Testimonials

I found Dr. Gallawa when I had an emergency and Kaiser told me I can get an appointment 5 weeks later. Since then, I have been to see him several times. His receptionist is a gem, and always makes sure to take care of me and get me in to see the doctor. Dr. Gallawa is caring and efficient, and takes his time to explain things. He is a great resource if you are looking for alternatives to surgery.

Heike S

Dr. Gallawa was kind and patient with my precocious 6 year old. He explained exercises that we could do at home and suggested affordable inserts to help him with his flat feet and gait issues. He was honest and professional, a rare thing in health care providers.
Edited to add: His receptionist was kind and warm too.

Danielle N

I’ve had bad ingrown toenails for the past few years and have never been able to get them permanently removed yet due to infections but Dr. Gallawa has been the best podiatrist I’ve seen. I’ve already recommended my girlfriend and will definitely recommend others!
