Dr. Galli was friendly and knew right away what was up with my foot. She explained what was wrong and fixed it quickly. Actually, everyone at the Core Institute was very friendly and helpful.

Review for Dr. Galli
Dr Galli and her assistant were both very friendly and personable. Her bedside manner was superb, as she sat down and took the time to explain my condition (and probable course of treatment) in great detail... making sure that I fully understood my condition before she left.
