Patients appreciate
Dr. Ivonne Galarza receives consistently strong praise for her interpersonal skills and patient-centered approach. Reviewers repeatedly describe her as friendly, kind, caring, and gentle, particularly with children of all ages. Parents appreciate that she takes time to listen thoroughly to their concerns, engages directly with young patients rather than speaking only to parents, and provides clear, straightforward medical advice. Many reviews highlight her ability to make patients feel comfortable and valued, with several noting she doesn't rush appointments and makes families feel like they are her only patients. Her professionalism, knowledge, and thoroughness are frequently mentioned, along with her willingness to answer all questions comprehensively.
Patients also share
The primary area for improvement identified in the reviews relates to wait times. One reviewer expressed significant frustration about a 30-minute wait for a 9 AM appointment with no apology offered, which caused their child to miss school and tests. Another reviewer mentioned the provider was running very late for their appointment, though they acknowledged this may not always be within the clinic's control. These scheduling and timeliness issues appear to be the main detractor from an otherwise positive patient experience.
