Dr. Galdes was absolutely amazing. He listened well and validated how I was feeling. He was able to diagnose me quickly and then explained different options on how to proceed and gave his recommendations. He listened to my questions and concerns , and then came up with a logical plan moving forward. It was so refreshing to see a doctor who took the time to truly listen and give best care for the patient.
