Drew Galvez, OTD, OTR/L was born and raised in Chicago, IL. He went to Illinois State University in Normal, IL and graduated with his Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science in 2017. Following graduation, he attended Drake University in Des Moines, IA where he earned his Doctor of Occupational Therapy degree in 2021. Drew is a certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner (CKTP) through the Kinesio Taping Association (KTA) and a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).
He focused his doctoral clinical rotations in hand therapy under the supervision of multiple Certified Hand Therapists (CHTs). Drew had the opportunity to work alongside and learn from hand surgeons at Northwestern Medicine Hospital in Chicago, IL. He then relocated to Glendale, AZ to complete his doctoral capstone with a CHT, after which he attained a position in the field of his passion as a hand therapist. Drew has considerable experience treating crush, tendon/ligament, and peripheral nerve injuries, as well as fractures, tendinopathies, infections, burns, amputations, and neurological conditions. Drew takes pride in fabricating orthoses to restore function to the upper extremity and to the person holistically.
Drew’s extensive background in Exercise Science provides him with a strong foundation to create meaningful and individualized occupation-based interventions for his patients to regain their independence. He believes in treating others by the quote, “Occupational therapy practitioners ask, ‘What matters to you?’ not, ‘What’s the matter with you?’” – Virginia Stoffel.
In his spare time, Drew enjoys strength training and playing basketball. He also spends time caring for and relaxing with his two cats, Mimi and Lulu.

Excelente terapista
Drew is an excellent OT. I had surgery on my wrist (first surgery I’ve ever had in my life) so of course the entire process was new and scary to me. Drew takes the time every visit to listen to my concerns, celebrate the small victories and ensures me that even though it has been a very slow process, I am exactly where I should be and am making huge progress. Drew makes every visit unique, ensures we are performing each exercise correctly, talks to each patient individually and creates an open, safe, friendly environment. I look forward to going to PT because of the ability to not only improve my mobility and strength but to also converse with Drew as well as the other patients and be myself.
Great service, great in communication , would definitely recommend.
Drew a real pro. Very thorough and good verbal skills.
Very skillful & thorough. Personable.
Hello Drew Gálvez as an occupational therapist is excellent, he has patience, he always asks his patients how they are if there is improvement or not, etc. He is very kind.
