Report
I had a three-view x-ray of my foot and I was never shown the results during my visit. Its as if they were never taken. Moreover, the "doctor" did not speak to the findings of the x-rays nor offer any information that would be helpful to alleviate a painful and constant discomfort in my right foot. Not the kind of care one would expect. Truly distressing.

Do not use this provider, I was contacted by a collection agency in regards to an outstanding bill with this provider. I have no knowledge of this provider at all, but what I can see is that there are six (6!) out of 40 total reviews mentioning in-practical or fraudulent billing practices. Clearly this constitutes a pattern.

My wife's severly ingrown nails were handeled very well. Dr. Galle is skilled, efficient, and personable. He clearly explained the procedure and provided excellent follow up. His office staff is pleasant and helpful. Very much recommended.

Report
My experience with this office has been, good, caring treatment from Dr. Melillo. Unfortunately there is a breakdown in communication between his office staff and patient. Last fall I had a procedure done in Newberg at the request of Dr. Melillo. Never heard back what my results were. After two weeks I started calling asking what my results were, after several calls and promises to call back with results, after at lest a month I made an appointment hoping to find out the results. All this time in pain.
Now, I received a statement dated 1-14-21 for a balance due. I had paid the balance back on
