Dr. Galletto and his staff are well educated and pleasant to work with. Both of my children have begun with appliances and since my dentist couldn't do the work I needed because of my insurance, I too went to him. I was able to pay for everything when I could and there was no pressure. I have been around dental offices for much of my life and I know a good one from a bad one. Dr. Galletto stays educated, has a great chairside manner and explains the process well. I am sure there are cheaper Orthos out there, but you get what you pay for! ...read more

First of all I would like to say that Dr Galletto and his staff are very capable dentists. They will perform their job as needed and will take you or your child into consideration. The bad part is that when we were in their office I felt like they were trying to scare us into doing something. My wife told them we were going to get a second opinion and they said that's fine, but if you go with someone else to have the work done you will owe us $250 for the consultation and xrays that were taken. Ok so we go to another dentist that I will not mention. They made us feel very confortable and acted like this whole process was no big deal. To top it all off the new dentist wasn't charging us anything for the consultation or xrays no matter who we went to. They also ended up being $750.00 cheaper. Better service and cheaper price! This was a no brainer. In closing just be cautious when going to Galletto. I'm sure they'll do a great job, but you will pay alot more. ...read more
