Dr Galli's program with me has stopped my MS progression. Thank you
Dr. Galli is the essence of how a physician should act. I've had over 20 years with a neurologist who can only be described as abusive. I'm in west Texas where there are no alternatives. Dr. Gali listened to everything I had to say, as though I'm a thinking human being who knows his own body. After listening, he explained what is happening and the medical treatments available to me and how treatment can change with the current technologies if my condition deteriorates. All of this was said in a conversational tone and I never felt rushed to explain my condition. Dr Galli should know that his actions changed for the better how I perceive my condition. How he treats patients makes our lives better. I am profoundly appreciative of him and have asked my wife to transfer her records and treatment to the University of Utah.
He saved my life and gave me a diagnosis when no one else could

Dr. Galli is a wonderful doctor. I'm a new patient to Dr. Galli and even though I have only had two appointments with him (in person and virtual), he was very informative, leaving no stone unturned.

Appreciated how my healthcare provider considered my approach and trusted my judgment regarding treatment options. I felt very respected and that my questions/concerns mattered, in other words, I felt like a person and not a number.
Dr. Galli is always very professional and personable. I am extremely lucky to have found a doctor who not only understands his profession, but has an understanding of the psychological aspects of his patients needs. There is a great deal more than coming into an examination room, looking at past results, looking at recent clinical studies and moving on to the next room. Dr. Galli knows this. He will, "not", leave his patient until all the questions have been answered and his instructions are understandable by all involved. The University of Utah Medical is very lucky to have a physician of his caliber.
Thank you very much for providing me with the extremely upbeat standard of excellence.
Dr Galli has always been very thorough. Always prompt with answers to my questions on my chart.

Dr. Galli is very caring and easy to talk to. I'm glad he's my physician.

BEST Neurologist I've seen! I've referred three people there already.
