the reception staff at OPFD are very friendly, welcoming, and make an effort to relate to you on a personal level. they are even willing to help you figure out plans and walk you through payment processes. kari was so kind and accommodating towards me, both in scheduling and helping me navigate the world of dental insurance 😛 dr. gallagher and his staff were very kind and understanding, too. i have a lot of sensory issues as an autistic person and my anxiety doesn't help so the dentist is very intimidating and scary for me and i didn't seek treatment for a long time because of it. dr. gallagher made the experience a lot more tolerable. i think i freaked him out bc i couldn't stop crying during my top fillings, but he and his hygienist (i think her name is lauren) were comforting and checked in on me and were extremely accommodating and encouraging. despite the condition my teeth were in and despite my own issues with my anxiety, dr. gallagher didn't shame me or make me feel bad during my visit, which is a rare thing i think for dentists. the doctor is very busy but he and his staff took the time to explain the procedures (i got four fillings :P) and even the reception reached out when there was a last-minute opening for me. they worked around my 9-6 work schedule and made sure i was taken care of for future exams and cleanings. i am very glad to have found this place and will recommend it. if you want a judgement-free environment or need accommodations bc the dentist in general is very scary, i recommend dr. gallagher and his staff for whatever you need. they're awesome - thank you!

I had to change Dentist due to my insurance. I read reviews on Dr. Gallagher and decided to make an appointment. Everything went very smoothly from a telephone enquiry, to making an appointment. I was seen right away and I was very impressed with how I was treated, from the receptionist, dental assistant, Millie and Dr. GALLAGHER. They were all very professional but friendly. I had a crown replaced and the whole experience was seemless. I also had cleaning done and the dental hygienist was very gentle but thorough! I will recommend this dental clinic any time!

Dr. Gallagher and his staff were professional, courteous, and very friendly. They made sure I was properly informed before starting my wisdom tooth extraction. Dr. Gallagher was pleasant to deal with, so was his hygienist. This was as pleasant of a dental visit as one can have, and I'm not fond of going to the dentist. haha I very highly recommend Overland Park Family Dental.

My wife and I moved to the area 4 years ago and became new patients to Overland Park Dental and Dr. Gallagher at that time. I have always had anxiety about the dentist my entire life but I can say without a doubt Dr Gallagher and the entire staff make it as easy and stress free as it can possibly be. Earlier today I went in to have some work done that frankly had me tense but Dr Gallagher had me at ease as he explained exactly what he was going to do step by step and let me know these steps as he was performing. His assistant was top notch and I felt a level of calm I have never experienced in a dentist chair...and I am close to 60 years of age. If you are uneasy about the dentist I would encourage you to give Overland Park Family Dental a call and speak to Gail to get the process started, she is awesome along with the rest of the staff here.
