Went for yearly check up today. Dr. Gallagher was rude and defensive, with poor bedside manners. He asked me why I come there and seemed unwilling to work with my family doctor and me. He seemed more in the mood to fight than help! There just is no excuse for this! He wanted me to take nuclear stress test even though I am doing ok for a year, and I questioned that. He also wanted to change my medication even though my family dr. and me were ok with the blood test results. He rushed though and suggested echo test, and his staff was more interested in booking test but I said I needed to check my own schedule. Very poor job today Doc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Gallagher is one of the best physicians I have ever seen. This includes fictional physicians such as George Clooney's character on ER and Dr. House. Except that Dr. Gallagher is also one of the kindest, most caring men I have ever met. The wall at his office is covered with greeting cards from patients past. I will be sure to add myself to that wall; what a great man.

This doctor is fairly good. He takes time to talk but not only about your health. His nurse is very good, but his staff needs training. Rude and very inconsiderate. They will discriminate against you for what insurance you have. Everyone is entitled to hire a doctor of their own choice. I'm switching.....

This doctor did a cardiac stress test on me and yelled at me for not being able to breath while on the treadmill. The test should not have been done on me because my lungs were clotted and my heart was fine. I now havesever lung damage and low oxygen (Hypoxic) brain stem damage.
