Joel R. Galloway

I don't review, but when I do, its for a reason. Let's say Joel is above average as a cardiologist. He is very rude and be littles you with every statement. I've had to wait for him over an hour. New appointment, the receptionist told me the time. I showed up 10 minutes early and she said that he likes his patients 20 minutes early and I might not be able to get you in to see him. It is December and Icey roads running a few minutes behind. I don't know about you, but my time is valuable and if I'm there, I had to jump thought hoops. I told the receptionist, thanks but no thanks!!. Great insurance and taking my business else where. This is still American and I'm going to see Dr. Ferraro (same group).

The only reason hide the 1 star rating is because I can’t go lower! After waiting over an hour past the scheduled appointment he came in and asked when he last saw me. I told him he’d never seen me before. He said then why am I here! He had no idea. He said he had no access to my tests that were done in HIS facility right around the corner! Incompetent and arrogant like I’ve never seen…ever! STAY AWAY he’s worthless! The only reason hide the 1 star rating is because I can’t go lower!

Dr. Galloway is one of the best cardiologists in Spokane. He is very knowledgeable and cares deeply for his patients.

I loved Dr Galloway...He was very 'to the point' no bs, he put in 3 heart stints, I never felt a thing.

I have never been treated so rudely by any doctor my entire life. Dr Galloway was so rude, arrogant and condescending the first time I saw him that I almost didnt go back. But, being the positive person I am that looks for the good in everyone, I chalked it up to him having a rough day and scheduled my follow-up with him 6 months later. Unfortunately, I was 5 minutes late for my check-in time (which was 20 minutes before my appt time). Well, that seemed to turn Dr Galloway's world upsidedown. He came blustering into the exam room, angry and abrupt in manner, and 9 of the 10 minutes of my appt time I was subjected to a lecture about being a bad patient and was given a printed sheet of appointment check-in protocol with the part about arriving 20 minutes early hand circled in ink. Then he opened the exam room door and repeated loudly again that I was a bad patient and was gone. I got to walk back out with the entire inner office and other healthcare staff looking at me, the "bad patient", taking the walk of shame to the exit. When I got home I got on the phone and scheduled my next appt with a brand new doctor at a new clinic and officially fired Dr Galloway. I do not recommend him to anyone if you want to be treated as a patient (or person) should be treated. (My new cardiologist's nurse also told me that I was not the first new patient of theirs to have switched from Dr Galloway due to dissatisfaction with his treatment of them). I have never been treated so rudely by any doctor my entire life. Dr Galloway was so rude, arrogant and condescending the first time I saw him that I almost didnt go back.

He was much less arrogant and much more informative and caring on this visit.

Generally pleased with the office. However, my last appointment seemed rushed and superficial with little opportunity to ask questions.

Dr. Galloway was great. Though I was very scared to get certain results and am scared to have procedure done, he was very kind and reassuring. He has such confidence that one can't help but feel better. I would have given 5 stars if not for the nasty receptionist I had to deal with before Dr. Galloway

Great

Very professional and explained everything so I could understand.

Great explaining bout what pain I am having. Wants couple more tests dine.

Dr Galloway does a very good job of explaining your conditions and the options available.

Dr Galloway saved life. Thank you and the Deaconess Cardiac Team a million times! Donnie Evans

I’ve known Dr Galloway for over 20 years. He's professional in every sense, and offers amazing knowledge and guidance. I feel lucky to have him in Spokane.

On behalf of my husband Jerry, I know that the care provided by Dr. Galloway is superior. He is personable, caring and encouraging. Yes, he is tough but for good reason, sometimes it is a matter of life and death. He has had the insight to make medical decisions improving Jerry’s heart health, therefore increasing his life expectancy. We are both grateful for Dr. Galloway’s expertise.

Dr. Galloway was great! I have a bit of a mystery issue and during this first visit I thought it was great he decided to do some imaging and collect up more information! I'm sure there's nothing terribly wrong but I'll feel much better once a set of human eyes looks at all the data.

My first appt with him he was so arrogant that I was left feeling quite belittled, but I gave him another chance and scheduled my next follow up with him anyway. BIG MISTAKE. I was 5 minutes late for my check-in, and he came blustering into the exam room speaking loudly about bad patients, was very rude and so condescending that I nearly got up and left. I never rescheduled with him but found a new cardiologist at another clinic. When his office called me several months later to ask why my meds were now being filled by a difgerent provider I told them I had "fired" Dr Galloway and was no longer interested in in having bim as a doctor. I do not recommend this doctor. Negative ratings for bedside manner. His staff, however, are saints for putting up with him!

The doctors were very good in solving my problem. I would recommend all to anyone.

This was my first time meeting Dr. Galloway and I felt very comfortable.

I had an excellent visit with Dr. Galloway. His efforts to holistically know me increased my trust and confidence in our dedication to my welfare. Dr. Galloway's staff was thorough and professional. I look forward to having Dr. Galloway as my cardiologist.

Walks in the room like he already knows what he's going to say doesn't want to listen to anything you say arrogant and rude

Dr. Galloway is very personable, thorough and knowledgeable. I got more questions answered in my initial visit with him than I got in 6 years with my previous cardio care. I absolutely recommend him!

Seemed like he did not care investigate why my grandmother was having severe chest pains. Didn't even care to listen to what she was telling him. When he walked in it sounded to me that he didn't even read her history... WORST DR EVER

Arrogant, rude, condescending, horrible bedside manner

Dr. Galloway performed a stent placement in my right groin area about 15 or 16 years ago. The surgery was unbearable. I felt horrible pain throughout the entire procedure. Pain so great that I begged to die. When it came time to have yet another stent, I was crying & shaking & could not bear to go through that again. My cardio promised me that there would be no pain greater than inserting the needle in my arm. He was right. I would NEVER see Dr. Galloway again under any circumstances.

Dr. Galloway seemed to walk into my appointment already knowing what he was going to say. I felt completely ignored by him. In fact, at one point I started wondering to myself, Wait...Is he paying ME to be here? I have a follow up with him that I'm dreading. I'm kind of reserved, so maybe people with more alpha type personalities do better with him.
