Introducing Myself
I am one of the highly qualified and an expert Family Medical Techniques with an invaluable experience of over 10 years. My residence is in Coconut Creek, Florida, United States. I can fluently communicate with you in English, Spanish. I will be happy to assist you via video and audio online medical consultation.
I can assist with a wide range of general medical and surgical-related concerns, especially for patients who are preparing for or recovering from procedures. This includes preoperative evaluation, postoperative follow-up, wound care guidance, pain management, review of lab and imaging results, and counselling about surgical risks, benefits, and recovery expectations. I also help patients with common acute complaints such as infections, minor injuries, headaches, digestive issues, as well as ongoing management of chronic conditions that may affect surgery, such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity.
I am a foreign-trained medical doctor with a Doctor of Medicine degree from Universidad de los Andes in Venezuela, and I have over 10 years of experience in emergency medicine, surgical care, and operating room management. My career includes work as an Emergency Room Physician and as an Operating Room Manager in one of the busiest plastic surgery centers in South Florida, coordinating high-volume surgical schedules and ensuring strict compliance with OSHA, HIPAA, BOM, CLIA, and other regulatory standards. I hold certifications in Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) and Basic Life Support (BLS), and I provide care in both English and Spanish.
If you are planning surgery, recovering from a procedure, or need clear guidance about your medical condition, I invite you to book an online consultation through DrGalen.org. During our visit, you can expect a detailed review of your symptoms, medical history, and any available test results, followed by practical recommendations you can share with your local surgeon or primary care provider. Together, we will focus on your safety, your questions, and a realistic plan that helps you feel confident about your next steps.
