Dr. G: Medical Examiner is a reality television series shown on TLC and Discovery Life Channel. Dr. G, or Dr. Jan Garavaglia, was (at the time the show was produced) 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. After a high-profile career, Dr. G went into retirement in 2015.

The series was produced by NY-based Atlas Media Corporation, with Executive Producer Bruce David Klein.

The unexplained deaths that Dr. G investigates can be attributed to various causes, such as undiagnosed medical conditions, accidents, or foul play. In one instance, a woman who attempted suicide died a few days after her attempt. Dr. G found that her death was actually due to another condition and was not by her own hand. Another instance dealt with human bones that had been found alongside railroad tracks. Through an autopsy and investigative work it was discovered that the remains were those of a missing girl who had been killed by her mother.

Episodes of the show, since 2008, have been re-aired on TLC and FitTV, and the series continued with new episodes on Discovery Fit & Health following the replacement of the Discovery Health Channel with OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network in 2011. The last episode was aired in February 2012.
