Galitzer Michael, MD

I have to let others know that I have been going to Dr. G for over 35 years… I am so grateful to have him on the planet. He knows the body and has ways to support you holistically to maneuver through most ailments. I am had many different health challenges and each time I rise strong and with a greater knowing about my relationship with my body. I have been blessed to have him and Luck, the office manager in my life. For me they are a God sent… JC

To: Dr. Michael Galitzer,
I found out about you from Suzanne Somers book called «Knockout». Mrs. Somers spoke highly of you among other doctors. I have a lot of respect for Suzanne Somers achievements and I am a big fan of hers. I am currently looking for a good Doctor for my family (4 pp.)
However after reading the negative comments on Unilocal about you and how your receptionist has treated your paying patients, I must say I am shocked and very disappointed.
With respect to your position, many people already say that Doctors are arrogant and have a very bad attitude towards people. Doctors think they are God’s gift to people.
Sir, you took a oath to treat patients in the best way you can. That includes respecting them. Your office employees or receptionist cannot treat patients or potential customers in this manner. I guarantee you they would have no chance to talk to me that way.
My experience is in Research for products, services and even people. I’ve been around «corporate America» for a very long time and understand it’s impossible to keep every single customer happy, but that does not give your office employees a right to harass and disrespect local patients.
Charging $ 800 per visit with a $ 300 Cancellation Fee, is Unethical, Unfair and Deceptive business practices. While you’re at it why don’t you charge $ 2,000 per visit? that way you only get wealthy patient.
«We the consumers» Judge Businesses based on their actions and Not what you advertize to be.
so far, your actions speak differently than your interview with Suzanne Somers. I am in processing of writing a letter to Suzanne Somers office about what I have read on Unilocal.
If you are smart and if you care for patients, you would then change your office policies and prices. No matter how good you think you are, this is NOT the way to treat patients.
Based on what I have read, I would Not recommend your office to anyone.
Mr. Frederick H.
Los Angeles, CA

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Galizter since 2009. While we were temporarily living in L.A. We now travel 8 – 10 times a year from Texas to see Dr. G. He is a genius and knows what he is doing. Luck, his office manager is an Angel and always works hard to get us an appointment when we are traveling to L.A. I have sent my brother and two other friends to see Dr. G and they have all seen great results.

Dr Galitzer saved my life. When I went to see him 8 years ago I could barley walk a block, I was dizzy, shakey and an emotional mess! I was not a happy camper… I had been given some supplements from another dr that had fryed my system. When I met Dr Galitzer he was so kind and so informative and answered all my questions, took his time with me and reassured me that I would be ok. After my first visit I felt much better. …and from then on i started really feeling great. I love his office and anytime I need anything, Luck, his office manager, is so quick to help. she is lovely. I think Dr Galitzer is a genius. He is so incredibly knowledgeable about our health and bodies and how it all works and goes together. Over the years I have sent so many people to see him… some really sick and some healthy who just wanted to stay that way. everyone is very happy with his incredible level of care and expertise. I have never me anyone as good as he, I swear by him. I am so happy he exists in the world. He makes it a better place! And he Loves what he does and adores his patients!!! He is the best!

Dr Galitzer has been my doctor for over 8 years. He is a very dedicated doctor and a caring person. No matter what impasse I have been through physically and or emotionally he is there for me, and is ready to help me sort it out.
He has empowered me throughout the years to own my own health journey and to achieve all my health goals.
With a deep understanding of prevention and a compassion for any hard to understand ailment he is a pioneer and teaches his patients to be as brave as he is and to demand the best for ourselves.
I admire him for this and I appreciate him immensely.
Luck his assistant is a love. I can always rely upon her for anything I need, she too is dedicated to health and to the practice and she is always sure to get me in regularly so that I can stay on top of my health needs. Both she and Dr G. feel like family to me, I don’t know what I would do without them. Normie the IV nurse is there weekly and in spite of my being a tough stick, she hangs in with me and gives me my IV’s when I need them.
I can’t recommend this doctor highly enough, No matter where you are on the road to health… if you are struggling with an illness or if you just want to optimize your health Dr Galitzer will become an asset to you. Call him today, he will help!

I visited this office in person during the investigation phase of my recent «return to health» journey. I was looking for heavy metal detox. I realized that the long and complicated list of health problems I’d been experiencing were from heavy metals, primarily mercury. The mercury subject takes longer to discuss than the space provided for here, but suffice it to say that, if you have a list of «mystery» ailments and have already gone through all of your PPO options (physicians, acupuncture, chiropractic, etc.) and are still looking for the answer (and a cure) to your lack of energy and other confounding issues like food sensitivities, gut issues (or much worse, neuropathy, immune issues…), there’s a high chance you have a heavy metal problem. It’s severely underdiagnosed because most MD’s don’t know how to look for it via testing (blood and urine can show low metals, because your body is holding onto the metals — some are «poor methylators»). Statistics are pointing toward mercury for everything from CFS, fibromyalgia, ADD/​ADHD, lupus, «autoimmune», thyroid dysfunction, dementia, bi-​polar and MS. Really.
So, at Dr. Dalwani’s recommendation, I walked over to Dr. Galitzer’s office to ask about what sort of chelation therapies they utilize. I was told Dr. Galitzer provides IV chelation (this was in Spring 2013). When I found out just how much an office visit would cost ($ 800), I walked out.
This wasn’t just unaffordable, this was ludicrous. I’d already learned at this point, from a book called «Amalgam Illness» that IV chelation was considered dangerous. That it can permanently damage patients. Andrew Cutler, PhD, the author of Amalgam Illness explains more in detail why. Or, you can check out a website called DMPS Backfire. (To learn more about safe chelation, check out a website called Living Networks and google «frequent dose chelation.»)
I felt compelled to write this post to possibly reach those who simply cannot afford an $ 800 office visit. Folks: it ain’t necessary! Yes, some of the «energy» therapies offered here are probably really helpful, but you can get them elsewhere. If you have a history of several years of «mystery» condition and your regular MD has said all your stats and tests look normal, but you just *know* something’s wrong, instead of spending $ 800 for your first visit, check out free online information about mercury and heavy metal poisoning and frequent dose chelation. Metal fillings are the #1 way we are poisoned by mercury, but some people have had other exposure: broken CF bulbs; eat a lot of tuna, swordfish, etc.; work around paints; history of working in a dental office. Testimonials abound online — you don’t have to take my word for it. «Energy medicine» is a great adjunct, but don’t you want to actually address the cause of your decline in health? There are many unsafe ways to «detox» metal that will actually push the metals into your brain (e.g. cilantro and alpha lipoic acid). Very few MD’s understand this because they’re too busy working their $ 800/​hour practice and don’t have time to stay current on the research.
Do yourself a favor and do your own research before giving this physician your next car payment to tell him about your aches and pains. I’m glad I walked out. I’ve been chelating for the past year on the «frequent dose chelation» regimen (very low cost) and have regained my health: more energy, better memory, food intolerances are disappearing and back to exercising like in the old days.
p. s. If you read the doctor’s response, it may just make your jaw drop. Glutathione and chlorella for mercury detox! OMG. Don’t you want to remove that pesky brain mercury too? Plus, chlorella can put metals *into* the body… oy! Google «mercury» + «glutathione» + «Andy» for specific info. Andrew Cutler, PhD explains why both are not to be used in his book Amalgam Illness and in the numerous web posts archived in the «Frequent Dose Chelation» Yahoo group. There’s not room to go into it here. Just google «frequent dose chelation» for that info. It’s plentiful. The Yahoo group has many archived documents to fill you in. IMHO emergency room medicine doesn’t prep a practitioner for chronic (i.e. long term conditions), those are really the opposite of one another. ER docs usually deal with immediate life/​death scenarios. Chronic conditions are subtle and often like a tapestry that needs to be unraveled. When you chelate metals, your body is going to feel it. If you’re like me, you’ll want/​need regular support and you can get that like I did, online (free) on the Yahoo group and elsewhere from knowledgeable folks who know more about chemistry.

Dr. Galitzer is not your average doctor, he is smarter than your average doctor… In fact he may be some kind of medical genius. That said, I am only giving him 4 stars because I could not afford to keep seeing him. Dr. Galtzer has a distinct bedside manner:
he knows he is a genius,
he knows how to fix you,
therefore, you should do what he says or not waste his time.
That’s why I am not sure if I will ever be able to see him again… His receptionist Luck is a breath of fresh air, she is kind and considerate and yet runs a tight ship. When I had to cancel my last appointment I could feel her disappointment through the phone, she was rooting for me. She wanted me to work within their system and succeed! Unfortunately, by not going I think the office felt I was choosing to fail when really I was choosing to make rent and pay for my kid’s medicine. IF YOU ARE BLESSED ENOUGH TO AFFORD THIS PLACE GO!!! FOLLOW THE RULES and SAY THANK YOU, REALIZE IT IS A LONG TERM COMMITMENT! If you are not, don’t start yet… if I could do it over I would have planned and saved to be able to keep up with the once a month visits after the initial consultation. Nothing is more important than health, I wish I had a time machine and knew what I know now. I hope this helps someone else be a more successful patient.

My experience with this Doctor was primarily over the phone, which to say was bad enough. As life happens with all its contingencies I had to cancel an appointment. The receptionist wouldn’t for the most part let me cancel and reschedule the appointment to a better time. Now mind you I was canceling within the allotted time frame. I was told if I didn’t make it that day of the appointment it would be a cancellation fee of 300 dollars. Seeing as it was a moot point with the receptionist I simply didn’t show up. The Doctor later that evening approximately 9:10, called me in the most foreboding voice and told me to never, ever call his office again. This was an exhibition of the most unprofessional behavior I have ever experienced. I am still in shock over his office staff’s demeanor as well as his.

I was feeling horrible about a year ago and was referred to Dr Galitzer
by my chiropractor. I had already been through a number of tests but had no idea what was wrong with me.
First of all, Luck, Dr. Galitzer’s receptionist is a sweetheart and an angel. I truly enjoy the time I spend with her and the great care she takes to make sure I get everything I need.
Second, Dr Galitzer is a GENIUS! Two hours with him and I understood my body and how it works better than I ever have in my life. He was able to give me a diagnosis on the spot and offer solutions instead of just throwing drugs at me like so many doctors do. My health has continued to improve over the past year. I never feel worn out any more and have learned so much about all the junk in our food it has really helped me to make good decisions. I have also lost 23 pounds with that knowledge.
Seriously, Dr Galitzer is the best!

I am so grateful that I found Dr. Galitzer! What an amazing help this Doctor has been to me and my family! I would recommend him to everyone I know. He has been gracious and kind and caring and I am not a celebrity. My husband who was very skeptical but after 4 specialists had been unsuccessful in helping him for over four months, Dr. Galitzer was able to diagnose the root issue and within a week my husband felt like a new man. I could not recommend him more highly.

Terrible service! The service quality made me feel like doing business with AHI was an imposition to them. The receptionist was rude, demeaning, and rigid in every dealing we had with her, and Dr. Galitzer was arrogant and overbearing. Perhaps they give better service to celebrities, but everyone else be warned!
