Report
I had L5-S1 with Dr. Gallo on Dec 16th and the anesthesiologist was Adam. Adam was an absolute nightmare.
Adam got me mixed up with another patient and while I was waiting for surgery and getting prepped kept asking me why I was late and swore up and down we had talked the day before about coming in earlier at 11:00am. I never got a call from him. I had missed a call while on my way from Anne, saying they were ahead of schedule and could probably get me in earlier than my 1230pm check in time, so to just come on in when I get there. She verbally instructed my husband and I also have a voice

I had S1L5 PLIF done with Dr Miller in July. I am very happy with his surgical skills and my scar is so small and pretty. He is a surgeon.. they are evaluating you from a mechanical view not a social emotional view. He is quick and to the point but my husband and I really enjoy talking with him. He truly does care just not going to coddle you.

I saw dr Miller the staff was friendly and my surgery was scheduled shortly after my consultation for a C4-5 disk replacement. Surgery went great extremely clean incision and heald nicely. I did find Dr. Miller to be a serious person not all jokes and takes his work very serious I did not find him to be all that warm but I was looking for a surgeon to fix my neck not a life coach to cheer me up or give me a pep talk. I recommend him 10/10

Dr Miller didn't seem at all interested in trying to help me.I SUGGESTED possibly getting cortisone shots for my lower back. He agreed and would schedule appt . Waited 3 weeks no appt so called and very rude gal told me my insurance would not cover. She didn't even try because I would have received a response from my ins co. This place SUCKS
