It was a joy and breath of fresh air to have Dr. Galpern as my hand surgeon

The first day I came to Dr. Galpern, he was very friendly and explained to me in detail that I tore tendons in my right hand. Instead of talking at me, Dr. Galpern talked to me. He assured me that I needed surgery and I did not hesitate. I received surgery as soon as possible with the help of Dr. Galpern and his wonderful staff. I checked in with Dr. Galpern and went to physical therapy shortly after. My hand is getting back to normal and my scar from the surgery looks great and actually cool.

Dr Galpern is wonderful!!! Highly recommend

Dr Galpern was wonderful! I had a pretty scary incident with a kitchen knife that landed me in the emergency room. He took the time on a Sunday afternoon to review pictures of my wound to determine the best path for care. The follow up visits were outstanding! He is so patient and encouraging - he took a really scare situation for me and put me at ease. As much as I would hate for anyone to have to need Dr Galpern, he is fantastic !

What was expected to be a clinical visit in the morning with maybe an antibiotic prescription on the way out, quickly turned into an ER situation with my husband ending up on the operating table in the evening. Dr. Galpern has been great at making me feel confident with the procedure and throughout healing process. He is patient and detailed with what to expect before, during, and after the operation. He's a great doctor and human.

Best Hand Surgeon in Richmond

I had a severe case of carpal tunnel and Dr. Galpern meet with me, explained everything very thoroughly to me and did the surgery a week later. Prior to the surgery Dr. Galpern met with my wife and again explained everything in detail to her. Post surgery all the pain was gone and iw as back to my normal routine within two days.

I highly recommend Dr. Galpern and would only come to him if I ever need any other surgical work on my hands.

Best experience I could ask for

After a bad cut on my hand, I was worried about short term and long term problems. Dr. Galpern and his staff took great care of me. Everyone, especially Dr. Galpern, paid very close attention to detail, and did a great job of clearly explaining everything to me in a way that made sense. My recovery was faster than expected, due to the quick follow ups and great work from the physical therapy.

Wonderful visit with caring thorough physician

Experienced a fall with wrist injury. Was referred to Dr. Galpern and was surprised when he answered the phone outside of business hours. Dr. Galpern was caring and polite and was even able to see me the same day. Thorough examination including xrays with a detailed explanation. Hope to never need him again but if I do, he is the only one I want to see. Highly recommend!!

I trust Dr. Galpern

I had a finger injury that needed prompt attention and surgical procedures. Dr. Galpern quickly ascertained the problem with an accurate diagnosis, and put my mind at ease with the upcoming surgery. The surgery was flawless and I expect full recovery.

This 'doctor' scheduled my wife for a visit that she was desperately in need of, then she was turned away when she went to the appointment. She was told he was not accepting new patients...something that should have been considered when the appointment was made.
