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.

I have been a patient of Dr. Galvez for over 25 years. He is one of the most compassionate and caring doctors that I have ever known. I live 1/2 mile from the Lawrenceville office, but I drive 20+ miles to see him.

Dr Galvez is a compassionate, patience and really listens to you!
You are never rushed and he takes time to explain to you what needs to be done to take care of the situation.Because of her lengthy consultations sometimes causes delays for the next appointment but it’s worth the wait!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Galvez for around 15 years, and have always admired the way he takes the time to talk to me, helping me to understand as well as diagnosing my symptoms. He always takes the time to listen to me, and never makes me feel like he's in a hurry. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good GI doctor.

Dr. Galvez takes time with his patients and actually listens and discusses issues with you. Really does try to get to the root of the problem and not just make quick recommendations regarding procedures or medications. Have been going to him since 2004 for colonoscopy and recently for pancreatitis issue.

Dr. Galvez has being seeing me for years because I had Hep-C. Interferon didn't work for me, but Dr. Galvez worked for two years to get my insurance company to finally authorize Harvoni which worked! I owe Dr. Galvez a big debt of gratitude. He definitely acted as my advocate and is also extrememly personable. He also has done colonoscopy for me. Great guy. Great doctor.
