Highly recommend
Very thorough and listened to all my complaints. A refreshing new perspective on my shoulder problem which has already had six surgeries.
I appreciated Dr. Galland’s thoroughness and his demeanor. I’m very pleased with my new orthopedist. beautiful office!
Nice person, seems very knowledgeable. I was dreading the shot, but it wasn't bad at all.
Dr. Galland is informative, confident and excellent at what he does!
Dr. Galland did a great job in listening to my concerns and was very thorough in coming up with a plan to address my needs. Highly recommended.
Dr. Galland has a great energy and humor about him that really impressed me during my first visit with him recently. He listened to my concerns, asked me questions and took the time to explain his assessment of my injury. He showed empathy regarding high copays and suggested I do exercises at home in the coming weeks to help increase my range of mobility while waiting for the effects of my steroid shot (the first of two). He also suggested I visit the RecovR center in the future to have a physiotherapist help me with stretches for my shoulder. I look forward to seeing him and his team again in the coming weeks.
Excellent.
Dr. Galland was very thorough, explained my condition, procedures, and options efficiently. I felt confident of his competence and highly recommend him.
Dr. Galland has been my Orthopedic specialist for the last 7 years. He is always thorough, open, positive, and provides excellent care.
