“I came to Dr. Galano with an extensive sports injury to knee because he reconstructed my partners ACL some years ago with amazing results. He was thorough, passionate and encouraging. I really appreciated the whole staff and felt very cared for. We came up with a plan that I feel very comfortable with and I’m excited to have him do my surgery as I know his work first hand. Highly recommend! ”
