What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
It’s hard to get doctors and nurses to follow thru on contacting my diabetic supply company. My supplies are always delayed due to the doctors office not updating the diabetic supply company on Dr Gallagher clinical notes.

The staff, and especially Dr Gallagher listens very carefully and then talks about all of the possible outcomes. He discusses the issues, and the possible outcomes in a way that is not threatening. I called Tuesday morning, his staff got me in that afternoon. He sent me immediately for X-rays and by 8:30 Wednesday morning we had a plan in place. I was very impressed.

Best medical provider I’ve ever had. Doc Gallagher is extremely knowledgeable with an excellent “bedside” manner! He doesn’t rush through the visit and explains things very thoroughly.

At out first appointment, Dr.G didn't make eye contact with me at all. At the next appointment, I spoke to him about how to be more personal. He's been better each time now. I think he's a shy person.
