How likely are you to recommend Dr. Galapo?
Dr. Galapo changed my life. After I had a thirty-foot fall, a four-level fusion, two years of physical therapy, and three separate pain clinics. I was confined to a recliner twenty-four-seven and miserable with Chronic pain. When we arrived at Dr. Galapo's office, we immediately noticed something was different. He was compassionate and caring, and he assured us that he was different from other pain doctors. He promised to do everything in his power to bring my pain under control as long as I followed the clinic's rules. He gave us a completely different medication treatment plan. The doc told us to return to start the one of the dozens of procedures He offers, and we narrowed down one that worked for me. Dr. Galapo has continued treating me for the last twenty-five years, and he found a remedy for me. I left that recliner of mine for good after less than a year with Dr. Galapo, and I can't thank him enough for the past twenty-five great years. Thank you, Dr. G.
