With a severe migraine headache and a sinus infection I first met Dr. Gallo via video. My Dr. was unavailable that day so he took my appointment. In less than 1 minute he accused me of being unstable and refused to speak with me demanding that he speak with someone in my home.I was home alone at the time. During the 15 minutes until my nursing student daughter returned he called my pharmacy and cancelled my prescriptions for anxiety and depression. My irate daughter called him immediately saying I was not unstable and a Dr. should know that just stopping a daily medication is dangerous. She reported him to the Dept. of health. This took place awhile ago but the trauma lingers. Luckily I see a wonderful therapist now and am doing very well.

I've seen many psych medication management providers. He's by far the most cynical, judgemental, and mean spirited man I've met! He clearly needs a refresher, as he's not up to date on the new medications. He claims all stimulants are the same! Who does that! He has an average 2.5 for a reason
Spedjs 5 minutes with patients! Charges insurance hundreds for five minutes.

I was not a fan of his in the 6 months of being his patient to begin with and was actively looking for a new doctor while being in his care. Advice he gave me was extremely questionable and unprofessional. I asked, family, good friends and other Doctors about concerning advice he gave me and not ONE person could understand why a Dr in his profession would give such an outrageous and concerning advice he gave to me. Secondly, he knew nothing about me nor did he even care to ask me questions about me or my life as a whole. Telehealth visits last anywhere from 5-8 minutes and that was it! Most times he was either yawning or rubbing his face as if he was trying to wake up. I was lucky enough to find another Dr and not a moment too soon. This was the straw that broke the camels back. Dr. Gallo called into my pharmacy and gave the wrong dosage and I didn’t realize it until I got the medicine home. I wasn’t angry and actually I was in a great mood but, did call the office to let him know he screwed up the dosage and that he could call me back the next day when he was back in the office. Well, not a minute after I hung up Dr Gallo called me back (after hours) to ream me out. He actually had the nerve to talk to me as if I were his child by telling me that he doesn’t “screw” up and that it was a mistake. I offered an apology and let him know I meant no harm by saying “screwed” up but, he wasn’t having it. An apology was not good enough for him. He just ranted and raved for 5 or so minutes. Then told me that maybe HE wasn’t the right doctor for me. You got that right Dr. Gallo! I deserve so much better and more from a doctor! Perhaps you have PTSD with that word? Luckily for me I don’t have to know. I read his reviews before I chose him for my care thinking maybe some of the reviews weren’t totally accurate. Well, if your reading this apparently ALL of us former patients have valid reasons for leaving him.

I saw Dr. Gallo a while ago and just want to leave a few words of caution to other potential patients. Dr. Gallo is a very cold, egotistical person to deal with. Everything about this guy is off. First off he will sit with his back to you and type on his computer while talking to you. Second, he minimizes your thoughts and feelings. Why do you ask? Well, because he is far superior to you that is why! Third, he gives false information about medications and their withdrawal side effects. What do I mean? He discounts medically factual information from not only the patient going through the withdrawal but also major studies from places like Harvard to name only one of many. Yes, he will look you in the eye and in a condescending way tell you that you're full of Sh!% for thinking these things. He is not right in his head so there is no way he will be able to help you with yours. A little fun fact about the Dr.? He specializes in EST commonly known as Electro-Shock Therapy. That's just the icing on the cake! Stay away from this man at all costs!!

Dr. Gallo was a turn off and I questioned his legitimacy. I admit that video appointments are awkward and impersonal for a psychiatric evaluation. He seemed put off and condescending initially but I owned it as my uncomfortableness to talking about my issues to a computer image. We need to trust our first impression as my appointments went down hill from there. There were people walking around the room, he yawned with boredom and when I told him the meds were intolerable he’s offered to up the dosage. Is this guy really a doctor?

DO NOT TRUST YOUR HEALTHCARE TO THIS MAN, HE WILL NOT LISTEN AND IN THE CASE OF MENTAL HEALTHCARE THIS IS DANGEROUS. I agree with the previous reviewers, Dr. Gallo is cold and dismissive. Saw him for depression/anxiety and substance abuse, he tried to convince me I was not suffering from depression. I followed his advice, checked into a treatment center, and journaled extensively about how depression has affected me from my youth (noted each traumatic incident so he would be able to understand) and offered to share this with him so he could understand self medication as a symptom of depression. He was not interested in seeing the journaling and described my case as “complicated”. SORRY DR GALLO THAT I SOUGHT TREATMENT FROM YOU FOR A REAL ISSUE THAT REQUIRES REAL EXPERTISE TO SOLVE. YOU VICTIMIZED ME THROUGH YOUR CARE AND OTHERS NEED TO KNOW THIS IS HOW YOU PRACTICE.

Dr. Gallo has been treating me with ECT for my major depressive disorder since July 2018. I have never felt better. He is kind, friendly and shows sincere concern about my health. I feel lucky to have such a physician caring for me. Sincerely, LAM

As I read reviews on this provider they seem very mixed. He was very dismissive towards me and did not allow me to speak nor did he ask me questions. His ego seems to have an issue with being questioned about what he's doing and it seems to affect how he treats his patents. He diagnosed me with severe depression and PTSD and upped me on a medication I had been on for years that hadn't been helping after quickly flipping through my intake chart. When I told him it wasn't for mental health it seemed to anger him. Our appointment lasted under ten minutes. I ended up getting help elsewhere and was diagnosed with Bi Polar I. The medication has completely changed my life. It should be okay to have an open dialogue with your provider. We should all feel comfortable advocating for ourselves and Dr Gallo did not provide me with that space to do so. He was also quite rude and unprofessional. I would absolutely not reccomend.
