Nick Galifianakis

Excellent as usual:)!

The Dr informed me they had another pt with my diagnosis and dystonia. The Dr and his fellow were so informative and helpful and helped us meet with the surgeon.

Dr. Galifianakis is always very professional and courteous. I feel honored to be treated by him.

Superb clinicians

Outstanding!

Dr. Galifianakis has been treating me for some time now for Hemifacial Spasm. The treatment is not straightforward and I appreciate his thought and guidance. He is also open to hearing my thoughts on how this is progressing and what works well to control it. I feel very lucky to be in his care.

Patient, easy to talk to, good listener when given updates on my sister's status, asked about my well being caring for my sister. Overall, compassionate, understanding, & thoughtful.

Excellent experience

Excellent visit . Dr G was wonderful. He listened and explained extensively about the procedure.

Dr. Galifianakis is an incredible physician. He is knowledgeable, caring, flexible, attentive, and kind. But his best quality may easily be that he is so approachable and down to earth.

Thank you Dr Galifianakis!

Lucky I have found Dr. G who has a personal experience with PD and could relate to some of my concerns.

The doctors that check me out very good and did a thorough evaluation and I am very pleased with the progress

Dr. G was great. The only problem was that the referrals he gave me were unavailable.

I've never experienced a Doctor like this. He answered all questions. Helped me to understand my essential tremors.Superb!!!

Problem is availability of the care provider

Dr. Galifinakis provides excellent care and comes across as concerned and compassionate for his patients. Would most definitely recommend him to others and am very pleased to be under his care.

Thank you!

Outstanding visit. Really nice providers.

I was anxious and doctor relaxed me by explaining solutions.

Excellent support and care. Professional and very concerned about care.

In addition to excellent attention to issues and care regarding my primary condition, Dr G engaged in excellent conversation around personal history and experience, making for great communication and personal interaction and relationship. Outstanding experience at all levels.

I greatly appreciated the opportunity to speak with Dr. G. I'm still waiting for a follow up to what we discussed, so at the moment I can only recommend him for a first visit, as he was very kind and informative.

Everything was excellent

I think Dr. G. ThInks I don't have MSA. He thinks my breathing problem Is due to respiratory situation or problem. I think I do have MSA.

Dr. Galifianakis is exceptional in every way.

This was the best dr visit we ever had and I can tell you we've been to a lot of all different kinds. I wish everyone was as good as your team and Dr. G

I was informed that Dr. Galifianakis had to leave to pick up his child at school as soon as I arrived so I immediately felt rushed. I only saw him for a couple of minutes and spent the rest of the time with his fellow. He did not review the information I brought with me. I did not get to ask any questions. Anything he may have said was relayed to me through his fellow after they had a conversation in the hallway and I was not given any opportunity to speak to him directly. I drove several hundred miles to get to this appointment and spent a lot of money on hotels to stay in the area - and it took me years to get sent to a top rate facility like UCSF. I did not at all anticipate being treated dismissively by an institution that I respect greatly, after my husband was treated for GBM there several years ago. I left the appointment feeling defeated and hopeless. I understand that things happen and the emergency that caused him to need to leave was unexpected, but this was in no way the visit that I was told I would have. His fellow also said that if I had more questions for Dr. G that I could email him through MyChart and he would call me by the end of the day. I did so, and haven't heard anything back. He seemed friendly but I had no opportunity to actually discuss anything with him so it's impossible to say I would recommend him to anyone, since our interaction was so brief.

Doctor Galifianakis is simply an extraordinary doctor and human being. Can not ask for more.

I appreciate the professional and compassionate care provided by your impressive staff.

DR. G has always been great and we feel like we can talk to him about things almost like a friend.

Dr.G is open and listens well. We did not go over post-op procedures, since I have some pre-testing to do.

Dr. Galifianakos is an excellent doctor!

The doctor was very engaged with us and gave very good instructions re medications and after visit procedures.

Excellent

I couldn't ask for a better doctor than Dr. G. He accomplishes so much in such a short amount of time. He listens well and I know he has my best interest at heart. Dr. G always makes me see a clearer picture of what's going on with my health. I feel honored to be his patient.

Dr. Galifianakis is the best!

Very good doctor and nurse

Dr Nicolas is very patient and curing.

The doctor was exceptional!

Dr. G Is an intuitive and compassionate doctor. He's friendly and professional.

Doctor G. Is very professional and a very good listener. He cares about what my concerns are and what I need.

I was there to listen and learn. I've tried everything the neurologists here have to offer. Are there any other options for me? Next steps?

Dr G is the best doctor I've ever had. He listens, understands, and most importantly provides meaningful and clear instructions.

The physician(s) were honest. He (they) admitted his (their) lack of familiarity with the lab results. It is most appreciated.

Excellent care from Doctor Galifianakis, I am very happy to have him as my Doctor.

Dr. G was very thorough and patient with my mom.

Good experience

We also really both liked and appreciated Dr. Galliffinakis.

Dr. Galifianakis is kind, generous with his time, and super helpful. He listens with great attention to detail, communicates clearly, and shows a genuine care and desire to help.
