Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best Dr. EVER
Dr. Galvez and his team are amazing!!! 6 weeks ago Dr. Galvez removed 1:3 of my lung that had a cancer. His expertise and incredible patient relations made me totally comfortable with his plan. 6 weeks post op and I am almost fully recovered. Great surgeon, great team!!!

Dr. Galvez is extremely skilled, knowledgeable, kind and caring. I’m currently under his care for recently diagnosed advanced lung cancer. He’s easy to talk to, responds to all questions. I love that he’s upbeat and positive in terms of treatment. I feel that I’m in very good hands.

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.
