Hard to believe Dr. Gali would get less than 5 stars from anybody! He is a terrific doctor. Both my daughter (now 22) and son (now 16) had/have Dr. Gali as their pediatrician and he has been wonderful. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and takes the time to answer all of our questions. If there is an urgent situation, his fantastic staff always finds a way to get us booked in a timely manner and they are super responsive when requesting documents/records and such. In 22 years I have never had a negative experience with him or his staff. Just wonderful.

All the reviews are what sent me here but to be honest with you, I feel like they are hyped up. Or maybe Dr Gali acts like another person with each patient? Haha
From the start, I felt like Dr Gali was tired of his job. He never really smiled...He seemed slow to answer my questions but in a way that felt awkward. I never felt super comfortable speaking with him or asking certain things as he never really smiled or assured me of anything. In a way I felt like he treated me like I should have known the answers to my questions and I am a new mom. Although I don't think he's a horrible

We did a lot of research before picking our pediatrician including several interviews and meet and greets with other candidates. We are so happy we found Dr. Gali, Our kids feel very comfortable around him and they think he's really funny! We relocated and left for another pediatrician for a short amount of time and ended up coming back to him because he was so great! My son has been seeing him for 9 years, not sure what we will do if he retires.

Dr. Gali has seen our three kids since they were young children all the way through high school. He's a wonderful warmhearted doctor who listens to all of our concerns and offers superb insight and medical direction. His new location in Los Gatos is close by and the staff is friendly.

Dr. Gali is the best! We've been with him for well over 18 years. He is the kind of doctor that calls you at home to make sure everything is okay. He is calm, professional, and very nice. All 3 of my boys love him!

Dr. Gali has been my kids' pediatrician since 2000. I have four kids and feel fortunate to have been referred to him by my OBGYN. He was there when three of my kids were born and has helped us through many scrapes, bruises, runny noses and even a hospital stay. His rapport with kids is excellent. He is warm, caring, and knows his craft. The best quality of Dr. Gali is that he makes kids and parents smile and feel at ease with his subtle humor and his "frog" collection (he has a few in each exam room and one on his stethoscope...don't worry, they're not alive, just

Where do I even start? There isnt a thing we do not like about this Office. Doctor Gali has been our son's doctor for almost ten years now. He is so calm, always kind. He will give your child what she needs but doesnt overprescribe. Doctor Gali does not talk kid-talk to our son , Which he loves. And so do I. My Son feels comfortable asking questions , always likes seeing Dr. Gali and we never feel rushed. One day when my son was way younger, he had a checkup and stood there in his undies, next to the wall, being all wiggly, like 5 year olds can be. Doctor Gali was smiling, walked over
