I was with a male doctor for 30 years. As I aged he became more and more dismissive. Dr. Galanes listens and responds appropriately. I feel heard and I trust her judgement for medical care.

10/29/2025

I know some people will just give their provider the highest rating because most people would not give a low rating due to fear of retribution. But I can say with absolute certainty that Dr. Galanes is the only physician I trust to give me the best care possible. She is a wonderful diagnostician, she thinks through all possible scenarios when it comes to treatment options, and she always has my best interest at heart. She does real time research in the treatment room to ensure the best outcomes based on my specific situation and medical needs. I can think of only one other physician who took this much care and invested that much time and effort into ensuring I was cared for in the best possible way. Dr. Galanes has a thought process that goes beyond the typical solutions. She thinks outside the box and reviews all possible solutions to an issue. I am so grateful for her expertise and support of my health.
