Dr. Gallagher was my dentist for 12 years. I am and will always be grateful to him for the innovative and compassionate dental care he provided to me. He was a Great Dentist and a very Special Person. May his Spiritual Journey be filled with Peace and Joy! Linda Ochsenbein
Dr Timothy Gallagher saved me from a second brain surgery and possibly even my life. I first met Dr Gallagher sometime after ’67. I was new to this country and needed a dentist. A co-worker told me to see Dr Kowitz and Dr Gallagher would clean my teeth. We used to live in Sunnyvale back then and in Sept. ’71 we moved to Milpitas. Shortly after Dr Kowitz opened a branch in Milpitas and I never saw Dr. Gallagher again. Between ’95-’97 I would attend the health expo in SF and there one day I picked up a little magazine with adds and events and saw an add by Dr. Gallagher. He was an holistic dentist now. I made a decision then to go see him and have him replace all my mercury fillings. He is the one. I remembered him as a handsome young man, very kind, decent and professional with a wedding band. A good man. Finally in June 2008 I went to see him before he retires I feared. He did replace all my 9 fillings which were a breeze and he did a wonderful job. A previous dentist messed up two of my teeth and was afraid to chew on my left side. One had too much filling the other not enough. Because he had wanted to do a root canal, which I refused. On the last appointment I had asked Dr Gallagher if he knew of something that would help with my husbands horrible fingernail fungus. He said: ” there is that MMS by Jim Humble, it kills lots of stuff you can get it at that place.” I researched it and took it myself and only after taking it one week, one day I felt a distinctive crumble and dissolving in my head. The tumor had come back and I wasn’t aware. There was no difference for me from before the mess and after a mess. I had brain surgery in May 2002. I had no reason to stop my daily smoothies with a big scoop of brewers yeast after surgery because it was highly recommended to me many yrs ago. No more smoothies with BY. Last time I saw Dr. Gallagher was Nov 9/10 2013 at an event we sat next to each other. We shared our healthy snacks. On the 10th after the closing of the event he was ready to go while I was talking with the fellow sitting on my right Dr. Gallagher tapped me on my left knee and said: “see you kid.” I was sure I will get to see him again at a next event. I was deeply touched and shocked by his passing. But when the call comes in to go, go we must. Hopefully we’ll meet again! Marianne Menges
Tim was the first practitioner that took me seriously with my 16 amalgams. He removed them, and led me back to health. He went well above and beyond the standard treatment of care loaning me equipment, and taking me to the http://www.ohmsociety.org conference on Depression and Detoxification. One of the most committed to the cause practitioners and with extremely high moral integrity. Not known to all, I was told Tim’s rescued a baby from a dead mother’s womb in France when in our military for which France gave him a high honor. I would NOT be here, were it not for his love and compassion. The world is a lonelier place and I have missed him for years since his retirement. God’s speed Tim? and hope you’re smiling from somewhere on a wonderful beach sipping a Pina Colada!! God I am so sad? tears? VERY PISSED YOU DIED TIM!!!! Damn it. : ( Love you? xoxo
