“Best Hand Dr in Richmond”
Dr. Galpern is thoughtful, funny, and considerate. He treated my hand/wrist after a bad fall. He was able to get me to a healthy state without surgery but with a cast instead. His office team is extremely nice and easy to work with. I had no problems with scheduling appointments and the office generally runs on time. I highly recommend that if you need a hand doctor, see D. G!

“Excellent experience”
First time meeting with Dr. Galpern. He evaluated my finger and gave me multiple options on treatment. He recommended non-invasive treatment. This made me feel good. I will be out of town when it will be time for re-evaluation. He wasn't pushing me to come back to be seen. He even offered to meet me out of town, as we'll be in the same area at the time to re-evaluate. I would recommend Dr. Galpern 100%
