do billing" Second he was very positive it would help. It did not. Third we felt it was a rushed appointment with, in our opinion an insufficient work up. We went to Duke which is where we should have gone in the first place. MRI is ordered. Our opinion Go to Duke.

If you need radial wrist surgery, I recommend to see a hand surgeon and NOT Dr. Mark Galland at Orthopedic Specialists of NC. After breaking my wrist from rollerblading with my kids, he performed surgery on my wrist that involved adding a plate and screws to fix the breaks. After a few months, it seemed there was constant swelling on the top of my hand. I finally got tired of dealing with it and went back in to see Dr. Galland about why this was happening. He said it was a cyst and drained it the same day. About a month later, I started getting a lot of soreness in my wrist after brief sudden pain. I went back to see the PA, and after reviewing the x-rays and not seeing anything wrong with the hardware, she instructed me to put my palm down toward my wrist and massage the tendon on and around my wrist to see if that helped the soreness. A week later, the tendon in my index finger ruptured, and I could not hold my index finger in line with the others. I was referred to a hand surgeon to fix the ruptured tendon. The hand surgeon had an x-ray taken where my fingers were pointed down toward my wrist and immediately saw the screw sticking up above the bone that caused the tendon to rupture. He said he would have cut the screws a little shorter if he had done the surgery because he has seen this sort of thing happen many times. And if I had reported soreness in my wrist at some point after surgery, he would have taken the hardware out immediately. If Orthopedic Specialists of NC had done this extra x-ray during surgery or at the very least, when I reported soreness in my wrist, they would have seen the screw extending above the bone, and I would not have to deal with a ruptured tendon. I hope they have changed their standard procedures for situations like this so this does not happen to anyone else.

Dr Galland knows his business! He is a terrific orthopaedic surgeon. He has done a number of surgeries on me and that is why I can get around as good as I can. I highly recommend Dr Galland for any problems anyone has with any of the bones!

First visit and other than a few min late, Doc was great, answered all questions and have plan in place for rotator cuff
