Very good MD, I wanted 650cc Dr.G didnt seem to thrilled to do tht amout..he stated they might not sit up right..which I can respect him for tht concern. Dr. G is a very laid back and BLUNT doctor. Check in was quick and painless front desk rep was so nice. But I would recommend Dr.Gallego.. I ened up with 650cc's just wht I wanted!!!
A Wonderful Experience - Sioux City, IA
Posted by Sharahawkinson
Dr. Gallego took everything I said into consideration when we discussed my rhinoplasty and then told me, truthfully, what he thought. I appreciate this since he obviously has more experience than me. He even spent some extra time during surgery to make sure that everything looked good. With this being my first ever surgery, I was definitely scared but he and his staff made me feel comfortable and always let me know what to expect. They even called a few days later to make sure that everything was going well.

Is Your Plastic Surgeon Board Certified?

So what is the big deal anyway with board certification? Board certification is a credentialing process where physicians voluntarily complete a list of requirements...
