Long time patient. Probably wouldn’t have survived and been productive without his help.

Dr Gallagher also will do weekly counseling if you are between therapists and will refer to therapists for ongoing therapy. He works hard to meet your needs so you do not fall between the cracks if you have to change therapists due to insurance changes, etc. Very knowledgeable and kind in his approach.

Dr Gallagher has accurately diagnosed me and is a good listener with good advice/answers. The downside, his office manager, Cliff has been 100% terrible in providing service to the patients. He is extremely rude, rarely answers the phone-rather you have to leave a voicemail and he will eventually get back to you. Is it not 2013? I had the worst of all experiences with him on the phone today and it has made me consider very seriously whether I will continue to see Dr Gallagher.

Dr. Gallagher provides patients with the "tools" to get well and stay well, and not to remain dependent on him and/or weekly visits. He is what the medical profession needs more of.
