No need to Beware!!!!!! Any negative comments were initiated by competitors of Dr. Galbo. He is so far advanced, that other dentists do not even compare. He uses the Cerec system for most of his crowns. I have had several. He showed me the final X-rays of my crowns for at least ten years. It is amazing to see. What non Cerec doctors show patients as shadows or "leaks" are usually not a defect or decay. They just do not use the machine, technique or materials, and DO NOT know how to diagnose these crowns. Dr. Galbo has been my dentist for over fifteen years, and been doing Cerec for 16 years. BEWARE of other dentists who bad mouth him. The other doctors are just using magnified digital X-Rays to redo dentistry that is probably just fine. As far as sick and emergencies that he cancels his days for. COME ON!!! The amount of time he calls in for??? This is a service to his patients. I happen to know he has chronic sinus problems, and if he has to take antihistamines and/or pain meds. , who wants a doctor to be in the office doing dentistry on them. The other dentists need to go to school to learn Cerec and learn the way they look on X-Rays, but Dr. Galbo is the best dentist around. There should be a law requiring that any negative posts include a name, cell # and email address. He is one of the best in the U.S., maybe even the WORLD!!!!!!

Beware!!!! Something is terribly wrong. Had been going to Dr Galbo for years and he was constantly cancelling appointments for "sickness" or "emergencies". I recently changed and it has cost me thousands. Had to have everything redone that he messed up over the years. My new dentist said that he has never seen such a mess

Low rating on "Helpfullness" because my appointments are constantly being rescheduled. I am told it's either because he is sick or having family emergencies. One appointment for a cleaning was rescheduled 3 times before I was seen. Another cleaning appointment was rescheduled twice. One appointment for a filling was rescheduled twice. This is NOT counting weather closures! I've asked friends/family if this occurs with their dentist and they said no or only once. People get sick and have events come up in their lives unexpected I understand, but this is excessive and unprofessional in my opinion. His work, when completed is fine. His staff is great. This is not a rating based on their service. They are always friendly and thorough.

I went to dr. Galbo with a complicated problem. His handling of my case was wonderful. I had been to several dentists before with same issue. None of them could effectively address this problem. Dr. Galbo did what several others could not. He is amazing and his staff are all wonder professionals. I am fortunate that I saw Dr. Galbo in time. Would highly recommend this doctor. Excellent results in one visit to his office. TDM

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Galbo for approximately 15 years. My husband has had many crowns, root canals, and one implant. All have been very successful. I recently got my first crown. We are very impressed with the Cerec system he uses. It is great to have the crown done all in one trip (no temporary crown first). He took the time to show me my x-rays. He explained & showed me how the material he uses is darkened out on the x-ray. It actually looks like there is a gap between my teeth based on the x-ray. However, that is definitely not the case. I floss often and can testify that my teeth are touching. I would highly recommend Galbo Dental.

I found Dr. Galbo some 10 years ago. In the past, I have had some extensive dental work done by other local dentists and except for one found them to be priced competitively, but sorely lacking in technical expertise. Dr. Galbo has done very lengthy and difficult extractions, crowns and bridge work for me; I find his techniques virtually painless and his skill level and demeanor professional and above reproach. The entire Northside dental staff are top notch, knowledgeable, competent and pleasant; reasonable pricing is a value added benefit for the quality of service rendered. I do not have dental insurance, so I carefully evaluate price versus value of services, I also listen to friends who see other dental "professionals". Based on my own observations and comments regarding other dental service providers I will remain firmly planted at Northside Dental. I have been visiting dentists for over 55 years in many states and localities, I have never found a better oral physician.

Dr. Galbo has capped several teeth of mine. He has also put in a permanent bridge. In other words.. Thousands of dollars worth of work. He left gaps in all the caps but one. Also, for the bridge work he did the same. Needless to say, I went to another dentist this week. He presented me with this bad news. He could not believe my X-rays. There's no excuse for this. I went to him for 20 years and trusted him. Never again. My heart is broken about this. My new dentist said he SHOULD have noticed this many times back with the X-rays I had there.

Dr. Galbo is a gentle and compassionate dentist. He takes my concerns seriously and welcomes my own education and research regarding my treatment. His staff is superior; he is the only doctor/dentist I know that has had two employees for approximately 18 years and one that just left his practice to be home with her family that worked for him for approximately 16 years. If his employees are happy, I'm going to be happy! Dr. Galbo also keeps up with the latest technology to best serve his patients.
