That kind of history says everything. In a world where so much healthcare feels rushed and impersonal, he is the complete opposite. He is kind, patient, gentle, and genuinely caring. You never feel like "just another appointment." He takes his time, explains things clearly, and treats people with dignity and warmth. Honestly, he could have retired years ago, but I think people like me keep hoping he never will. Doctors with this level of compassion, dedication, and old-school bedside manner are incredibly rare now. My family has trusted him with our eyes for generations, and I will always be grateful for the care he's given us. He is not just an excellent doctor he is a truly good human being.

Dr. Gallaway and his team played a big role in my recovery, so I do think that they should be a…read moretrusted source locally. However, I wanted to capture my feedback as I didn't have a great experience, and only stayed because vision therapy options are so limited in the area. I came in after my concussion injury after a recommendation from a PT, as I was hitting a wall with vestibular work. Dr. Gallaway from my first time meeting him displayed his incredible knowledge, passion, and skill and really made me believe that recovery was possible during a time when my hope was very small. Unfortunately, I didn't get to have my case handled by him and was given to his daughter (who will eventually run the practice once he retires soon). I found their approach to be quite puzzling but I was committed to getting better. They put you in a small room with 3-5 other people (usually children) and rotate you musical chairs style to different therapists. You do different activities with each therapist. However, because of this style, the continuity of care is disrupted. It wasn't unusual for me to have to remind I was "here for a concussion" every week to one therapist, or remind another of what happened the week prior, because of this format. They juggled patients so most had no context to your issue at all. Plus, having so much movement, people, bright lights, and talking felt like the opposite kind of environment someone freshly concussed should endure. (I also expected 1-on-1 care for the cost, and was sad to see it was so split.) In the spirit of being invested in my care, I reported issues or findings often that felt odd or strange, but Dr. Beckett (his daughter) often acted annoyed and did not like my participation. I was very routinely dismissed, and when I struggled with tasks, was made to feel like it was my fault by the therapists. ("You need to relax!" despite not even being tense...) The dynamic was upsetting, and I cried a few times from the frustration of being unheard and made to feel that I was the reason why it was hard (not that I was injured.) One day, after the team forgot (again) to update my home program so I could do the homework they asked me to do that week, and an exercise causing me to get sudden facial nerve pain yet the therapist minimizing it and asking me to jump back in and do more work despite it worsening, I decided I had enough and escalated my concerns with care to Dr. Gallaway personally. Understandably, he took the side of his daughter, but wrongly (and rudely) said that I had issues with "resilience" which was why I was struggling, instead of hearing that I was deeply concerned with his daughters' bedside manner, the quality of care I was getting, and that my concerns were being dismissed. (Not to mention that even if "resilience" issues were true, which I suspect really meant "too emotional", emotional dysregulation is extremely common after head injuries so this should not only be expected, but something they already know how to handle since they tout their expertise with head injuries.) We worked on finding a compromise where my case was taken over by Dr. Gallaway and I got to stick to one therapist that I got to choose. Under this more consistent approach with someone who treated me nicer, I made more progress, faster. Sadly, my concerns were still being dismissed often and I was told to "ignore" issues that I knew weren't normal. (And being told it's because I'm looking for problems.) Eventually, Dr. Gallaway said there was "no more he could do for me" despite still having many symptoms. He offered to continue doing treatment but I didn't have confidence he had a plan of what to do differently, after remarking my skills "were where they should be", and that any lingering issues was likely vestibular (despite showing marked improvement in PT), which made me seek out a second opinion. I share this because I went to another well respected Vision Therapist in Pennsylvania who actually found handfuls of issues that had been missed, some that border on misdiagnosis, and that perfectly explain the concerns and issues I had been raising throughout my care with this team. I think for children, they are great, and probably all that you need. However I don't recommend them for adults, or concussions/TBIs unless you can't travel far like I did in the beginning. Overall, they seem underprepared, in training and setup, to meet the needs of people with head injuries like me. This is a *very* talented team who is willing to accommodate and be flexible, but really could use some training, especially on bedside manner and trauma-informed care. It's clear to me that Dr. Gallaway cares about his patients, but he, like all of us, has gaps. I hope the team does consider this training and feedback.

This is quite a long review but necessary…read more I've been going to eye doctors since I first entered college. Over the years, I have been a patient with many doctors. During that time, I have had good experiences and bad experiences, the worst being in November, 2023, a few days after Thanksgiving, when I was seemingly rushed through the entire examination process with two negative results. First, I was neither able to see clearly with my eyeglasses nor my contact lenses. Second, and most horribly, even though I wore an N-95 mask, I contracted Covid with the first symptoms rearing their ugly heads three days later. As a result, I was stuck in my room for 23 days and didn't test negatively until December 23rd! Little did I know, I had mild Chronic Kidney Disease at the time and this dropped me down an entire stage in severity. I have not recovered to this very day. This horrific experience caused me to stop seeing eye doctors for fear of having my kidneys affected once again. Well, 2 1/2 years later, my eyesight had gotten so bad that my eyeglasses and contacts became totally useless. I was now experiencing migraine headaches. I just had to see an eye doctor. So, I did some research and settled on Visionworks in nearby Turnersville, NJ. What I can state, without question, is that this Visionworks office is the Mercedes of eye care facilities! From making my first appointment online, to receiving the end products, everything was great. When I first walked into the "showroom," I was warmly greeted by the receptionist, Caryl, who was smiling and seemed genuinely happy to see me. I was not questioned by anyone about my wearing a mask. My initial impression of the facility was that it was large, bright, clean and welcoming. I had already filled out the required forms online so I didn't need to waste time with those. I waited about 2 minutes when I was taken back to a room where my eyes were tested by reading an eye chart. I had an eye air puff test to check for glaucoma and I was tested for color blindness. I was then brought into the eye exam room. Who greeted me was a doctor who wore a mask and gloves and wiped down all of the equipment with alcohol that would touch my face! That immediately relieved ALL of my stress and concerns completely! Here the major evaluations were performed like I had never seen before. I saw images of the back of my eyes on a computer and this most wonderful doctor of optometry (who, sadly, asked to remain nameless) explained every single test as she performed them. She gave me the very BEST eye exam I had ever received! She was thorough, kind, understanding and most professional. She answered every question without hesitation. Back in the showroom, Caryl told me to take my time to look at the huge number of frames in every price, style and brand. I was overwhelmed by the enormous selection. I made my selection and was then greeted by a smiling Jocelyn who sat me at a desk and thoroughly explained the items that made up my bill, showing what my insurance paid and what I would owe. The final price was most reasonable comparable to what I had paid in past years. Jocelyn was so down-to-earth and felt like a friend I had known for years. She informed me of approximately when my trial pair of contacts and glasses would be ready. The bottom line is that I am able to see clearly with BOTH my contact lenses and my eyeglasses for the first time since 2006! Every person with whom I came in contact was unbelievable in how I was treated. I am extremely happy. This office now has my business. If I were asked to offer a grade for its services, it would be an easy choice: A+. Thank you to everyone at Visionworks of Turnersville, NJ! Respectfully, Jim Planamente PS: By the way, they offer a 100-Day Guarantee with no strings attached. I know because I returned my frames after one week. I made the wrong choice in their size and weight on my nose. I was not questioned and Jocelyn happily took care of everything for me. I have another frame arriving soon and was not charged a single penny for the service!
