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.
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.
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.
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.
Had emergency surgery because of drop foot. Mot only didn't fix it but told me I severed the nerve and would never be able to walk without a brace 3 months later my foot started moving again no thanks to him
Had four surgeries three spine.
Wonderful Doctor Covers all the bases and knowledgeable Puts me at ease and exudes confidence in his abilities Spends time with me and answers all my inquiries Down to earth personality
I have had a few cervical surgeries done by Dr. Galeno, before I was Refered to him over twenty years ago no one would touch me, he has helped me a great deal I would recommend him totally.
Dr. Galeno did several surgeries on my back. Each one helped tremendously. Yes I too waited a long time in the waiting room but, when he seen me I was given as much time as I needed and I was not rushed....so I did not mind waiting
Wait time averaged over 90 minutes for confirmed appointments. He operated on me twice within 18 months...laminectomy and discectomy...and was worse off than before.
Simply the best! look no further for better.
Very professional and Great Doctor and Surgeon
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 !!
Great Doctor and very professional.
He's amazing!!! Kind, informative, takes his time and explains everything! Honest and has a great bedside manner. There's no one else I would trust, I even take my children to him bc he gets how it is especially when it's your child and your so concerned as a patent.
I have been seeing Dr. Galeno for almost a year now. Every time I have an appointment I wait on average 2 hours! I have no input as to Dr. Galeno's skills as a surgeon but his office in Fishkill NY is very unorganized and rude! To expect a patient, many of whom have back problems, to sit and wait for hours is plain old wrong! Is this Obamacare, this doctor being greedy or a combination of both? I would strongly urge anyone looking for an Ortho doctor to go e!sewhere. Dr. Galeno is clearly too busy or just unethical!!
Rotten rotten dr.!
my first visit i had to wait about 40 minutes to see the doc. for my 2nd visit, i called just before i left home to ask if the doctor was running on time. fair question, right? the woman said "yes, yes" right away. i showed up on time, and then waited a full hour to see the doctor. why would the woman blatantly lie like that? the only thing i can think of is that the doctor instructed them to say that when someone calls. why would it hurt to tell me to come in 20 or 30 minutes later, saving me time. they obviously think the doc's time is far more important than mine. then, when the doc saw me, no apology or acknowledgement that i had to wait an hour. i agree with the other reviewers - they just seem to be interested in churning through patients with zero regard for wait times. it's just rude and disrespectful to patients.
THE OFFICE STAFF IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL VERY RUDE ALL OF YOUR INFORMATION IS YELLED WHERE THE WHOLE OFFICE CAN HEAR THE WAIT TIME IS 3-4 HOURS LONG WHICH IS RIDICULOUS AND AS FOR DOCTOR NOT VERY COMPASSIONATE DO NOT TAKE THE TIME TO REALLY EXPLAIN WHAT HE IS GOING TO BE DOING ON YOU AND ONLY CONCERN IS ALL ABOUT MONEY MORE THAN THE PATIENT I HAVE A BROKEN BACK NOW FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS AND I SIT AROUND IN PAIN DAY AND NIGHT AND HE WILL NOT PRESCRIBE ANYTHING . I DON'T THINK THAT IS SOMEONE WHO I WANT TO SURGERY ON ME AFTER SURGERY I MAY BE IN PAIN AND HE WON'T PRESCRIBE ANYTHING NOT ME SO FOR AS ME EXPERIENCE WITH THIS DOCTOR I GIVE HIM AND HIS STAFF 0 CREDIT.
