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 one of the most experienced, compassionate and dedicated doctors that I ever met.

I loved her honesty and graphic explanations! I felt like everything she told me was just for me..not something she has said a thousand times! And Annalee (hope that's right) made me feel very comfortable and agreed what the Dr told me!

I spoke with Dr. Gallagher about several areas of concern. She is straight forward and does not suggest surgery if other procedures are available. She’s a pleasure to deal with!

I had a consultation with Dr. Gallagher. She is just a sweetheart. She’s attentive, caring, patient, and funny. She made me feel so comfortable. She was very thorough and cared about my results as much as I did. She answered all of my questions and addressed all of my needs. I actually can’t wait to start my procedure with her.
