Dr. Galan has been very dedicated to providing dental care for children early in her career. She was awarded for her leadership in community service for children while pursuing dental school. A mother today, Dr. Galan understands the patience that is required to interact with children and most importantly, to teach them good oral habits at an early age. Her love for children has led her to expand dental services to them by providing early interceptive orthodontics.
