Dr. Galban has been my and my families Doctor for 27 years. I cannot sing her praises high enough.. She always takes time with you, is thorough, caring and a great communicator, particularly with my Special Needs daughter. We are so lucky to have her and her care and knowledge. Dr. Galban takes her time and shows her care.

Dr. Galban strikes a good balance between professionalism and compassion. She is not my regular primary care doctor; nevertheless, she took a thorough history, made a full examination, and spent time explaining her findings and recommendations—all this at the very end of the day on a Friday. Impressive!

My husband and I transferred from another practice in town that wanted us to believe in the "new" 10 minute physical. Fortunately for us, we found Dr. Galban and could not believe how thorough a physical with her was. She took the time to go through a very comprehensive check list that covered all of our concerns. She even offered to tackle a few extras! We found her to be patient with our questions, knowledgeable and overall interested in our good health. Both my husband and I would not hesitate to recommend this practice and more importantly, Dr. Galban.

Honestly not a fan of dr.galaban, she has only ever made me feel like she does it care about me or my concerns about my health. Numerous times I have brought up concerns which she has more or less blown off, one time stating that she “did not have time to talk about this.” After all of these occasions I have found my concerns to be validated by other physicians. She cares only about “moving cattle” to make more money for herself and her practice.

Dr. Galban is my primary care MD. She is exceptionally thorough and knowledgeable, calming and explains all options. When referring to another MD, she can explain why that MD is preferred. I sent my daughter to her and she is also very happy.
