What patients say about Hospital Galenia
“Great place for urgent care. Over 20 specialists (dentists, trauma, pediatric, even blood transfusion). Most doctors are fluent in English. Very clean and professional environment.”
“Be prepared to pay, wait, and be ignored.”
“The doctor was just NOT qualified to see our son.”
“My brother had a massive heart attack and was taken to this hospital. His friends had to pay $10,000 or they would not treat him.”
“Everything went according to my request. Thank you.”
“The only reason why we don't give it 5 stars is due to some administrators being very inflexible with updating our records.”
Excerpts quoted verbatim from public reviews, checked November 2026; long reviews are shortened (…). Positive and critical reviews are both shown. Many reviews describe other kinds of care at the hospital, not bariatric surgery.
