Two different orthopedic doctors have told me I have a leg discrepancy of about an inch, but no one ever measured it. I wanted to measure it and see if I needed any treatment because I definitely have an odd walk that stresses my knees and back as a result of it.I know a bunch of people think they have an asymmetry because some chiropractor or yoga instructor told them, but that wasn't me. And she knew that. When my asymmetry turned out to only be a tad above half an inch, I felt she treated me like one of those people. She really did not offer much explanation for the significant symptoms I have that would align with a larger asymmetry, and suggested the inch difference I have in calf circumference was either the result of significant weight loss or lymphedema. She just did not seem to hear me the multiple times I told her the calf difference has been there since my late teens and prior to significant weight gain. She told me I might have some scoliosis or hip tilt causing the rest of the height difference when standing on left leg v right, but did not do anything to check that. She did not watch me walk and validate that I have a swing to my walk that would stress my knees and back. I mostly came to get it measured. She did that, so that's good. But, after a measurement that showed It not too far outside the norm, I kind of got a sense of disdain from her when I had continued symptom-based questions.

Dr. Gallagher explained my opinions and was very thorough. She didn't rush me and gave me hope for a positive outcome on my right ankle. I was anxious, but she let me know everything was going to be better. She answered all my questions. I appreciate her bedside manner.

I have seen 6 different doctors in the past year before coming here. None of them took me seriously or would listen, but Dr Gallagher did and is actually helping me
