Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Doctor of Urology
Dr. Gallagher is the third Urologist I have seen in my lifetime (the first 2 retired) and is easily the best. I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in 2016 and he performed the robotic procedure with amazing skill and compassionate treatment. I required additional surgeries during the next year and each time he provided the best care I could ask for, spending all of the time with me I needed to resolve questions and make decisions about my health and treatment options. When the cancer came back in 2018 he referred me to John Stoddard Cancer Center, where I received life-saving treatment and am cancer free today. Dr. Gallagher followed me through every step, and it gave me great comfort to know he was still monitoring my journey to back to good health. I highly recommend this excellent and compassionate doctor.

Dr Gallagher is an excellent Urologist. He successfully performed Green Light Laser surgery on my prostate which has made a wonderful improvement in my life. He diagnosed my disease well, clearly explained how he would proceed and scheduled me promptly at my request. He has a very professional yet friendly personality and a competent staff that made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I highly recommend Dr Gallagher.

I have seen a couple of different Urologist. I saw Dr Gallagher a few weeks ago for a procedure. He was very compassionate and listened to my concerns. He explained the procedure to me while he was doing it. I left the appointment feeling reassured. I will definitely be going to him in the future.

Got pregnant weekend AFTER being cleared! Doctor asked me if my wife cheated on me because it was unlikely I could have gotten her pregnant right after. I had them recheck, and they said it was like I never had one. Ended up having to have two vasectomies bc they thought they cut the wrong thing!?! I've been in constant pain for the past 2 years since. It was beyond traumatic and will probably cause me medical problems the rest of my life.
