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.

Super smart Family Practice with Dr. James Gahagen
Every appointment with Dr. Gahagen is always looked forward. This doctor is the perfect doctor for Family Practice. He’s very smart and wastes no time to the reviewing my labs, addressing everything presented line by line. His expertise has shown me a much improved approach to health treatments for me and why I am the way I am. At 69 I think he is my favorite doctor because of his knowledge, skills and kindness.

Wonderful Doctor

As usual, Dr. Gahagan, listened to what I had to say. He didn't poo-poo me at all. He makes sure you understand what's happening. He discusses all the options of treatment you have. A Doctor, I highly recommend.

A great medical doctor
Dr. Gahagan is so kind and knowledgeable. He never seems to be in a hurry to leave the room and wants to give me time to understand. I like that he never seems to push his knowledge to impress, but gives enough information that helps me make decisions. If he ever leaves the Sacred Heart group, I probably will leave it also.

Annual Visit
Check in was a breeze as I did it online and was thanked by receptionist for doing so. I was called earlier than my appointment time and all went well with my lab results. Dr. Gahagan, as always was professional and caring. I always enjoy seeing him as he genuinely cares for his patients and thanks me for choosing him as my doctor.

Best Doctor & Staff @ Milestone
I have been a patient of Dr. Gahagan's since the beginning of his practice at Milestone 10+ years and he and his staff have consistently been very professional, friendly, helpful, caring, and going above and beyond for patients. He is a great listener and does everything to ensure he is meeting my medical needs and care. Thank you Dr. Gahagan and to your outstanding professional staff support.

BEST DR EVER
Dr Gahagan is our Primary Doctor and he is the absolute best! As is his staff. I am hard to please so that says a lot! Very thorough and always takes a minute to hear what you have to say! My husband and I both feel we are getting quality care!

After today, July 7, 2021, our decision may be to find another doctor that gives a crap about their patients. We've been patients of Dr. Gahagan since 2013. Dr. Gahan used to be more attentive to his patients needs and we didn't feel like he was on the clock. That is not the case anymore. I don't understand what has changed but he needs to find his soul and heart again. Dr. Gahagan is on vacation this week and no one else in his office is qualified to sign off on a prescription refill. We are so disgusted with how the office is run and how rude some of the staff treats people.

Excellent staff and doctor! As an established patient, I was able to make a same-day appointment. Dr. Gahagan and his team are very thorough and very caring! He took time to explain the condition to me, and they called in my Rx immediately. I left with my questions answered and an understanding for my treatment plan.

I have lived in Pebsacola since 2002, dr Gahagan is my 4th doctor, as the others transferred away. And boy am I glad they did. Dr Gahagan us by far the best. He has all the tine in the world for me, good eye contact, happy and smiling on every visit. He keeps me informed and on top of my numbers and over all wellness. The best part is, he tells me I’m healthy and look well. Those few words of encouragement to a (young) senior is just what the doctor ordered. It’s the best medicine.

Dr Gahagan is a very compassionate and caring physician. I feel like I am talking to a friend instead of someone that doesn’t really care about my well-being. He takes time with his patients with recommendations on your healthcare, and wants to ensure you are comfortable with your medical results after each visit. I highly recommend him as your primary caregiver. He is wonderful.

One of the best (if not the best ) doctors I have had.....and I have had many specialists and doctors. Very compassionate. Meets the patient where they are at as far as working out a treatment plan that they are comfortable with. Looks at the big picture, presents different options, reviews input of patient, is an excellent listener. Very thorough and pleasant.
