    Dr showed compassion and concern about my child condition

  • Oct 26, 2023

    Dr. Gala was fantastic! He made my child feel comfortable and welcomed as it was their first visit with the provider. Dr Gala listened to our history regarding the illness we were seen for, and made plans of care with us, while taking consideration of what myself and my child were comfortable with and making sure we understood everything.

    Dr. Gala is the best and always helps me understand what is going on with my child.
