Dr. Galeno has presented a research paper at an International Scoliosis Research Society Meeting and has been a guest lecturer on topics involving the Spine and General Orthopedics.
"Although I perform many General Orthopedic procedures, including arthroscopic surgeries, total joint replacements, and minor hand and foot surgeries, my main area of expertise is the Spine," says Dr. Galeno. "Most degenerative problems of the spine can be treated conservatively, with physical therapy, pain management, and rest. I spend a significant amount of time discussing treatment options with my patients, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of each. Only after non-operative treatment is exhausted do we consider surgery to correct the problem. My patients are directly involved with the decision-making process. On the other hand, the treatment of spinal trauma and deformities involves more specific recommendations. In my mind, it is of the utmost importance for my patients to understand their problem and how we embark on a treatment plan for any orthopedic problem."
