Growing up in a large family, Dr. Gallagher loved taking care of and interacting with people. Her father and grandfather were both physicians, so it was only natural that she would follow in their footsteps. She chose pediatrics because she likes watching children grow and change over time. She finds it gratifying to help guide her young patients along a healthy pathway. She practices in the Western Hills area where she was born and raised.
A primary care pediatrician since 2013, Dr. Gallagher has gained valuable experience working with children from newborn through college. Working at a level 2 nursery, she has cared for pre-term babies and newborns with complications. She feels comfortable helping her patients with a wide range of conditions.
Dr. Gallagher wants to meet her patients on their level, answering any questions they ask. She encourages more family time, sharing meals, playing and engaging in healthy activities.
Married with two young sons, Dr. Gallagher enjoys spending time with her family, enjoying the outdoors and traveling.
