Dr. Gallagher is very good at explaining various options to a given medical diagnosis. Once the general possbilities are ruled out, and PT has failed, he doesn’t hesitate to make a referral to a specialist. Having a through and competent general practitioner, is fantastic! Not having to give my medical history over and over is such a relief. Also, I trust and respect Dr Gallagher.
