Dr. Gil Q. Galloway is a board certified general surgeon who is fellowship-trained in Minimally Invasive Surgery ( Laparoscopy). His practice is located in Encinitas, California.
Dr. Galloway uses the newest technology to perform all kinds of laparoscopic procedures. This very exciting and surgical technique allows Dr. Galloway to perform major and minor operations with minimal scarring and tissue injury. “My patients are very thrilled when they have rapid recovery from major surgery and go home quickly with scars they can hardly feel or see.”
My goal is to provide the finest possible surgical care by:
- Using the newest technology and expert laparoscopic technique to perform operations.
- Creating a warm relationship with my patients and being available to them before surgery, in the hospital, and during the post-operative period.
- Communicating with my patients to explain surgical problems, desrcibe procedures, and answer all questions.
