Patient Care Philosophy

“I use a team approach. I think it’s important that I work closely with patients, providing them with the best information possible so they are actively involved in deciding a plan for their care.”

“I’ve really looked up to providers who have shown an ability to connect with their patients. I want my patients to know that I am there for them and will take the time to listen, gather all the information necessary, answer all of their questions and make sure they’re completely comfortable with their treatment plan.”

- Ryan Gallagher, PA-C

Area of Specialty

“I’ve always liked science and the detective work of finding out what’s wrong, and I really like working with people. Medicine brings those two interests together, and working in general surgery allows me to help bring about big, positive changes in people’s lives.”

Personal Interests

“I enjoy almost anything outdoors like hiking, camping, biking and kayaking. I also love playing basketball, tennis, golf and football and spending time with my wife and my dog.”
