Galanis Cataract & Laser Center Reviews ( 248 )

  1. To require an escort for someone for an office procedure and then not letting them into the building and to idle around outside for 2 hours is not what I would characterize as good customer service. Accommodations for guidelines require a little thinking outside the box…and not much of that here, I’m afraid.

  2. Dr. John Galanis’s office and staff are top-notch in there field. Dr. Galanis has performed cataract surgery on my Mom, Sara Wilkerson, my Aunt, Pauline Hodge, and my Uncle, William Hodge. Dr. Galanis’s staff also caught a hole in my …

  3. I have been a patient with Dr. Galanis so long that I can remember when he was located in the SW Medical Center Bldg and Tippen’s Pies were being baked in his current facility. I have always felt that my eye care needs were addressed with …

  4. If I could I would give a minus 10. I called to make an appointment. I have AARP Medicare Complete through United Healthcare as well as Medicaid. It is office policy not to accept Medicaid patients. She couldn’t give me the reason so no appointment. Ridiculous. Very nefati e review.

  5. The waiting room was full, so we had conversations with those around us. When it was time for me to go into the opt area, the nurses were very pleasant, the facility was bright and friendly, and the surgery was over quickly. Recovery was quick and we were out in a few hours.

  6. My review is in regards to the staff. Most of the clients that come here are elderly. Please be kind and patient when interacting. Just a simple question gets the staff irritated! So what if they ask the same question a couple of times, be …
