Patient Reviews
Mar 17, 2023
I was in a bad place emotionally; I tore one of two bicep muscles in each arm and my right shoulder had massive tears in the rotator cuff. It was painful to pour a glass of milk so working around the house was out of the question. Dr Galvin assured me he could repair my shoulder and the bicep issue would be mitigated through physical therapy. I am four months out of surgery and I am exceeding my own expectations with regard to recovery. Dr Galvin's skills, knowledge and compassion have greatly contributed to my physical and emotional recovery. I am able to function without pain and that is something I have not been able to say for a long time. I know Dr Galvin has my best interest at heart and he truly cares about my recovery/rehab. I am grateful to Dr. Galvin for putting me back on track because I am a caretaker and I am now able to function at levels I enjoyed prior to my injuries. Thank you Dr. Galvin!! My words are not enough but they are definitely sincere.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?
