What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I have referred friends to Dr. Gallager in the past. I feel fortunate with my relationship with my primary provider. He thoroughly explains the results of all blood tests or exams. After trying some medications or imaging procedures, he is open to referrals to specialists. I always leave my appointment with some new knowledge regarding my current health. This last visit he emphasized the importance of fiber in ones diet.

Dr.Nathan Gallagher and his staff are excellant. Nathan is very thorough and willing to listen. He ordered PSA tests yearly for me thus catching my prostate cancer early.
Dec 31, 2025
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
He didn’t listen to me at all. He had my diagnosis made up in his mind when he walked in the room before he ever even saw me. Wouldn’t listen to anything I had to say and acted like I was stupid and didn’t know anything. I’m a BSN-RN and have 25 years experience AND I know my body! He had one of the worst bedside manners I’ve ever seen. Won’t be seen by him ever again.

Dr Gallagher is a first rate doctor. He always explains things fully and answers all my questions. He know I’m not a fan of prescription drugs so he is always sure to explain why they are important and what he expects them to do. He explains all side effects and how to midigate them if and when they occur. I would highly recommend Dr Gallagher to my family and friends
