Meet Dr. Galea

Satisfied Patients

“The cohesiveness and positive energy between staff members was genuine and palpable. They thanked each other often and smiled at each other! Real smiles, not those fake ones HR demands of unhappy work places. The efficiency was top notch....No one seemed rushed one bit, all had time to listen to everything I had to say. They even took time to answer my every question. Dr. Galea was not only remarkably compassionate, but also extremely thorough to learn all he could about my long rheumatoid arthritis history.  It was the best new patient experience with any doctor's office in my life. It was well worth the 3 hr drive. I can hardly wait for my future appointments!"

“Dr. Galea is the BEST doctor I've ever had. He spends time listening to his patients and treats them as individuals not "numbers". In this day and age, he is a doctor who still stops to actually talk to the patient. Though the office wait can sometimes be frustrating, that's a small price to pay for the undivided attention he provides during the office visit. The office staff has always been helpful and while scheduling a routine physical might take a month/two out, they will work you in immediately if you are experiencing a real health issue. I have found his knowledge of arthritis, fibromyalgia and polyarthralgia are exceptional and his ability to diagnose other health issues "right on". His waiting room is filled with people who have been patients for YEARS and would never think to go elsewhere. It's a blessing to find such an educated, informed, caring and dedicated doctor."

“I was beyond pleased with the entire staff. When Dr. Galea came in the room, he made me feel very comfortable about sharing with him things that I might would have waited after a visit or two but it only helped him understand me as a patient and just a person in general. That is the only way he can treat me properly anyway. Everyone was extremely knowledgeable about the conditions I am dealing with so it was a thorough and pretty quick visit. Didn't wait very long at all. A pleasant experience overall. Thanks very much."
