Dr. Gallagher and I talked about an issue that had recently happened to me that he felt could have been a TIA/stroke. He remembered that when I first began seeing him that a previous physician had thought I was having TIA's instead of diagnosing me with epilepsy. That was years ago. He did not read that from my file, he just remembered it. I told him how impressed I was that he could remember that. He took lots of time going over details from the past months about my seizures and medications. He took time to fill out paperwork for me while I was there as well. I appreciate his expertise so very much.
