Patient Reviews

January 30, 2026
very professional and the staff as well.
January 29, 2026
Glad I found Dr. Galbreath. Very well trained, always has time for me if I can get an appointment. I have 9 doctors at PIH and Dr. Galbreath is the one who keeps me under control and he does a great job explaining the direction we are headed. I cannot imagine that I could have such an amazing group of doctors taking care of me that all work together and support each other. By the way Coronary Rehap team is great. Very supportive, positive and don't let you not perform without feeling you are not working as hard as you can safely do.

December 22, 2025
I liked that this office has an X-ray tech and blood work can be done in the same office. With Covid and flu season there's less exposure to room full patients.
December 19, 2025
He solicited questions from me about my symptoms and his recommendations for my care. I was impressed with his focus on my well being and his relaxed manner especially since I was probably the last scheduled patient for the week.
December 17, 2025

November 28, 2025
First time visit was very good.
November 25, 2025
I look forward to seeing my doctor for he explains everything so perfectly for me to understand. I had his father as my doctor and now his son who's continued holding the torch of good quality service to their patients including me. Thank you very much.
November 19, 2025
Dr. Galbreath, as usual, spent all the time needed for me to explain my condition, discuss treatments, make referrals, and prescribe meds I never felt rushed and asked lots of questions which he took care and time to answer fully and clearly. I'm quite happy with the visit.
November 19, 2025
Early morning secretary has been very rude the last 4 times I have been there. She talks down and thinks she's a MD she should be working at a DMV not a doctors office.
November 18, 2025
Just a very good experience !!!
November 17, 2025
I have a lot in my plate and dr. Galbreath and staff are very kind and professional.
November 14, 2025
very difficult (long wait) to schedule a new patient appointment
November 13, 2025
Everything was wonderful. I've never received such excellent care from Dr. Michael. Thank you for everything you do for me. Bye.
November 07, 2025
Dr. Galbreath is very professional, very thorough. We enjoy him immensely. Would not go to any other doctor. Thank you, Dr. Galbraeth.
November 05, 2025
Originally I called for an urgent illness matter and was put on hold for over 10 mins last week and had to hang up. When I called the other day this week I was able to come in the next day much to my relief.
November 04, 2025
Dr. Gaupin is one of the best doctors along with his staff, his medical assistant, (name removed) I and his LVN, (name removed). Thank you so much for all your help, and thank you for providing great assistance in my care. Bye.
October 29, 2025
Dr. Galbreath is very thorough and I enjoy going to visit with him because I know he's going to take care of me.
October 27, 2025
This was just my first office visit and I was pleased with it but I really didn't spend much time with the doctor to have much of an opinion as of yet.
October 22, 2025
He paid close attention to me, explained things very well, and is a good doctor. I'm very happy with him. I've never felt so comfortable with a doctor who explains things to you, treats you well, is kind, and listens to what you say. Thank you so much.
October 21, 2025
Yes, I like Dr. Mike Galbreath. He's very professional and kind, and he took the time to explain the new medicine that he prescribed, Varshiga. It's just that I have to get him to sign a form so I can get my copayment reduced. The copayment on Varshiga is $290, and hopefully with this new program, AZ Med, that he can get it reduced somewhat for me. So I was very happy with him and I'd recommend him. Thank you.
October 21, 2025
Great Service and very understanding.
October 16, 2025
Dr. Galbreath is exceptional. PIH is fortunate to have him and so am I.

Dr. Michael Galbreath/Great care!
October 09, 2025
Excellent service
October 09, 2025
I had to wait 3 months for this appointment, then I waited 45 minutes before been seen, and then another 20 minutes for the nurse to come with the shots.
October 06, 2025
It take several months to get an appt. The ladies at the front desk are very cold. The faces look angry, and discontent with their job. Not very good customer service. As the saying goes "service with a smile." Not happening!
October 06, 2025
Dr. Galbreath is very attentive and listens to very concern to what me and my wife have. He's the best
September 26, 2025

Hi, I've been a patient of Dr. Michael Galbreath for some time. He's always so thorough and so professional and so kind. I've truly enjoyed being under his care.
September 12, 2025
Not sure what happened. I was scheduled for the first appointment of the day and was seen after another patient. I schedule my appointments in advance so that this doesn't happen. The office staff and doctor are the best and I do not see this as being their fault.
September 12, 2025
I was very impressed with how thorough this provider was and how he addressed every issue of preventive medicine. I would definitely recommend him.
September 08, 2025
Wonderful Doctor.
September 05, 2025

August 26, 2025
One fantastic Doctor
August 22, 2025
Dr Michael Galbreath & staff were very professional, polite. Dr Galbreath explained everything I needed to hear & very kind. Yes I would recommend Dr Galbreath to everyone who are seeking a primary health physician. Thank you very much Dr Galbreath & staff.
August 20, 2025
I had a great visit with my doctor. He answered all my questions and gave me good advice for me to follow, to help me with my health issues. He did listen to what I had to say and was very supportive. As I told him,I had a great productive visit.
August 18, 2025
Dr. Galbreath is a great provider.
August 05, 2025
Oh, I think Dr. Galbreath is a wonderful, wonderful doctor. He listens to me and he really seems to care and really be concerned. Although he does want me to have a colonoscopy, which I wasn't happy about. But he's just a wonderful guy. And also, I would recommend him to anybody. I think he's just great. Yeah, that's all. What do I press now? Oops.
August 01, 2025
Dr. Galbreath has been really good in the sessions I've had with him in the last, well, the last couple of years. I started with PIH a few years ago. My initial interaction with him was a little bumpy, and not entirely his fault that we were getting to know each other. But honestly, in the last few sessions that I've had with him, he's just been really responsive, listens really well, and I really appreciate how conscientious he is and how helpful he is. and the connections he's made for me in terms of like my health and the medications and the referrals I've needed. So I really do appreciate his work and you know, he's a good doctor. So I do appreciate him for that. Thank you.
August 01, 2025
Thank you to Dr. Galbreath. I feel so safe with my health and well-being while in his care.
August 01, 2025
Wonderfully Caring Listened. Compassion
August 01, 2025
Quick, efficient and positive!
July 31, 2025
Dr. Galbreath was amazing! I have already recommended him to other family members. The only downside is the difficulty of scheduling with him. But I understand that he is in high demand
July 29, 2025
I finished very well. I was treated very well, the doctor was excellent, and today everything comes together. Bye.
July 24, 2025
Dr. Galbreath ?????.
July 24, 2025
To schedule a date for an appt, I had to wait long time.
July 22, 2025
All went well. Staff is great! I appreciate Dr. M. Galbreath. ??
July 18, 2025
Dr. Galbreath has been and is so attentive to our dad and our mom's needs, and we appreciate the time that he takes to really understand what may have happened, and we've seen, and he then details out the information that makes it easy for us that are not doctors and not scientists to understand. He just valued that while trying to care for us every chance, and understanding that that's a life chance.
July 18, 2025
Seemed very short staffed and of course they'd never answer the telephone with a human being. I've spent several days several hours trying to communicate with anybody at the PIH just get a stupid recording or leave my number to call back and it never gets a call back. Get your stuff together. I would like a response to my comment.
July 17, 2025
Dr Michael Galbreath is one my doctors that I can't say good enough things about. He is very courteous, attentive, sensitive, caring and respectful. His bedside manner is very pleasant. He always makes me feel like he's treating a member of his family. The only negative thing I have to say is that it's very difficult to book an appointment soon enough.
July 14, 2025
Dr G. is the best. Takes his time to listen and always asks if you have any questions for him. Continued success.
June 27, 2025
Dr went over test results. He discussed my physical condition and made appropriate changes to my medication. He is a good listener.
June 25, 2025
I don't think the doctor really cares about his patients. He really doesn't know what he's doing. And he said things that don't make any sense. And he's looking at wrong records of patients.
June 25, 2025
My concerns were listened to and more help was offered.
June 24, 2025
Thank you for your service and support.
June 19, 2025
very satisfied.
June 12, 2025
Michael Galbraith is a fine doctor. I trust him implicitly. He definitely listens. The problem is trying to get an appointment. He has backed up at least two buttons, and it's hard to get in. That would be the only complaint.
June 12, 2025
I want to said thank to my provider. He is excellent and take care and listening his patients.
June 09, 2025
The visit went very well. unfortunately the referral went badly, long wait on the phone and before they answer I'm disconnected, the referral was for therapy (my balance), I'm not calling anymore, after several days and attempts. I'll google it. this is no reflection on Dr. Galbreath or his staff, they've always treated professionally and with respect.
June 09, 2025

May 05, 2025
I was given an appointment quickly. Dr. Galbreath's staff is professional and thorough. Dr. Galbreath did not waste any time getting tests approved and set up. I am scheduled for tests and a return visit. This is how a doctor should treat patients; in and out, no -nonsense, and caring.
May 02, 2025
This is the first time I see the doctor. My only concern that I have was that I have to heat reschedule two times. But the third time that I saw him, I was very pleased he listened to what I have to say, give advice, you know, different treatment. So definitely I give him a 10 and I would recommend him to all my family members. Thank you so much. Bye.
April 30, 2025

Dr. Michael Galbreath is an outstanding physician. This was an excellent consultation. He answered all my questions about treatment and referrals.
April 07, 2025
I was so pleased with Dr. Michael Galbreath's attitude and attention to my Chief Complain. He was very meticulously and very professional. Always making sure that I understood his concerns and explanations as well as the treatment needed to get me well. The traits his father (retired Dr. name removed) thought him were certainly very visible. Dr. Michael Galbreath is definitely a doctor for his patients.
April 07, 2025
Everyone was nice.
April 07, 2025
Dr Galbreath took the time to listen to my issues, provided me with recommendations, and then followed this up with a complete summary of everything we talked about in this appointment. Great doctor, really seems to care about my health.

I'm very happy with the service I received from the doctor and the nurses as well. Okay, thank you. I hope you continue to provide the same level of service to all the patients. That's what we need: people who care for us and don't create stress and give us support and confidence. Thank you.
April 04, 2025
Well, when I first come in, I meet (name removed) and she's always got a smile on her face. She's very friendly and she's very confident at her job that I appreciate it. As I went in, (name removed) took me in and she told me to my blood pressure, ask questions. Once again, very confident, competent, very friendly. And then I had talked to (name removed) on the phone and she listened to everything I had to say and got me the appointment as soon as possible. This I really appreciate, that people actually care about me. They're interested in what I say. So, yes, tens all around for everybody.
April 04, 2025
Warm, friendly, professional manner ... great job!
April 03, 2025
So far so good, thanks to our Creator.
April 03, 2025
Is difficult to schedule appointments when you need to see him, specially when you're waiting fir lab results. Overall everybody's nice provide quality care.
April 03, 2025
The doctor is very professional and the staff is very respectful.
April 03, 2025
Making an appointment at PIH is the most difficult and grueling thing to put a patient through. Something has to be done about this. Waiting 3months to see your PCP is not health care. It's not the physicians fault but PIH must hire doctors to help with this issue.
April 02, 2025
The staff that welcomed me, I believe the young lady's name was (name removed). She did great. The M.A. did great. The doctor was fabulous. I appreciate all of them very much. Thank you.

Great Doctor. Great staff. Great care.
March 19, 2025
My wife (name removed) and I were quite pleased with Dr. M. Galbreath on my March 20, visit. He was patient in answering our questions thoroughly and wasn't a bit rushed. He helped us relax. Dr. Galbreath even examined my back for suspicious moles though I didn't request him to do that. In our opinion, Dr. Galbreath is an exemplary positive addition to the PIH staff. You have my continued patronage. (PHI removed)
March 19, 2025
Dr. Michael is a warm individual and good listener. I am happy to have him as my care giver. (PHI removed)

March 03, 2025
Healthcare is complicated for old people.
February 28, 2025
And I really like the way the doctor and the nurse treated me, very kind. The only thing I would like is that the first appointment is always a little longer and everything is fine, thank you.
February 28, 2025
GREAT DR.
February 28, 2025
I had a list of approx. 6 questions to discuss & he took time to answer them all and to review my recent labs with me. He is a good listener & explains things clearly. I have confidence in him & appreciate having him as my primary care physician.
February 24, 2025
Everything was alright. I saw the doctor. He explained everything to me. He gave me prescriptions for what I needed and I'm very happy with him. I will recommend him all the time.
February 13, 2025
dr. galbreath always listens to me
February 13, 2025
Trying to get appointments take forever to get. Phone waiting is too long.
February 11, 2025
Very difficult to schedule and appointment for something that requires immediate attention like a urine infection, high blood pressure etc. appointment wait 2 1/2 - 3 months wait. I have been a patient of PIH for may years I have never had this type of problems, usually I could schedule an appointment almost immediately. There is usually a long waiting list for specialist but not for primary care physician. Hope this problem can improve soon
