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.
