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.

Dr Gallagher is a patient and caring doctor. He is easy to talk to even about the most personal issues. He is willing to spend time with his patients to help them with answers to their questions and solve problems. He is particularly helpful with peri menopausal and menopausal symptons.

I have been seeing Dr. Gallagher for years. Excellent physician, always takes the time to listen to my concerns, gentle, kind, interested in what I have to say. I couldn't ask for a better doctor to take care of my needs. If I could give him a rating of Excellent Plus I would. He's great!!

I tend to have a little anxiety when it comes to annual visits... any doctors visits stress me out. But I have to say Dr. Gallagher makes me feel less stressed. He's attentive, patient and extremely knowledgeable. He takes time to explain things and somehow seems to know when I don't get it... and then explains it again. He's awesome and I highly recommend him!

I have been going to Dr. Gallagher for over 30 years. He is always professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. He takes time to answer any/all questions, and I have never felt like he's on a tight schedule. He stays up-to-date on current medical studies and has referenced them to me. I highly recommend him to women of all ages. He's a doctor who really cares, and he's even delivered my grandchildren!
