After going into surgery due to a minor stroke Dr. Galvez was unable to adequately perform and provide proper care. After being in a recovery room I was transferred to another hospital where a more experienced surgeon could complete the procedure (insert a stent). Permanent damage could have been avoided had Dr. Galvez been able to adequately complete my surgery the first time. As a doctor, if you do not feel as though you can confidently complete a surgery without causing major damage to your patient you should not begin said surgery and instead pass the surgery on to someone who can.

I have had 3 procedure's in the past year and half. From diagnosis to completion was a great success. Dr Galvez was on point, had me up and working in short order. I am still enjoying his work and will go back if needed for future. And as i write this, a new problem has arisen, at 6 days short of 70 years old, things crop up, not anything from the last procedures all that is great, but now a new challenge, don't need to guess who will be my Doctor for this new situation.
