May 24, 2024
I’ve purposely waited until one year from my quadruple bypass surgery to make this review, I can now unequivocally say that Dr. Galat and his team not only saved my life, but have changed it forever. Aside from being an extremely skilled surgeon Dr Galat is the most wonderfuly gentle and kind man, he made the whole process before and after smooth and as comfortable for me as is possible when one goes through such dramatic surgery. Thank you Dr Galat, I’m a new man and forever grateful to you.
