Dr. Edward Gabalski, MD

Dr. Galbaski treated my son for Thyroid Cancer. He took the time to carefully explain the options we had for treatment, the procedures involved for each procedure and the specific steps we must take to move forward. He and his staff were happy to return our calls to address questions and concerns. He stayed close to the case for the 9 month period it took to complete my son's treatment, even when the treatment had to move from his practice to another. I am very grateful to him for his support throughout the process and I would recommend him to anyone who required a head and neck surgeon.

Arrived for an 11:30 AM appointment and at 12:15 was told he is running behind,after waiting another half an hour I finally left without seeing him.After getting home and reading the reviews I am glad I left without seeing him.

Dr Gabalski made me feel super confident in him! He was so informative and made me feel at ease with him. His knowledge of my condition was impressive!

I had A Total Thyroidectomy in 2022 and my daughter had Tonsillectomy in 2023.Not only that he is a fantastic doctor but he takes his time explaining every aspect of the surgery, making you feel safe.After surgery he promptly contacts your loved ones to let them know the outcome of the procedure.I highly recommend Dr Gabalski.

This doctor was awesome. When my husband had surgery, he came out right away to tell me how everything went. He is very thorough and really listens to you and has a great bedside manner! Dr Gabalski is the best!

Back in 2021 during the second half of my senior year of high school, I had a case of chronic streptococcal tonsillitis. When I came to him and described my 4 and a half month ordeal, he instantly deduced that strep had made a home in my tonsils which explained why it was never killed despite not being resistant to any of the antibiotics I was taking. He came to the conclusion that the only way for me to become healthy again was to get the tonsils pulled. I had the surgery on July 2nd and he went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. On the way home from the hospital he called my dad to make sure I was alright and he even called me several times during the recovery process when I was home laying low. Thanks to his expertise and the tonsillectomy, I now get sore throats only once a year from a virus. I no longer get them every month like back in senior year of high school during 2020-2021. I totally recommend Dr. Gabalski. He’s a TRUE legend!

The man has no bed side manner. He proceeded to go on a five minute tirade about how he was not satisfied with the company I work for and their quality of images and how he was unhappy they took over another imaging facility. Told me to get imaging elsewhere. He accused me of looking or wanting a serious disease or diagnoses. When telling him my symptoms and pain have greatly increased over the last 5-6 yrs he said well your not dead right? Means it's nothing bad. Also, that he himself doesn't feel the same he did 6 years ago due to age. This is why women are misdiagnosed @ higher rate than men. He at one point said I offended him for saying that I feel like drs aren't listening to me and dismissing my issues and that they just want to mask them with pain management. I do nt want to take random medicines, i want to find the cause of the problems and symptoms I am experiencing not mask them. He also alluded to my weight, nit even knowing I lost 30lbs and still worsening symptoms

Rude obnoxious combative unprofessional! Saw Dr G. for vertigo. He said if treatment doesn't work come back. I was back 3 days later for an 11:45. Waited 1 hour+35 min with a fractured arm and leg with in a waiting room filled with people and COVID running rampant. In my 5 minutes with Dr. G. he rudely REFUSED to repeat the Epley maneuver, tells me I can do it at home myself! Refers me to New Hyde Park office but I can't drive due to multiple fractures (which he knew from my 1st appt). When I asked, "what do you think is causing the vertigo?" I was VERBALLY ASSAULTED accused of wanting a quick fix! I said, "excuse me-you don't know me-I simply want to know what causes vertigo. My son is a DR. at YALE and suggested repeating the Epley maneuver." He goes to get an rx comes back and apologizes for being "short" with me and he would've never had me come back for this! But I'm certain he'll bill my insurance cowho I will also be calling next to report.

Initial 15 minute visit costs over $1300?!?!! I expect to pay $250-$300 for an office visit, but if you are going to charge patients over $1300 for an initial visit, you need to warn them!

My son has been under Dr. Gabalski care for 13 years and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Gabalski has been amazing and patient with my son whom was not a great patient when younger. He has always gone the extra mile to make sure my son was comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Gabalski.

I give Dr Gabalski my highest recommendation. He is a very professional, knowledgeable and compassionate physician. Throughout my cancers and hearing issues he has been accurate with his diagnosis, advice and treatments. He has always given me just what I am looking for in a doctor. I have full confidence in Dr Gabalski.

Saw Dr. Gabolski for a left ear issue after having to wait 4 weeks for an appointment He gave me a prescription for a hearing test which I took, but I'm still waiting for him to follow up with me on the results now several weeks later. I called his office twice more the last two Mondays and left a message each time asking that he return my call, i.e. follow up with me! Still waiting......

Making my last review more informative. He is Excellent. My 4 year old had tonsillectomy/Adenoidectomy at Cohen’s Children’s Hospital. Dr. Gabalski was my sons surgeon. He is very thorough, warm, attentive and spent more than the recommended time any doctor should have, explaining procedures and after care instructions.

Highly recommend. Great w/ children, thorough, warm and very attentive. Love him!

Not anyone that I would recommend. He saw my Family relative for less than 30 minutes and charged her $789.00 through her insurance. He provided his recommendation based on what he examined as well as instructions on next steps and never followed up or had his Office call back to respond to next steps. He is been doing this too long and is a perfect example of what is wrong with this Health Care System. Making an appointment is the only to speak to him, but he will charge you again!

I would never recommend this doctor to anyone that I cared about. I am extremely upset and immediately sent my records to a different doctor. Please be advised this doctor does not return phone calls. While dealing with a sensitive situation he was completely numb to patient's feelings. Waiting over a week for results on a scan – left numerous messages which went unanswered. I actually had to switch doctors because he wouldn't get back to us!

I was extremely fortunate that I took my 13 year old son to see Dr. Gabalski. Dr. Gabalski examined him and suspected he had a very rare tumor called JNA. He suggested an MRI which confirmed his suspicion and referred him to an amazing Dr.at Lenox Hills Hospital. Dr. Gabalski called me at home that night and asked me to call him if I needed anything. He did help me when I needed something important. He is honest and extremely knowledgeable in his field.

I had a very bad experience with this dr, I went there suffering from sinus infections, and ear problems, he insulted me and said I needed to lose weight, so I said I've lost weight, then he said well you have alot more to go, I left crying and told girls at desk I will not be coming back, I thought that was extremely rude, I was there for my sinus problems, not a weight consult,
