Gallini Marc R MD

Dr Gallini has been my doctor since I was a small child (decades ago BTW). He is ALWAYS friendly. I am very verbal and could talk one’s ear off. He always listens and makes solid suggestions. I now have children of my own and I really appreciate his patience. Despite the fact that he has been in practice for a few years (ahem *cough*) Dr. Gallini is very knowledgeable about current medical trends and changes.
Dr. Gallini is NOT a prescription pusher. If you’re wanting a doctor that will just do what you tell him/​her to do and give you a prescription… don’t see Dr. Gallini. He will only prescribe what he feels is most appropriate for the patient, IF anything is appropriate. He will not hesitate to tell you that what you have just has to run its’ course… in the nicest way possible. :o)
As with most doctors, if you have somewhere to be, make your appointment for first thing in the morning or the last appointment of the day. Dr. Gallini likes to talk with his patients, which has the potential negative side effect of always running a bit behind schedule. But I’ll take 10 – 15 minutes behind schedule over a doctor who rushes me through like a product on an assembly line.
If you need to make a routine appointment (physical, etc.) call the office as early as possible. Dr. Gallini’s schedule fills up REALLY quickly. It’s pretty common to make a yearly physical appointment 2 – 3 months out. That being said, though, I have been able to get more urgent issues seen much more quickly (sometimes even the same day.) Plan ahead when you can and cross your fingers when you can’t! ;o)
The office staff is, largely, good. There are several of the office ladies who have been there for awhile and know what’s going on. You’ll figure out who they are pretty quickly. There are also several positions that change personnel regularly. This seems to be true at many doctor’s offices. Just keep notes of who you talk to, date/​time, etc. JUST IN CASE you run into issues and need to reference your contact. But I think that’s just good practice in general.
OVERALL: The fact that I have been seeing Dr. Gallini since I was a small child and I now bring my own children to see him should speak volumes for what I think of this doctor. There are other doctor (s) in the practice with him, but I will only make my appointments with Dr. Gallini (unless we have some kind of HUGE child-​illness related issue and don’t have a choice.) He’s a good man who truly cares about his patients. I probably shouldn’t have told you about him… ;o)
