What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
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. He and his entire team are professional, friendly, and efficient. I couldn’t be more pleased with the care they have provided my wife and I so far!

I like the way Dr. Gallagher always listens to me and explains why he wants to do certain treatments etc. Also he doesn't jump to prescribing medications until necessary.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
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.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I have absolutely no complaints about Nathan Gallagher and his staff. Someone recommended him to me after having a physician for a couple years that I was not very happy with. In such a small town I was worried on who go to. After almost a year switching, I don’t know why I didn’t go to him sooner. He is an amazing physician and I have told so many people that I really am happy with him. Within the year he has ran proper test that have been the answer to a lot of medical issues. Now I have answers and no longer feel I am ignored. I give Nathan Gallagher 5 stars!!!!

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I would like the office manager to know that the MA did Not ck my BP or temp. Yet the medical student told me that my BP was good. I informed him that it wasn't taken. This could have been detrimental to a pt without controlled BP.
