Dr. Gallina is the absolute BEST!! I have had several surgeries with Dr. Gallina. The most recent and by far the most impactful was a peroneal nerve release. I've dealt with a foot drop for 35+ years. Every other doctor I saw for this told me nothing could be done. All I could do was "live with it." Then I saw Dr. Gallina. He knew EXACTLY how to resolve the issue. It took two rather involved surgeries, but I am now in physical therapy and am recovering more use and mobility each week! I am beyond grateful to Dr. Gallina and his outstanding office team!! I thank you all! Sincerely, Marty read more

Happy Place makes for Happy Feet! The office staff were all happy and Dr. Gallina lights up a room with his gregarious personality! Went in due to severe pain on my left heel/arch. I was called at exactly my appointment time, and into a nice room and asked some questions. I was then taken into a small x-ray room by the x-ray technician. Both of these women were professional and smiling and happily explained each process. Dr. Gallina came in a few minutes after the x-rays and gave me my diagnosis. He was as sweet and knowledgeable as could be. He made me feel at ease, and clearly explained what I should be doing to resolve my foot problem. And I love that he was previously a Doctor for the Tampa Bay Rays! Wonderful! They are located diagonally across the street from Walgreens on the Island. Parking is behind the building. When you get into the elevator, make sure you press 2R (not 2). The elevator door will open up behind you and you enter directly into the office. NOTE: I had previously filled out new patient forms I had downloaded from their online website, only to be told by the receptionist that they were not the correct forms and she did not even know there were forms online. I then had to fill out all of the forms she provided to me. (normally I would do 1 star less as they need to update their website - but I will give them a chance to update first). read more

So, I'm on my way to a 9:40 appointment this morning and get a call at 9:20 that Dr. Gallina is no longer treating people with calluses. I asked why they scheduled me - oh, because when you scheduled he was treating them but has now stopped. What? Folks, I'd worry about going to a doctor that doesn't honor his commitments.. read more

Friendly courteous staff, a couple locations to make whatever is easier for you and your schedule. Dr. Galling is very personable, listens to your concerns and offers options when they are available, not pushy. Usually quite funny not stuffy. Pretty good with appointment times. read more

Dr. Gallina is nothing short of Awesome. He is professional, knowledgeable, understanding and helpful, not to mention an amazingly talented surgeon. He and his office staff are down to earth and not snooty by any means. Since relocating from up North I have found it challenging to find good Physicians, however, I hit the nail on the head with Dr. Gallina he is 6 ft of Awesomeness, not to mention he's easy on the eyes. Would recommend him to anyone looking for the best podiatrist and surgeon in the area. read more

Would definitely recommend Dr. Gallina. Takes his time with you & very personable. Trust him thoroughly! I went to him because I gad a broken ankle. Healed up & now starting to walk on it again . I would go back to him again I'd need be! read more

On my first visit, Dr Gallina suggested I purchase a product which he sold in his office. I did so because I wanted to trust him and hoped the product would help me. Less than 24 hours after my visit, I called the office to report that the product had caused severe knee pain. I was told the product was non-refundable (which I had not been told at the time of the purchase). Sadly, the office seemed more interested in making the product sale than in asking about and/or helping me understand why the severe pain might have occurred. I think this was a very poor choice on their part. They destroyed the trust of a new patient. (By the way, the product is sold cheaper and is returnable on Amazon.com) read more
