Dr. Gallagher, placed a rod in my thigh when the femur broke a few years ago. After a fall the meniscus was broken. I was in a situation that I could not consider surgery. My other knee now has 2 meniscus tears. I saw him again today. He was so professional, courteous, and kind just the way I remember from his providing my care earlier.

Dr. Gallagher is patient and is able to give you good information but never pushing surgery which is nice since it is always a big decision.

My doctor after my knee replacement resigned. I saw Dr.Pruitt he is not a MD yet. I guess my knee issues was more than he kneeded to take on. He went and came back with Dr.Gallagher. I saw him last week. Seems my knee is puzzling. Will see him again next week. Over all still have knee issues 7 weeks after surgery. Just needed pain away. I'm sure Dr.Gallagher will take of that
