Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Been receiving treatment for 2+ years. Recently had a detached retinna with complications, fantastic surgeon & knowledge for treating an unusual condition..

Dr. Gallemore is definitely running an assembly line operation. His waiting room is always full & my visits ranged from 2.5 - 3 hrs. When he'd finally arrive to the exam room, he would not even acknowledge me, or make eye contact. He'd walk directly to the charts on the wall. While he was cold and calculating, he managed to throw out a "God bless" as he rushed out to see the next patient. He was highly insensitive in delivering terrible news to me, even in the presence of my 11 year old daughter. After 3 months he finally figured out what my problem was. I was medically fine, but going through the experience with him as my doctor was emotionally stressful and honestly, traumatic.

Office does not and will not prescribe glasses, which I didn't know in advance, as this was the primary reason I went. Excessively long wait to see doctor, almost three hours.

Horrible experience at Dr. Gallemore's office this afternoon. Due to the excessive overbooking of appointments, many patients (myself included) faced a nearly 3-hour wait to see the doctor for a 3-minute consultation. This was my first and will be my last visit. Avoid by all means!

I have seen Dr Gallemore for my eyes, and he is a great eye doctor. I've been seeing him for a couple of years know. And I will be staying with him because he is the best. I thank God for him and his workers because they are the best. John S.

Dr. Gallemore identified an ocular nevis after I went in to be seen for a flashing light and floaters. I’ve now been going to this busy, but efficient office every six months since late 2017.

I recently saw Dr. Gallemore for macula degeneration highly recommended by my eye doctor, Dr. JoAnn Giaconi, at UCLA Jules Stein Eye Institute. Through many tests in his office in order to confirm that I need the treatment. He is a very good doctor!

I saw Dr. Gallemore several times a year for nearly 5-1/2 years and had three surgeries for retina problems, the last of which was never clearly explained to me. I had the same experience as one of the other reviewers: the average wait time was very long--in my case almost always at least 90 minutes, and at least once I noticed he did not change latex gloves between patients (previously he used hand sanitizer). The office is crowded, noisy, and unpleasant.

When I needed a 2nd opinion, Dr Gallemore was highly recommended by 2 different friends-- each of whom had had serious eye problems. I am mediately knew why. His caring, professional, and experienced approach to hearing my concerns was very reassuring. Due to this level of competence He is extremely busy, so he relies heavily on his well-trained staff for the more routine care which frees him for his most serious tasks. I am so happy I switch to his care.

Exam that should have taken 1 hour ended up at 2 1/2 hours. Dr. wore rubber gloves and did not change them between patients. Dr. spent less than 1 minute of time with me and that was for the injection of my eye and no time for any discussion of condition. I will not return for another appointment.
