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.

Dr. Galyanova is frank, matter-of-fact, and straight to the point. She takes your concerns seriously and provides good, efficient care. I recommend her to my family.

Worse medical appointment ever!! My appointment was to follow-up on a serious medical finding. She was rude, dismissive of my questions, and apparently I asked too many questions because she GOT UP AND WALKED OUT OF THE APPOINTMENT after approximately 5 minutes and I was left with no information regarding my health. She tell me how busy s Given all the poor reviews how is she still allowed to see patience? She is NOT fit to be a practicing physician.

Not Worth it.
Rude, dismissive. Actually knew what she was doing, but I don’t know if it’s worth the hassle. I recommend going there once to see if it’s worth a second visit. Doesn’t even say hi or bye. The worst bedside manner I’ve ever encountered.

She was calm, patient, and listened to all of my concerns during our first appointment. She listened to my heart and lungs, looked in my ears, felt the stomach and answer to all my concern. After that she told me some instructions which are so useful.

I was nervous after reading reviews, but my experience with Dr. Galyanova as a new patient has been nothing short of wonderful! She was calm, patient, and listened to all of my concerns during our first appointment. She is no-nonsense but thorough and approachable. She scheduled multiple follow-ups to check in on me, which I apppreciated.

She refers to us (patients) as "you people" with disdain. Horrible attitude, unforgiving of 1 minute lateness no matter how far we have to travel. As soon as another female doctor was taking new patients I flew away from there!

Absolutely not, she left me in tears she was so rough and vindictive. She wanted me to change my primary to her not knowing I was checking to see if I might if I liked her. As I didn’t say yes she became angry and rude and when I asked if she would fill a simple not recurrrent prescription she said no, ask your regular doctor. She was actually mean and cruel. Evidentially even he people who run the office have heard this before and asked me to give reviews. I have never been scared,she was cruel

I made an appointment for a full physical since I haven't been to the doctors in a few years. She listened to my heart and lungs, looked in my ears, felt the stomach and concluded that I looked healthy and didn't need anything else checked or done. Her attitude was very unprofessional and snarky. Worst doctors visit I have ever had, I will definitely be complaining to Guthrie once my bill for the full physical comes.
