With a staff of over 150 physicians—18 of which are from the Galichia Medical Group (GMED) — the hospital is committed to the concept of improved efficiency in cardiac care.
The combination of experienced surgeons, nurses, technology and a modern facility means Galichia Heart Hospital is able and ready to make patients as comfortable as possible. Dr. Galichia’s vision in which physicians could practice in a contemporary facility with the today’s best equipment, has come true. Now both patients and physicians can feel they’re a part of a five-star hotel for healthcare.
Dr. Richard Toon, our Chief of surgery, has performed over 5,000 heart surgeries and procedures in his career.
