George M Galvan's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Galvan performed a Boston Scientific spinal cord stimulator on December 7, 2020. What relief I have gotten! I feel that I will be able to have a "normal" life, pain free and will be able to go back to playing golf....and enjoying it!

He changes lives and provides guidance for future back problems. Highly recommend Dr. Galvan.

Had a pre-op office visit to discuss surgical options. Waited about 5 minutes before I was called back for x-rays. Thereafter I was taken to a room for the office visit where I waited less than 5 minutes before I saw Dr Galvan. After expressing my concerns we agreed to surgery to remove a defective neurostimulater. The surgery took place about two weeks later. While my surgery was scheduled for 1000, I was actually taken back 30 minutes sooner. The surgery went well without complications.

Excellent neurosurgeon and team! I went through 6 months of excruciating pain due to 2 inch herniated disc pressing on my sciatic nerve. I wish I would've seen Dr. Galvan sooner. He gave me back my life! I'm 30 y/o and doing great 2 months post op. TNS explained the surgery and gave me ease knowing I was in good hands. Great bed side manners! I have referred my family and friends to Dr. Galvan.

I cannot thank Dr. George Galvan and his experienced team enough for giving me back my life. He has been my biggest blessing this year. I am 2 months post op and doing great! I am a 30 y/o female who is over weight and has a desk job. I was curled up in bed for months! I even took medical leave from work because doing daily tasks became very difficult. I drove 4 hours to see Dr. Galvan for my first consultation and he scheduled my surgery within 2 weeks. Surgery was quick (1.5 hrs) and minimally invasive. My disc herniation ended up being 2 inches at time of surgery (Oct 2018). I had very little pain after surgery. The hardest thing was remembering not to lift things or bend your back. Please do not wait, give Dr. Galvan's office a call. Get your life back! He saved mine. Thank you Texas Neurosurgical Spine! I have referred my family and friends to him.

Laying in bed after 2 level fusion & 4 level laminectomy-I was terrified about any back surgery. Dr Galvan & his team of PAs, NPs, and other great surgeons MDs all were part of my case. I was referred and seen on a Tuesday and am laying in post op day 2 recovery on Saturday. My severe leg pain, inability to walk and to control bodily functions are alleviated. My back pain is at a high level due to surgery but they are planning on having me see teams of PTs, personal trainers & nutritionists! A++

My life has changed. I went from being curled up in bed in pain to walking distances with a walker for safety. He left no stone unturned. He believed as I did that my age was not a disadvantage buy an advantage. I was healthy enough for the major back surgery and I felt like I was a team member in my health. I have since referred 2 people to Dr. Galvan. One is getting ready for surgery and the other is still doing the preliminary testing done to rule in or rule out surgery. I love that team.

Dr, Galvan and his staff are a gift. I went from being curled up in bed in pain to walking long distances with a walker for safety. He was a nurse before he was a surgeon. It is obvious in his bedside manner and his communication with his patients. I have referred 2 others to Dr. Galvan since my surgery. Their lives have changed for the better also. One needs surgery and the other intense therapy. Great news. I trust Dr. Galvan and his staff. He has a great P.A. (Jose Rivas) It almost seems as if they share a brain. In visits with the P.A. he would walk out to confer with Dr. Galvan. In every case, Dr. Galvan agreed with the plan set up by the P.A. Wow!!! Access GREAT!!! Results, GREAT!!! Life changing! Staff - What good does it do to have the greatest doctor if you cannot see or communicate with them. Dr. Galvan's staff is stupendous. Immediate response. Options given. Open and accessible. Thanks to his office team.

Galvan's staff scheduled my appointment , at their discretion, during the time Galvan was on vacation for a week. I only saw his PA who explained the MRI that my referring doc had already explained in much better detail. My questions were not answered and Dr Galvan never even called me back. I would not refer anyone to Dr Galvan! Just a way to make money and keep staff busy while on vacation.
