Galamba Patricia J MD

First of all, I have to say I actually have no personal experience with this doctor. However, after reading these reviews I was psyched and ready to go see her... then I found MANY other reviews on Yelp that paint a much different picture- and frankly are quite scary. So I recommend doing some more research before seeing this doctor.... All I have to say is that I was disturbed enough to register specifically to write this review! more

\r Dr. Galamba has been my primary care physician for the last 8 years. Im in good health and really have only seen her when Ive hurt myself (I do construction, and well, stuff happens sometimes).\r \r Her office is small and comfortable, Ive never had to wait more than a few minutes (not like those big offices where theres 12 people in the waiting room, all with the same appointment time). \r \r Shes always willing to give you a complete explanation for whats going on; in simple terms that Ive always been able to understand.\r \r Once, when I was worried that I had a broken bone in my foot (it hurt!), Dr. Galamba told me not to go to the emergency room to get an xray (which can be lethally expensive) but instead to look in the yellow pages for an outpatient xray clinic. I was able to get two views of my foot for $60!! Thats the kind of doctorly advice that I appreciate.\r \r I dont have health insurance, so I just pay her cash (its not that much for a visit; waaay less than a monthly health premium). I know I need to get health insurance, but when youre self-employed, its not always easy.\r \r So if youre looking for a doctor whos a person, who cares about you, then try Dr. G. Shes the best doctor Ive ever had!\r \r Doug Burnet more

""Patricia Galamba is the finest doctor I've ever had, which explains why I now choose to drive to San Francisco rather than lose her sincerely caring attitude and remarkable diagnostic skills. \r \r Patricia Galamba has been my physician for over 15 years. When I moved away from the Bay Area and became very ill, I saw several other doctors who did not correctly diagnose my illness as serious. My husband insisted that we return to Dr. Galamba. She saw me immediately, diagnosed me correctly, and admitted me to the intensive care unit of St Francis Hospital (just across the street) in less than an hour. There I spent several days in intensive care and many months in recovery. I know this doctor to be very professional, thorough, caring and compassionate. I know this doctor saved my life. \r \r I have referred many clients to her, all of whom love her and drive into the City to see her."" more
