Dr. Galati could be the best hepatologist on the planet, but if no one answers the phone or responds to email or voice mail, what’s the point??? His staff is absolutely awful about follow up and any communication in general. The patient portal is useless. The staff is constantly passing the buck and blaming someone else in the office for not doing their job. I’ve seen Galati twice...during my intake appt. and when he did my endoscopy. I’ve dealt with NPs and medical assistants since. Initially Galati was great, and gave me hope and has helped me, but it’s been a frustrating downhill every day since. Hey coach, your team is dropping the ball! I’m afraid I’m going to start looking for a new hepatologist who spends less time on Facebook and Instagram and more time with his patients and making sure his practice is run correctly.

Dr. Galati has been my doctor for over 15 years and I have always received excellent and compassionate care. He has continued to care for me since my liver transplant in 2008. He is an advocate and is top in his field. I would highly recommend him!

Very pleasant staff. Called me the day before to prepare me for my visit with Dr. Galati. Small wait. But I would guess it comes with the acuity of patients. They took their time with me which provided comfort as I was very worried about my liver.

The negative reviews below are very accurate. I had the same experience. After the first visits they take the money and run with no feedback on your results and they postpone all future visits.

You don't hear back from your doctor's office regarding your results. Even if they look okay, they should provide them if it is requested. I requested my lab results (from May) in June, August, and September for 3times, no response. If they are not communicating with patients, what is the purpose of having a patient portal?

You only get to see Dr Galati ONE time. The rest you only see a nurse. I think Dr Galati cares for the money ?? more than his patients. Dr Galati sends lab work to his own lab which is GALA Pathology/GALA Histology. He does not care if it’s out of network because if the insurance doesn’t pay everything he makes the patient pay!

Dr Galati cares deeply for his patients. He communicates this concern and exudes confidence in his ability to help with your particular illness. I trust him. He commands the most up to date research and remedies. I recommend Dr Galati in the strongest way.

My patient went there first time. She was told that she will Dr. Galati only once. After that the PA will take over. That is unacceptable. I am not sure why doctors are getting lazy! White coat and stethoscope does not make you a good provider. It is the history taking skills and connection between it and the well trained brain that makes a real doctor a good doctor. Insist on real doctors only!

Yes I would always recommend Dr. Galati. He is the Best in his Area of Medicine. I have seen him for 17 years and tried several clinical trial medications to get curried of Hepatitis C. He help me along even though my dieses would not give in and die out. With Harvoni that he got me on I am now curried. An I have received a new liver by now and I saw him several times while in the Methodist Transplant facility. You cannot do any better that this facility or by going to Dr. Galati. His office st
