William James Gallagher's Online Review Report Card

Met with Dr Gallagher to assess shoulder issue. He was able to diagnose and prepare a course of action going forward. Very happy with care I received.

My visit was excellent. Dr. Gallagher asked about my concerns and made healthy suggestions. I will recommend him to family and friends . I give him the highest rating.

I recommend going to Dr Gallagher. His bedside manner is great makes you feel very comfortable and knowledgeable

I have been a patient of Dr Gallagher since 2020. He is caring and compassionate. He listens and provides options and answers.

Never read or explained my MRI..he glanced at it for less than a minute, Had the needle, cortisone, out in under 5 minutes..never explained to me the side effects other than non chalantly telling me it would either work or not.Told me I can do anything physically that I wanted to do! Walked into this Dr's office and could barely walk out after he jabbed me..my knee went down hill from there. This was not an injury and never had a problem with my knees and I am a very active person. This Dr. never inquired about my history..nothing..I have a severely torn medial meniscus among so much more ..he said that is not causing my pain! I have never had any pain from arthritis so obviously its my meniscus torn in multiple places causing my pain which has been 10+ since stumbling out of that office. Patient beware.. was rushed and biff boof bam and thank you Mam! How much is that cortisone shot? This person is better suited for young athletic people but not for my situation, worse now.

Today I had a second appointment with this guy and walked away with no clear diagnosis. On the first visit I was told I have arthritis and possibly a torn meniscus. I was given a cortisone injection. Today I saw him, explaining the PT is concerned more aggressive treatment could cause more injury, so they think an MRI would help determine the best approach for treatment. Dr. Gallagher said an MRI would not change treatment and now he thinks it is a soft tissue issue, like bursitis. I have no interest in seeing a doctor who works off mixed guesses for what he's treating. I was able to get a script for an MRI but he was reluctant in writing it. I will take my results somewhere else.

Dr Gallagher ensures he spends the time to explain the test results and treatment plans. He is very thorough and attentive to the patient.

Was very short and somewhat disinterested. Felt like "say what you have to say quickly" and don't ask me alot of questions. Had 2 visits with him and will not be returning. for a third.

Met with Dr Gallagher a few times. Was concerned about my situation. Discussed options with me me. Was professional.

I felt like I was wasting his time the way he spoke & acted towards me. Slight attitude. I also felt he pushed physical therapy when I can't use it in this area for inflammation. Stalling to give a shot for inflammation when it was badly needed. I don't know if I want to go back to this group. Are all doctors now afraid to give a shot in the office without all the visits?
