Dr. Daniel D Galyon

I was sable to self refer to Dr Galyon with a lower back issue. My appointment was on time not rushed, and he did a thorough exam. He told me he could see the issue on my CT but recommended waiting to see if it worsened...a few months later I had another episode and with his input, I had surgery...as someone working in the health care industry, I found him to be thorough, honest, and compassionate and the surgery got me back on the golf course!! I would recommend him to anyone..

He has done three surgery,s on me and I have never had any problem's or concerns. The first on is done on 2007..

Dr Galyon is a highly skilled neurosurgeon. He quickly and accurately diagnosed my back condition. His surgical skills are top notch and postoperatively I am already 95 percent better. This is the best my back and legs have felt in a year. All thanks to Dr Galyon

No bedside manners, difficult to talk to, has no time for the patient, very disappointed.

Saw "DR" 20 yrs ago for back pain. Came in, asked very few questions, did not give me an examination. Said only way he would do surgery is if "I was crawling around on the ground in pain" 20 yrs later pain management Dr sent me to him to get an opinion. Nurse rude...Galyon still a jerk!! Looked at my MRI ...said no surgery Then he sticks my feet with a needle and asks if I can feel it. What do my feet have to do with my back! Rude,no compassion and doesn't care Never go to him again!

Dr Gaylon is a rude and arrogant so called doctor. I was referred to him by another dr of mine. My appt with him lasted a whole 5 minutes for him to insult me and have him tell me that if I can walk and talk then I can work. Also that I need to get over my head injury. Also questioning things that were not even related to my appt. He barely let me ask any question and when I did all he seemed to care about is what workers comp had said. Do not even waste your time with him.

GREAT surgeon. I had the pleasure to be his patient and his surgery was a complete success. His manners are as they should and he tells you what it is wrong with you , even if you don't want to hear it. Great personality and I'll recommend him to all my friends .One of the best orthopedic surgeon in the Southern Tier.

If you are looking for a "warm and fuzzy" doctor that sugar coats thing, he is NOT the doctor for you. He is upfront, blunt, and tells it like it is. I saw him for low back pain. He said he could help with my leg pain, but as for my back pain, I'm screwed. I, for one, like his upfront and blunt nature. A doctor's bedside manner is quite low on my list of qualifications. I look at things like track record, knowledge and abilities.

I have read a few of the reviews here and have to make a review of my own. I have seen it written hes arrogant pompous and an ok surgeon at best. In my encounter with him I found him not to be pompous or arrogant just simply brutally honest Dr Gaylon is a superior quality surgeon who spent this past holiday resecting a tumor from my spine very carefully preserving as much function as he could I should not be walking or have bladder control but I do thanks to a fine surgeon

I have dealt with Dr. Galyon on several ocassions and in several capacities over 3 years. He is a very little man with an undeserved ego.He is an OK surgeon at best. I've witnessed him not even being able to use a simple suctioning device. His social skills are that of an inept recluse. He usually speaks so quietly and mumbled that the only thing you end up hearing are his frequent childish outbursts that he frequently uses to belittle nurses or family members. Bottom line, choose someone else.

This Dr. has no courtesy, he is a rude pompous, arrogant individual. He actually refused to speak with my wife, in the hospital when her mother was dying following a stroke. He put his hand up like stopping traffic and told my wife, I have a Dr on the case and he will answer your questions. Mind you he was the surgeon and treating Dr.

I have had 3 successful surgeries with Dr. Galyon. Each surgery was perfect - If I needed another surgery and Dr. Galyon was not available I would seek a surgeon out of the area. I trust him 100%. He has always used surgery as the last resort, initially recommending PT and/or steroid injections. There is most always no longer than a 10 minute wait to get in for an appt. He is extremely efficient. He is the only Doctor in that practice I ever recommend.
