I know, I know...five star rating for a dentist! I must be out of my mind. Let me explain. I've been a patient of Dr. Galvan since 2006. I'm one of those people that don't care too much for going to the dentist until it's really, really necessary (like those old cartoon/comic showing a guy with a toothache wearing a bandage tied in a knot at the top of the head). I believe it's based from past experiences. I hated the drill (no pun intended)! Dr. Galvan is very "casual" (lack of a better terminology) with his approach. He makes you feel at ease, explains all of his finding(s) and present to you, in layman's terms, the best solution. You can ask him any questions that you may have and he will patiently answer it as best he can (without any condescending tone, which is very refreshing). He is very detailed with his work and provides excellent service. BTW, Leia, his dental assistant is fantastic and his office manager, Kristin is superb! I'm not the type of person who likes to give recommendations, however this is a great way to show my appreciation. I highly recommend Dr. Galvan for all your dental needs!
