I’ve seen Dr Galiano previously for a similar procedure and no one can tell there had been any work done to restore my nose after Mohs surgery caused the need for a [ ] [ ] reconstruction. He talks time to discuss the procedure and answer any questions. His staff is terrific.

One of the best plastic surgeons avail, plus a fantastic staff. Very knowledgeable & professional. Another reason for my "10" rating is that Dr. Galiano practices at Northwestern Med. Everything I've heard about NW is excellent and I completely agree. True for the doc's, office nurses, hospital nurses, hospital tech's, etc, as well Dr. Galiano's staff. I've been a patient of several NW doc's in recent years & give them all a "10".

Doctor Galiano is an angel. People are amazed with the perfect restoration he’s done to my face. I’ve been his patient for about four years now he goes above and beyond the limits of his specialty to help me with a mysterious illness that’s destroying my skin. Doctors used to tell me good luck finding someone that will agree to operate on this illness. Well I had all the luck in the world when I landed finally in his office. I am forever grateful to what he’s done and still doing to one spot after another he never gave up on me. This saved my life by all means
