Gil Q Galloway, MD FACS

I had to have a second hernia repair and a friend recommended Dr. Galloway, so glad I took my friend’s advice. I can’t say enough good things about the staff and Dr. Galloway. The procedure went great and everyone remarked how fast I recovered which I credit the doctor. If there was a 6 star rating I would have used it!

For years, I delayed a hernia procedure, largely due to the fact that I was told by several physicians that my surgery would leave me with a life-​long, nasty scar. Recently, I was lucky to be referred by my GP to Dr. Gil Galloway. My surgery was completed at Dr. Galloway’s Wellness Center on Santa Fe Drive. My anxiety was immediately alliviated by the kindness of Dr. Galloway and his awesome staff. Dr. Galloway delicately closed my insition utilizing an internal stitching technique, the result is the teeny tiniest mark. I am so happy with the outcome, I give Dr. Galloway the highest recommendation, plus he is a gentle soul. It’s nice to know there are Doctors who genuinely about their patients.

I highly recommend Dr. Galloway to anyone needing surgery. He performed a hernia operation on me and everything turned out exactly as he had explained beforehand. There were no surprises and no complications.

Three months ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The first surgeon assigned by my HMO was terrible. Thankfully a friend and associate recommended Dr. Galloway. From the moment I had contact with his office, I was treated with compassion and dignity. Dr. Galloway explained my options, my diagnosis, and we discussed the pros and cons together. He made it so I understood the options and possible outcomes. I ended up having two breast conserving surgeries and am thankful for his approach. He took a «let’s get rid of the cancer approach and not do overkill just because we can». Following both surgeries I was able to return to my life in pretty quick order due to the minimally invasive style. I can already tell my scars will be extremely faint but will wear them gladly as a reminder that life is precious. Thanks Dr. Gil. I recommend you whole heartedly and without reservation.

One of the most amazing doctors I’ve ever met. This man with out a doubt saved my life at the young age of 26. He always remembered details about me without having to stare in my chart. He cares and he expalaines things in easy to understand ways.

To say I was scared to death finding out I had not one but two melanomas would have been an understatement, but I thankfully I was referred to Dr. Gil Galloway and his fantastic staff at The Well Medical Center. All I can say from the bottom of my heart is THANK YOU. Not only is he a highly skilled surgeon but his comforting beside manner helped me finally exhale and know I was in good hands. From now on he’s my guy.
Thanks,

I wouldn’t bother writing a review if Dr. Galloway had been mediocre or just okay. I have LOTS OF EXPERIENCE with physicians and would recommend him as an extremely skilled surgeon if you require any type of GI Procedure. He is very helpful and communicates well with patients. Had Gall Bladder removed with laparoscopic procedure that left tiny scars that were almost invisible.

Upon being welcomed with a warm, friendly smile at first consultation; to receiving comforting reassurance and clear understanding on operation day; to Dr. Galloway thoughtfully calling ensuring discharge and post surgery instructions were maintained to receive healthy healing and ultimate success. ALL this and MORE makes Dr. Galloway, staff, and The Well Medical Center a rare, reputable, appreciated, professional find! Thank you Dr. Gil Galloway and stellar staff for making what normally would be a horrifically painful procedure nothing short of pleasant, positive, and productive… Much appreciation, Ashlee 32years old– hemorrhoidectomy– November 2014

Dr Galloway is an excellent surgeon with a terrific bedside manner. Our daughter’s procedure was a simple minor surgery, but Dr. Galloway made her feel comfortable and relaxed with his stories of surfing in exotic locations. He even showed her his own surfing injuries, so she could take it easy, knowing she was in experienced hands! The staff at The Well Medical Center in Encinitas is also excellent, very friendly and quite professional. HIGHLY recommended!
