Dr. Annemarie Gallagher, M.D.
Dr. Gallagher was born and raised in New York City and became interested in pain management through her experience as a first responder on 9/11. Seeing firefighters and police officers wheeled into the trauma unit at St. Vincent's Hospital, she knew their pain would linger long after their wounds healed. Today she treats pain from car accidents, work and sports injuries, surgery, aging and chronic conditions, for patients ages 2 and up.
