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.
Absolutely disappointing and very unprofessional. He refused to see my father only because the apt building has a buzzer to get in and it didnt work the first time!!! I understand he didnt want to "touch" the apt buzzer phone but as i was giving him another solution, he just said no Im not going in I already feel uncomfortable. Very unreasonable and unfair. Very unfortunate because my father had been looking forward to this appt.

My elderly mom had overgrown, ingrown toenails causing her a lot of discomfort. Dr. Galitzer is not cutesy or cold -- just professional and kind, exactly what I was hoping for for my mother. Highly recommended.

Dr. Galitzer was very accommodating and came right out to take care of my mother's feet. I was so happy to find someone to make a housecall as my mother is bedridden.

Dr Galitzer is absolutely wonderful. He came to our home and took great care of my 98 year old grandmother
He's patient and explained everything I didn't feel as though he was rushed and he showed genuine concern for her well being.... Thank you so much...

I highly recommend Dr. Galitzer to anyone who is looking for a "visiting" podiatrist. I only had to wait a day or two for an appointment for him to visit my mother, a diabetic who is at home on hospice. He arrived exactly when he said he would and took care of her problem painlessly in minutes. The whole process was much easier than I expected.

Dr. Galitzer was very responsive to an urgent foot problem of my family member. He spent time on the phone listening to the issue, and he scheduled an appointment to her within 48 hours. He also made a point of communicating with family members as the patient is elderly with dementia.

I came to Dr. Galitzer with a host of challenges with my feet, including incredible pain when walking. 3 months later, I know more about foot anatomy and my feet are feeling great! He was thorough, took time to listen to me, and the care he recommended worked. I'm very grateful to him.
