think dentAL…think AL
Building an office is a group effort and the team you have makes all the difference. I had the pleasure to work with Al Galvis. Al’s personal attention to everything from choosing the proper equipment to coordinating the installation made me comfortable in knowing that I had purchased wisely and would be taken care of. Al is special in that he not only guides you in your purchases, but is also known in office projects as working well with your financial team, designer, architect, city inspectors and contractor. I personally benefited from Al’s deep industry contacts during critical phases of my construction. 
Al KNOWS dental build outs, and has the experience to help guide you when you need that custom solution. If you are building in the LA area and want it done right, there is no better decision to make – Work with Al and his team.
I met Al at the beginning of the process of looking for my new office. In our first meeting, he took the time to thoroughly explain the journey we were about to embark on. He would always educate me so that things became more clear even if it was after hours, or on Sundays, always accommodating his schedule to mine. He was always smiling, energetic and enthusiastic and never in a rush, willing to dedicate the time to give clarity to concerns as if it was his very own project. Al was consistently communicating, leading and coordinating with myself and all parties involved in the project. All being done with the utmost precision until the very end, boy was he impeccable. Through this journey, we established not only a professional relationship but a personal friendship. 
I can say without a doubt that his knowledge, confidence, and understanding of the project, created the most important thing to me which is TRUST. If you’re looking for a leader, for someone to rely on for your dental project, Al is the most important asset you can have.
It is with great pleasure that I am writing this letter for Al Galvis. I worked with Al on my new office that I built from scratch. I have had a dental office for 20 years in another location and have worked with numerous vendors. However, for my new office I decided to meet with new vendors but quickly I realized that I wanted to exclusively work with Al. He is the most knowledgeable person I have met in his field. He quickly assessed my situation, was instrumental in the design and construction of the office, worked very closely with my contractor and architect, guided me through all my equipment and technology 
selections, never tried to up sell, and was able to save me a great deal. He foresees all the potential conflicts and addresses them before they actually happen! I think every project needs Al!
Relocating our dental office was a project that we had planned for many years. We proposed our project to the dental supply company that we had worked with for the past ten years. They provided us with a proposal for dental equipment but never offered any other services or advice. We proceeded with our project on our own and searched for a new location for almost two years. Once we found the location, we immediately started working on a floor plan for the office, plans with our architect, city permits, etc. During the demolition process, we were very fortunate to meet Al Galvis. Al quickly guided us in the right direction and in less than 22 days, we had plans, financing, a skillful support team, dental equipment, and technology proposals. Al always made himself available for advice and helped us address any issues that arose during and after construction. Al is extremely knowledgeable in his profession and we always felt at ease knowing that Al had our best interests
in mind. We are very fortunate to have met Al and I would highly recommend him to any dentist looking to remodel or build a new practice.
I was introduced to Al Galvis through my supply rep. At first I was hesitant to go through a large company for my new office build out thinking I would not be given priority or the attention to detail that I require. From day one of my project Al Galvis was professional and knowledgeable. He put together a team that allowed my dream practice to become a reality. He always made sure to smooth any and all problems efficiently and immediately.
Even after the completion of my project he continues to show his professionalism and care. I plan on using him on all my future projects. Thank you Al.
I am a dentist and have been practicing general dentistry for the past 22 years. My first encounter with Al Galvis dates back six years, when I had completed my implant training. His knowledge of the products, the engineering of the different parts and their functionality, truly impressed me. Recently I relocated my office to a new location that I built from scratch. Al helped me through the whole process, guiding me in the architectural design of the physical location to moving my existing equipment (provided the moving specialists that were able to disassemble and reassemble my existing chair with no damage) to buying brand new equipment. His knowledge of the entire process was outstanding and his genuine willingness to help was heart warming. He is not only a dental equipment specialist
and consultant but also a problem solver. I certainly recommend Al Galvis to any dentist, new grad or well established, who needs prompt and professional assistance or consultation.
It is my pleasure to write on behalf of the well organized and efficient, Al Galvis. I felt very fortunate to have someone like Al guiding me through the complicated and time consuming effort that it takes to build a dental office suite from scratch, especially because I wanted to build with sustainability and eco-consciousness in mind. He was open to doing what was necessary to navigate some uncharted waters. He pulled together all the right people and 
interfaced with contractors, designers and dental manufacturers to make the FIRST dental office “Certified Green” by the City of Los Angeles. Thank you, Al. Great Job!!!
I met Al Galvis a few months ago after I purchased my new office. Working with Al has been a pleasure. He brings a lot of experience which is always great. He is also always available when needed. I would highly recommend working with Al.
Al Galvis was instrumental in getting our practice started. We don’t know how we could have done it without him. He helped design our office floor plan, introduced us to our banker, contractor, realtor and everyone else you need to get a practice started. He spent an entire day with me at the CDA meeting vendors to get the best equipment, looking ahead to the future and he has a wealth of knowledge about equipment, both large and small.He always made himself available to us, and after the project has been completed, he is still always available to answer any questions we have. Even though it wasn’t his business, he made it clear that he was invested in our success. We couldn’t have started our practice without all of Al’s help!
It is my great pleasure to write a testimonial about my experience with Al Galvis on my new office build-out. He introduced me to a great team of people that assisted me in financing, designing the office, meeting with manufacturer reps, IT specialist, and contractors. It was like one-stop-shopping. His team made my life easier by working together and doing things at the right time to meet all the deadlines. He saved me time and stress. Picking out the right equipment for your office was easy, but it was everything that happens afterward that made the project difficult. As with any project, I faced unexpected problems here and there during installation. Al also helped me and supported me in every way to make things happen. He communicated with IT specialists and manufacture reps throughout the project to make sure 
I am able to build the office I wanted. In addition, his great sense of humor makes everyone at ease and makes all other Henry Schein team members enjoy working with him.
