John M. Galla

Dr. Galla saved my life!!!

Heart attack victim that was well treated by Dr. Galla and staff at Spring Hill hospital

Explained health issues very well and took time to listen.

In May, 2020 I was diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis and referred to Dr. John Galla by Cardiology Associates in Foley. He discussed the necessary TAVR procedure with me in terms that I understood and I had total confidence in him. I was the 500th TAVR patient when he performed the procedure. Throughout the procedure, he and his team kept my spouse fully informed and encouraged her to call him on his personal phone if necessary. The next day I was released from Springhill having received the TAVR and a pacemaker in one day. Dr. Galla and his team did an outstanding job diagnosing, performing the procedure, and responding to an unforeseen emergency requiring a pacemaker. This recommendation is being written 3 weeks after my release and I am now active, exercising, and looking forward to a long healthy life. I've heard that old soldiers never die; they just fade away but this old soldier got a TAVR and pacemaker and carries on. I would recommend Dr. John Galla in a heartbeat!!

This was my first visit with Dr Galla following surgical test to look at my aortic valve. I was relieved when I was told I did not need a replacement now. This Follow up visit was reassuring because I felt very confident with him and he gave me the signs of what to watch for and how to reach him directly if I needed him. I felt the care I could receive closer to home was as good as Other locations that do the TAVR procedure. It was one of the best physician- patient interactions I have ever experienced.

My mom was becoming very sick and was being treated for COPD/asthma. After treatment for those did not make her better, her lung doctor referred her to Dr. Galla, thinking her symptoms were stemming from a heart issue and not a lung issue. Dr. Galla diagnosed her with aortic stenosis and, subsequently, performed the TAVR procedure on her. It’s been a little over a month since her surgery, and she is doing great! We give God the glory, and we are very thankful to Dr. Galla and Dr. Randy Dotson for their excellent care.

Excellent doctor and good communicator. He gave my 86 year old Dad a new heart valve using new technology that improved his quality of life without extensive surgery. He sat down with our family and explained all the procedures and answered our questions. We are grateful for a doctor that keeps up with new technology. Highly recommend.

Dr Galla took extremely good care of my 86 year old Dad giving him a new heart valve and a new good quality of life. He took a lot of time with the family explaining the procedures and answered all of questions. Down to earth and an excellent doctor. We are thankful for this new innovative surgery and appreciate the doctor that is willing to stay up with new technology.

He’s keep grand dad going for the past 10 or so years. My grand dad will turn 87 in October 2019. Highly recommend Dr Galla.

Always discusses any questions you have and answers right away. So considerate and gave me his cell phone to text whenever I have concerns and answers right away. Love ?? his way of doctoring I want to know everything up front and that’s what I get. Wouldn’t choose any other
