Patient Reviews

June 25, 2026
I was very satisfied. Thank you.
June 25, 2026
The Dr. was very nice as always and answered all my questions. He also offered shots for pneumonia and shingles which helps my health. This is why I am willing to travel a long distance to go to PIH Family.
June 25, 2026
Dr Galbreath was attentive to my concerns and to my physical care. Easy to talk to.
June 24, 2026
Thank you for your time and for giving me the opportunity to listen to you.
June 23, 2026
The time for your appointment is to long it took me 5 months to see my doctor.It really needs to improve
June 22, 2026
Great doctor, showed a lot of concern for my health, answered all my questions, took his time with me. I really appreciate this doctor. Just a great doctor.

Thank you very much. I appreciate everything. Thank you so much. Bye-bye.

Dr. Galbreath was polite and informative.
June 12, 2026
I was very dissatisfied that I had to wait 6 months to get in to see my provider for a general checkup.
June 12, 2026
I like the doctor's care; he's a very good doctor. However, I've heard several complaints about this, and it's something I've heard others say, that making an appointment isn't easy. First of all, you have to talk to recordings, and you don't understand what you're saying, so you have to repeat yourself, wasting a lot of time trying to do that, and you have other things to do. The doctor himself is very good, but the service with the recordings is definitely not.
June 11, 2026
Good listeners and informative
June 10, 2026
Excellent care for my Primary, I trust his decisions and care of my health.

May 07, 2026
I have referred friends and family to Dr Galbreath because he is the BEST!!!!!, he is courteous, attentive, shows he really cares for his patients, as a side note: What I would suggest is for the nurses or assistants to return patient's phone calls when we have questions, it is very important to improve communication.
May 04, 2026
Made me comfortable and calm to ask any questions I had.
April 28, 2026
Yeah, I'd just like to say that Dr. Gallbreth is an excellent provider. He's really attentive. He's a great listener. He just has a fantastic way about him, makes you feel very comfortable, and he encourages you to ask questions. So I think anyone who goes to see him is in good hands.
April 27, 2026
This is my 2nd or 3rd time I see Dr Galbreath because my primary isn't available. He's always so patient, listens to everything I have to say and explains everything with clarity. Appreciate his honesty and I may consider switching primary.
April 23, 2026
The service seems perfectly fine to me. Ultimately, I don't know if some people are slightly mistaken, but I feel I'm being treated very well. I would definitely recommend the doctor and any of my family members. Okay.
April 20, 2026
Dr. Galbreath is patient, engages eye contact, and is easy to understand. We absolutely love him. Staff is kind and eager to help.
April 14, 2026
It was a successful visit. All went well.
April 08, 2026
My company insurance changes prevented me from going back to PIH for years, now that I'm able to return, I have not felt this secure with other providers, I thank God for having the opportunity to return. A huge weight off my shoulders. I have always recommended PIH even though I wasn't under their care. Thank you to all the wonderful staff that makes you feel so welcomed.
April 06, 2026
Dr. M. Galbreath and his nurse were very thorough in both the examination process and explanation of what might be causing my symptoms. Explained how my new medication may help. I was very happy how my appt went and I am hopeful that my new medication will help me feel better. I will definitely be following up with this doctor.
April 01, 2026
Always very attentive lessons carefully to my needs always offer suggestions to help very happy and pleased
April 01, 2026
The computers were down the morning of my appointment and Dr. Galbreath said he was going to put in a prescription for an antibiotic for me when the computers went up. When I went to fill the prescription, there was no prescription at the pharmacy. And Dr. Galbreath did not put the prescription in and he didn't give me a phone call or a text message or an explanation as to why he didn't put the prescription in. So that necessitated a whole other trip to urgent care for me and the problem is still not resolved. So while at the time I was treated with a great respect and what I felt was caring, I really feel that that office or Dr. Galbreath dropped the ball by not calling in the prescription as promised or at least not giving me a phone call or a text message or a heads up or an explanation as to why he didn't put in the prescription that he told me he was going to.
March 26, 2026

February 23, 2026
When I needed to get an appt. regarding pain with my right thumb I was told it would be 4-5 months but I was able to see a P.A. within 3 weeks. Happy to see P.A. fairly quickly . However, I was able to get a Wellness Exam appt. with Dr. Galbreath within a couple of weeks. Wellness exams take precedence over experiencing pain?
February 20, 2026
Dr. Galbreath is most empathetic, listens carefully and spends as much time as necessary. I never feel rushed. Wonderful doctor!!
February 19, 2026
Dr. Galbreath is very professional I Thank God to putting him available on February 19, I was needing a Dr. just like him... I wish that I had the opportunity to meet him at least 6 weeks ago. To be honest on the 19 I needed to see a Dr. Just like him. After he examined me right away he determined that I was needing am MRI on my spine if have had went to him since December 26, 2025 he would have prevent me to going to a lot of pain on my lower back right leg and knee. Honestly if PIH could have at least 85% of Doctors like him PIH would be the best Hospital across America.... (words removed).... Be gaming March 1, 2025 Dr. Galbreath officially will be my primary Dr. I've make the change the change with the insurance already.... Thank for the opportunity to give me my opinion about the visits to PIH Doctors...
February 19, 2026
I have had nothing but excellent care from this facility for many years now. Thank you!

February 10, 2026
It took me a long time to find my great primary Dr.Galbreath. ?
February 10, 2026
Dr. Galbreath is awesome.. He cares about his patients, truly listens and sees what the best outcome is for his patient. I've been going to Bright Medical(PIH) for over 40 years and they still have continue to have caring doctors. Front desk staff welcomes you, professional, friendly and courteous. The offices are extremely clean, outside landscape and parking area super clean. This is very important to me. Thank you PIH, Dr. Galbreath for another outstanding visit.
February 09, 2026
This is the first time I've been 100% satisfied with the procedures the doctor used to find the cause of my symptoms. He took immediate action by ordering blood tests and identified my deficiencies. I was pleased with that, and above all, I feel much better today thanks to the recommendations I immediately followed.
February 09, 2026
No further comment needed, the service was excellent.
February 05, 2026
Yes, look, I recommend this doctor because I've been to the ER and they treated me very badly on the second floor. But this doctor immediately takes care of you, not just as a doctor, but as family. He doesn't deserve a 10, he deserves a 20, because he treats you like family. Yes, thank you.

Scheduling my 6 month diabetic appointment had some road bumps with scheduling. I never had any issue making a timely appointment for Dr M GALBREATH.
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.

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.

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

Dr. Galbreath is a very respectful and very professional doctor.
September 18, 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
The receptionist is very friendly, the doctor is very kind, and the nurses too. Everything was excellent. Thank you.

One fantastic Doctor

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.
