John Galeno's Online Review Report Card

I give the Doc 5 stars but the Hospital he works with 1 star. I travel far 2+ hrs each way with severe pain and nerve damge to be treated by Dr Galeno because he listens and works with me to fix the problem.

Dr. Galeno completely messed up my moms back 10x worse than it was before she went to him. So many things wrong with his surgery and professionalism. Glad to hear he’s not doing medicine anymore, obviously was never qualified in the first place.

This man saved my life and has helped me tremendously in the years since my accident.

Dr Galeno did all 5 of my back surgeries starting at age 21 until my last at age 26. I would not Recommend him due to his bedside manner. He never came to see me in the hospital after my surgeries and in 7 years as his patient he’s never once returned a phone call or spoken to me on the phone. He spends the bare minimum time with you I have timed my appointments and they’ve been as short as 2 minutes (I wish I was kidding). After 7 years I stopped seeing him not only because my back issues got worse with each surgery but because of his rudeness and entitlement. He perceives himself as a big shot because he’s well known in the hospitals.

Scheduling an appointment is a nightmare. Cant get anyone on the phone, messages not returned. when I finally did get someone on the phone, couldn't get an apt for almost 2 months. Then the 2x i did go, i was kept waiting 45-75 min. Hadn't even looked at my MRI prior to my apt. Didn't answer my questions/concerns, spent 5 minutes or less in the room and walked away while I was asking questions. Put me on a med that is dangerous for me cuz he didn't bother looking over my history !!

I’ve been going to Dr Galeno for the last 8 years from 2012-2020. He's done all 5 of my spine surgeries which Did not help. He rushes you I’ve timed my appointments and he’s spent as little as 2 minutes with me and that was it ( no exaggeration) I needed him to fill out papers for My disability which I called and faxed and after a month he said he never got them and that they were probably sitting in a pile of papers on his desk. If you are looking for a kind compassionate doctor he is not the doctor for you.
