Worked for this office and it was absolutely horrible. Many of you are fooled by his act of really caring. This place does not sterilize the tools for the proper time before going into the autoclave. I know for I was told I was letting it soak too long(mandatory presoak and scrubbing time) by him and he made me take tools out that were NEVER scrubbed!!!! Has gone thru 12+ dental assistants when I hired in.... for he yells at the whole staff at the top of his lungs when patients are there or not. He is always in a bad mood,inpatient,rude,disrespectful,cheap,degrading..especially to women assistants and puts down patients on Medicaid or any other asst. form saying he never gets paid from "those" kind of people!!! Many of his fillings materials are expired so beware for you don't see these things in the nasty,dirty Rubbermaid tubs he keeps them in behind your back in the chair. I should've turned him into the better business bureau/health dept. but figured the review would get the real information to people and I just wanted to get the heck out of this behind the scenes "MADHOUSE"!!! However, his wife is WONDERFUL and approached him about throwing away the expired materials and he yelled at her too. The guy is a total jerk and treats the girls like TOTAL garbage. Almost 3 or 4 days a week he would make the receptionist Jen cry because he would get in her face and yell at her because a patient called to cancel..like it was her fault. Place is nasty behind the scenes don't be fooled by the act of really caring.we were given free dental care and I would NEVER let my family or anyone I knew go there after working there,nor did I ever have anything done in that gross place. He gets people in because he could never keep a full day of patients they either cancel,go somewhere else,or come there and get thru the visit and make comments about the place when he would leave the room. If people cancelled or went somewhere else he would say I didn't want their business anyway..total jerk. Save your time and money,go somewhere safe and look at reviews...sorry but I couldn't stay quiet about this place anymore. Fake,outdated,behind the times. Sorry but it's the truth.

We have been going to Dr.G for over 20 years. You will not find a finer, more caring dentist around. He and his assistants are not only thorough and professional but have a sense of humor. I kid you not when I tell you that Dr. G remembers every tooth in your head. Dr. Galanos truly cares if you are feeling discomfort and reacts immediately to it. His prices remain reasonable and he accepts most insurances.

I Love Galanos Dental. I have been going for 3 years now. Dr. Galanos is excellent, very caring and does an excellent job on my teeth as well as my husband. The staff is very friendly. The office is very prompt and I get in right away. They even work with my husbands crazy schedule. He's a truck driver and its hard for him to set an appointment. When he comes to town they work with him and try to fit him in on short notice. Thanks Galanos Dental.
