Dr. G: Medical Examiner is a reality television series that originally aired on Discovery Health Channel and Discovery Fit & Health. Dr. G, or Dr. Jan Garavaglia, was the Chief Medical Examiner with Florida's District Nine Medical Examiner's office in Orlando, Florida.
This series features Dr. G working on unexplained deaths in Orange and Osceola counties in Florida, as well as similar deaths from her previous employment as an Associate Medical Examiner in Bexar County, Texas. The show features dramatic re-enactments of the events leading up to the person's death as well as the autopsies. Interviews with Dr. G, family members, and other people connected to the deaths are also shown.
Dr. G also hosted a five-episode spinoff series titled Dr. G: America's Most Shocking Cases, in which she takes viewers out of her own morgue and profiles some of history's most baffling forensic mysteries.[1] The spinoff aired from October 2009 to April 2010 on Discovery Health Channel[2] and was narrated by Jon Prevatt.
After a high-profile career, Dr. G went into retirement in 2015.[3]
Dr. G: Medical Examiner and its spinoff were produced by NY-based Atlas Media Corporation, with Executive Producer Bruce David Klein.[1]
