Yes, this board certified psychiatrist assists in exorcisms. Read his lovely op/ed in the Washington Post where he so arrogantly/ignorantly declares that patients are free of mental illness but are filled with evil spirits because he has second hand knowledge of things such as their "levitation" and speaking a foreign language. Bravo Doctor, you blur the line between charlatan and avid Harry Potter fan boy with physician a distant third.

Dr. Gallagher is the most knowledgeable and sensible psychiatrist I have ever met. Further, he is very compassionate and down-to-earth. He actually seems like a normal guy, not always my experience with shrinks!!
