Patient Reviews
Oct 10, 2024
Endless gratitude to the Dr.RAJ GALA The doctor knows how to convey hope, forces, and peace with a communication ethic that reflects only citizenship and safety at work. In my optics, Dr Gala is a model of the doctor, which may not be usual. After I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis couldn't believe that the excruciating pain could go away and I could walk again. I was lucky that I was treated by a golden-hands doctor like Dr. Gala. Dr Gala changed the quality of my life. For me, YOU will remain a great name. Once again, I humbly, appreciate You
