06/06/2025

Dr Lagalle is understanding, takes time and listens to my concerns. She answers all my questions. I feel reassured knowing she reviewed my records and is keeping me on track for my periodic annual exams.

05/30/2025

Very professional! First time meeting her great experience! My doctor is retiring soon Dr LaGalle will be my primary care physician. She made sure she covered my history and even advised that my gallbladder had been removed on my last hernia surgery which I wasn’t aware of.

05/30/2025

My initial visit with my new primary doctor, Dr. LaGalle. She did a thorough review of my health history, asked questions and listened to my concerns. I look forward to having her as my physician for years to come. 🙏

05/28/2025

Enjoyed meeting the staff & Dr LaGalle. Looking forward to her helping me with my health issues.

05/19/2025

New patient, From start to finish I couldn't have had a better examination going over my history, health concerns and goals. I left knowing more with a plan and with confidence, I can achieve my goal. Thanks for your dedication to my health.

05/07/2025

Efficient, knowledgeable and answered all my questions

05/07/2025

Dr. LaGalle was knowledgeable and had reviewed my health information ahead of time so was able to make productive use of our time. She answered my questions and made sure I didn’t have anything further to discuss.

04/30/2025

Dr. LaGalle is an outstanding physician. She remembers details of medical and personal life. She listens, suggests alternatives and is always supportive. We highly recommend and appreciate her care.

Dr. LaGalle is an excellent physician who takes time when needed with her patients, answers questions and explains what is happening with a condition. I feel lucky/blessed that she is my primary care doctor . This is the same post I sent after my last appointment. All is fine

Crystal was very informative about my husbands health an even learned a few things that we didn't know.had a very good experience with her and enjoy seeing her in the future.so blessed to have her.thank you

04/08/2025

Dr Lagalle has always handled my usually difficult 96 year old father as his physician. She works hard to make sure he understands her communications with him, and that he is comfortable with everything. A tough job, but she handles him like a rock star!

04/05/2025

Dr. LaGalle is very attentive and thoughtful answering all my questions and concerns. I feel that I am taken care of and moving forward with my health concerns. The rest of the staff is always friendly as well.

03/25/2025

Dr. Chrystal F. LaGalle is a thorough and caring Physician. She listens and plan the best plan for your Medical needs and wellbeing.

03/24/2025

We only saw her one time so far, but she did a great job. She took the time and listened to us and answer any questions that we needed answered.

03/20/2025

Great doctors. Been very happy here so far.

03/18/2025

She is very caring about her patience, and she tries to get to know her patience so she can best take care of us

03/11/2025

Dr. Lagalle has always been an excellent physician and straightforward, which I like. Thank you.

02/24/2025

I felt very comfortable and confident with Dr LaGalle, and while I would recommend her to anyone, I would especially recommend her to any woman looking for a doctor who truly listens and cares <3 The wait for an appointment might take a bit but it is absolutely worth it!

02/21/2025

She clearly cares about her patients. She did a great job asking questions about my health concerns. She helped me remember things that I wanted to address.

02/20/2025

Dr Lagalle is a 5 star!

02/13/2025

Staffer said she could get seasonal virus shot. But did not get one.

02/11/2025

Very friendly, thorough and kind. Took extra time with me as well.

01/23/2025

First visit with Dr LaGalle. I was very pleased. Little wait time and she seemed genuine.

01/22/2025

Dr. LaGalle is very personable, and I like how she emphasizes preventative care in our visits, not just reacting to symptoms or issues. I also really appreciate how responsive she & her team are when using the patient messaging portal for questions - they are always so quick to get back to me.

01/09/2025

Super nice. Answered all my questions and got me appointment fast.

12/27/2024

I was called to the exam room quickly. Dr. LaGalle is very friendly and through. Takes her time with me and is not rushed b

12/08/2024

Dr Lagalle is not only thorough, but caring. She guides me through my appointment and provides every day advice as well as specific instructions to keep me as healthy as possible. I also enjoy her personable personality. 5/5 always!

11/25/2024

I went to see Dr. LaGalle to establish primary care since moving to this area. She was very personable and kind. She didn't seem to be in any rush and took time to talk to me about any concerns. She ordered some tests and labs and I made a follow-up appointment for six months. Depending on my tests and lab results, I am curious to see if I will see her sooner. I am so far satisfied and believe she will be a good choice for my primary physician.

11/25/2024

Dr. LaGalle is so nice and kind and talks to you like a regular person. She responds to your questions on the portal and is always helpful.

11/09/2024

Dr. LaGalle handles herself very professionally and does an excellent job of answering questions and providing information about the patient's overall status and condition. She has a very sweet personality and handles everything in a professional manner. In total I would recommend her to anybody who was seeking a healthcare provider.

10/29/2024

Has been the best care I have had. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. She listened to me and my concerns and always has an answer.

10/28/2024

Dr. Lagelle was not throughout in the annual checkup. My mom is a new patient; she didn't order a blood test, a mammogram, and pap smear. (I work in healthcare so I know what the expectations are). The appointment was at 3:15 and my mom didn't get seen until 3:45 and didn't refer her to the lab when she asked. Just told her to go down there herself and tell them herself. Honestly, if you're looking for someone who actually puts effort into your health, I wouldn't recommend her.

10/28/2024

Crystal D. LaGalle,D.O. She is a great doctor.

10/26/2024

Always on time. No wait. She is attentive your problems and is very kind.

10/24/2024

I have had no problems with Dr Lagalle except for the fact that I can't get anyone there to return a phone call. I left 3 messages several weeks ago trying to get test results. After 10 days, a nurse called me. This week, I left a message on Monday-this is Thursday. No callback yet. All I need is for someone to tell me how and where I can get the RSV vaccine. I talked to the scheduler but she said they are separate and all they can do is transfer me again. I was told by my pharmacy I had to have a doctor's order for the RSV shot. Apparently, if I want any kind of care outside an appointment, I would have to go to the ER.

10/24/2024

Dr. LaGalle takes time to answer my questions and seems to be invested in my health outcomes.

10/22/2024

Excellent provider. Takes the time to listen and answer questions

10/22/2024

Thoughtful, listens and proactive to future care.

10/11/2024

Very much appreciate Dr LaGalle’s assitance in providing physician statement for my employer as a requisite for appropriate reasonable accomodation.

10/08/2024

Dr LaGalle is caring, knowledgeable and spends time listening and responding. She makes sure you understand what is happening in your body and what she is doing to solve the problem.

10/02/2024

Great attitude like her as my Doctor

09/20/2024

She is awesome, she is always helpful & friendly with me and listen to me patiently, I’m very comfortable with her, I’m very glad that she is my physician, I love her 🥰

09/13/2024

Always listens and engages you in choices of treatments. Follow through on results is quick.

09/13/2024

My visit with Dr. LaGalle was very informative. She is very thorough and she always takes the time to listen to my concerns and answers my questions.

09/12/2024

Thanks you for your service 🙏 ❤️

09/10/2024

Dr. LaGalle is a great doctor she always listens to me and is very nice. If something comes up she is there for me and will send me to a specialist if needed

09/10/2024

Dr LaGalle has been the best PCP I've had. After retiring I chose her as my PCP and it's been all positive. Besides monitoring my health issues she has offered her skills to secure a healthier lifestyle for my future. Her conversations with me are precise and clearly on point. She speaks to me in ordinary language which puts me at ease. I always leave my PCP's office with a smile because Dr LaGalle is the best!

09/10/2024

Always pleased with my patient visits with Dr. LaGalle! She is thoughtful, thorough and is a good listener. I never feel rushed and always leave with the feeling that I am receiving excellent care.

07/26/2024

Dr. LaGalle is very knowledgeable and thorough. I know, when I leave there, that she has listened to my concerns and has a plan for treatment. She is also proactive in helping me maintain my health by making sure I have all the preventative care I need. I am very happy with her as my primary care provider.

07/08/2024

I absolutely love Dr. LaGalle. She's thoroughly, present when in the room (doesn't tune you out), open to my opinions, will to try things outside of the conventional western medicine culture, doesn't mindlessly prescribed medicine and isn conscious of it! It's taken me some time to find another PCP since my last retired, as I have a standard for all of the above. She's a keeper!

07/04/2024

If you want a Dr who REALLY cares about your well being, listens to you, doesn't rush you, knows what she's doing. Then Dr Chrystal LaGalle is the doctor for you. She was extremely good to my mother & that's why I chose her. She's been the best to me also. NO regrets for choosing her!

06/19/2024

I saw Dr LaGalle for the first time yesterday and I was definitely happy with my choice.. she sat and listened to everything and took her time explaining everything to me. I didn't feel like I was just being rushed in and out. I feel like she truly cares.

05/30/2024

I'm always treated good, reception, nurse and doctor. Dr. LaGalle listen to me and always takes the right steps needed

05/22/2024

I looked for a Dr who would "see" me and listen to me. Not just see an illness or condition but see all of me and then offer choices, encouragement and kindness. One that knows her work and continues to build that knowledge. Dr LaGalle is the best for me and at my appt. she saw me and listened and offered her guidance. She is exceptional and I'm grateful for her.

05/21/2024

Love Dr. She talks,explains,gives advice. Super understanding.

05/13/2024

Dr. LaGalle takes great care in my health. She actively listens to my concerns and offers suggestions. Since going to her for my medical needs I have gotten everything under control and I've never felt better!

05/04/2024

Dr. LaGalle is an excellent doctor. She is very thorough, goes over my lab results, answers all my questions, and listens to any concerns I have. I do highly recommend her.

05/01/2024

Dr. LaGalle listens, proceeds carefully and truly cares about her patients. I have been going to her for years and thankful she is my physcian!

04/25/2024

Dr. LaGalle is wickedly smart, caring, listens and is a wonderful physician . I’ve been going to her for years!

04/14/2024

I appreciate Dr. LaGalle so much. She is a very good listener, calm and caring.

03/26/2024

My primary doctor retired, Dr Hanson and she was the real deal. She always fit you in if something happen that was an emergency. I had her for over 25 years. I didn't know who to pick and unfortunately, it was Dr Lagalle. The office is not run professional and if you get sick too bad. It maybe next year if and when they can get an appointment for you. I do not recommend her or this practice. I recently found another medical facility and it's a 360 from this place.

03/09/2024

I have been with Dr. LaGalle for many years now. I am confident in her abilities and advice. She listens to what I have to say. We have a very good doctor patient relationship. I would highly recommend her.

03/04/2024

Dr Lagalle is ever the champion of women and men. She will always take the time to help you understand your issues. I consider her a friend who has my best interest at heart.

02/22/2024

My appointment was on time with personal attention and detailed information on my blood work. Dr. LaGalle also gave me suggestions for continued health care.

02/16/2024

Dr. LaGalle is compassionate, caring and committed to providing exceptional patient care. Dr. LaGalle provides holistic care and is up to date on the latest best practices.

01/08/2024

Dr. LaGalle is wonderful. She is knowledgeable and thorough. I never feel rushed. The office staff is upbeat and efficient.

11/23/2023

Dr. LaGalle takes the time to ask me questions and inquire about my daily activities and living. She listens to my concerns and provides her recommendations. The only problem is that, she is highly sought out so it makes it hard to schedule appointments with short notice

10/27/2023

Dr LaGalle is the best Dr I've ever had! I refer her to everyone!!

10/20/2023

Very nice clean Jamie was very helpful did not feel the shot for shingles at all Doctor LaGalle was great went over all my meds and asked me how I was feeling. I did tell her that I lost some weight but I gained it back so this time I’m gonna try to do it a little slower and maybe keep it off for a while. Everything else was great. I love my doctor and her nurse.

09/20/2023

07/07/2023

First appointment with Dr.LaGalle. She took my concerns seriously and had the proper tests done. Would recommend her.

07/04/2023

I was able to get an appointment the same day and waited less than five minutes in the waiting room. The nurse was kind and cheerful. Dr. LaGalle listened to my concern and took steps toward resolving it. Great experience all around!

05/17/2023

02/17/2023

Dr LaGalle is really one of the best. She listens to my concerns and will give the best possible treatments. She is always looking out for my well being, and that is really important to me.

01/31/2023

Had good first visit with Dr. LaGalle. She went over my history and med list. Very helpful. But when I needed help with some issues I was told I need to find someone to help. What?? Then recently I've had some severe cough, sore throat,. Sinus pain. Hopeing for advise, a rx to take care of infection. After the nurses ask for my Pharmacy. I was told I had to come in. I'm really sick and driving 150 miles, no way. So disappointed. I'm done. Went to UnitedHealth Care found a Virtual Telahealth. I took pictures of my throat and told the Dr. All of my systems. Sinus infection. Got meds. They are on the way being delivered. There is a better way when you can't see your Dr. Sad this didn't work out. Miss Dr. Hanson.

01/20/2023

During my first visit Dr. LaGalle was friendly, professional and really listened.

01/19/2023

My experience with Dr. LaGalle is always positive. She is a kind and caring physician.

01/18/2023

This is my first time seeing Dr LeGalle. She was very thorough at my checkup. I think she's going to be a very good doctor for myself and my husband.

12/20/2022

Appointment canceled

12/19/2022

Great

12/12/2022

Nice staff and Doctor.

12/02/2022

Last visit was a BP check with Jamie, RN. My BP was high. Before the business day was done Jamie called to say Dr. LaGalle had ordered an increase in my BP meds and called my online pharmacy. Very fast customer service.

11/27/2022

Me gusta mucho ,la atención es muy buena y rápida, la asistente médico muy agradable y la Dra maravillosa, muy atenta y profesional

11/12/2022

Dr. LaGalle makes time for her patients in a way that it seems the healthcare systems tries to make impossible for physicians to achieve. She makes you feel heard and cared for and does not minimize any of your health concerns. During my appointments I do not feel rushed and on the occasion that I do need to reach out to her team I get a response in my patient portal extremely fast. I feel so lucky to have found such a great doctor here in Kansas City.

11/01/2022

Dr. Lagalle literally saved my life. In a time when providers are few and have less time with a patient, Dr. LaGalle listens. She really listens. If you let her treat you and not you tell her how to treat you, her expertise is sharp, focused and intelligent. She listened to me last February when no one else was and saved my life by doing so. She directed my care to the best possible experts by understanding and identifying what was happening to me. And to be honest what was happening was not ordinary it was rare. 1 in a 100,000 people have what I experienced according to my CardiacThoracic surgeon and Cardiologist. She got me to them for what care I needed urgently. I will go to her and seek her care for as long as it is possible.

09/21/2022

I transferred to Dr LaGalle at Dr Hanson’s opinion when she retired. I have seen Dr LaGalle only once. To be honest I hate changing doctors but had no choice. I believe Dr Hanson’s recommendation was on target. Dr LaGalle listened to what I had to say, asked questions and asked if there was anything else I would like to discuss. She has set up the labs that we discussed was very open and direct in a polite manner. In all my first visit and impression of her is very good. We will see how things go as time passes and get results of tests etc. I am hopeful for my future here in her care. Honestly I was leery at first having read previous reviews but I have found my experience to be a positive one.

09/21/2022

Referrals to Specialist are slow or non existent. Lack of follow up with pt. On test results this is extremely concerning with positive results especially with Patients with multiple long-term health care issues. Disappointed because she came highly recommended.

09/17/2022

every single time I have an appointment she asked me why am I there, I figured she would at least know that and I can never get her or the nurse to call back in a decent amount of time and my pharmacist send message after message after message for the same medicine which never gets filled I have to call leave a message after message after message for the pharmacist to even get the script for the medicine. She doesn’t have a great bedside manner to me.

12/14/2021

I am a new patient, having only seen Dr LaGalle one time, but she gave me a good first impression. She was not in a hurry, listened carefully and gave me some thoughtful suggestions for my issues. A few days after my appointment I had a question and her nurse called back with a response on the same day. So far I am very happy with this doctor.

04/14/2021

I love Dr. LaGalle my friend Died last year from Pancreatic and liver cancer Dr. LaGalle Remained by our side throughout that time I always feel like she takes time to listen to me in is truly concerned about my well-being. She is a blessing from God

03/31/2021

I enjoyed meeting her. She was friendly and knowledgeable. She asked questions to understand my needs and health goals and listened closely to my needs. I look forward to working with her towards my future health goals.

12/21/2020

Professional and reasonable, evaluates, and reevaluates current treatment plan. This allows Dr LaGalle to implement ways to improve care and ultimately your health. So not just more of the same, should there be something better.

09/03/2020

I have been with Dr. Lagalle for over a year and each time she was extremely understanding and explained it well. She has never rushed herself and has always been on time. She is an excellent provider whom I am recommending to my other family members.

06/23/2020

I have been a patient of Dr. LaGalle's for a few years now and among this time the most common theme I have encountered has been the "inability to reach her or her RN any time that I've called". I leave messages to get back with me, whether it may be for a routine checkup or if I'm attempting to set up an appointment for a more serious matter, the result is the same. This has been an ongoing theme, even prior to the Covid-19.

11/16/2019

She will help you find good solutions to problems by collaborating with patients. I highly recommend Dr LaGalle.

06/20/2018

Rude and condescending. Nurse is rude too. Will find new GP as soon as possible.

04/11/2018

Dr. LaGalle is a Blessing to both my husband and I. I was having troble with my asthma and pain in my legs, Dr. LaGalle did all the right stuff. Thank You

02/02/2018

Went to her after szilagye retired, talked down to myself and my family, was in hospital and fired her next day. No people skills, stay away!

12/05/2017

I advise caution when considering Dr. LaGalle. The minute she walked in the room I could tell something was wrong. She immediately questioned all the medications I was taking, even vitamin D and niacin. Her tone was hostile and condescending. She said she didn't know anything about one of the medications I was taking and FALSELY assumed I was HIV+. I told her she was wrong and that I felt I was being discriminated against and asked to speak to a manager. I advise avoiding her.

02/05/2017

This woman shouldn't be a doctor. They are supposed to help their patients not criticize them. Actual this doctor is one of the worst. My brother who is handicapped went to see her and she treated him like crap. The only time she touched him was only when she shook his hand. Then she told him to get out of her office. Terrible bed side manner. I give her a negative rating. You don't go around treating people like that. Get a different profession.

11/03/2016

Had to find a new Internist. Chose Dr. LaGalle. She was excellent on 1st visit. Listened, engaged, thorough.

12/24/2015

very clear with medical advice ,listens to all health issues and then some ,she has helped me on a personal level when i needed someone to talk to .treats you like your the only patient she will have the whole day!!
