Patient Reviews
Oct 28, 2020
Dr Galan was amazing. I had knee replacement on left knee Jan 2020 and replacement on right knee May 2020. This is a very hard surgery to go through. Dr Galan was awesome. He let me ask as many questions as I wanted and answered ALL of them with care and understanding and made sure I understood the answer. He was careful to choose the perfect hardware for my new knees since I have metal allergies and have to have specialized prothesis. He is very caring and takes his time with his patients. He also has an awesome bedside manner and treats you as an individual. I'm very satisfied with the care I got from him and his entire staff. Thank you Dr Galan !
