At Dr. Gallagher's office there are several dentists that get randomly assigned, and they seem to have a heavy rotation.
My first visit, for a checkup and cleaning, was on a day that three doctors called out sick and all the rest save one were on vacation. The receptionist was obviously overwhelmed. An Indian woman (possibly Dr. Nighat Ajmal) gave me one filling, and after that my tooth was in constant pain. Returning two weeks later to have it looked at, a different dentist (possibly Dr. Li Chao) said the problem was a deep internal cavity that the first dentist somehow missed. He filled the cavity, but said that if pain persisted I would need a root canal.
For both dentists, English was not their first language. I have no prejusdice about such things, but neither was able to communicate with me very well to explain what was wrong or what needed to be done.
Since I was in zero pain before a routine checkup and I am in constant pain now and facing a root canal, I can not recommend this office at all.
