TMB Restricts Dallas Physician (Gallagher)
Summary
On September 2, 2026, a Texas Medical Board disciplinary panel temporarily restricted, with notice, the Texas medical license of anesthesiologist Michael Patrick Gallagher, M.D. (License No. N1322), effective immediately. The restriction follows Gallagher's arrest for criminally negligent homicide related to the death of one patient. Under the restriction, Gallagher's practice is limited to anesthesiology and he is prohibited from supervising or delegating any medical acts to any person.
What this may mean
The TMB restriction is an individual physician licensing action under Texas state law and does not directly affect hospital systems, health plans, or other healthcare entities except to the extent they employ or credential Dr. Gallagher. Facilities credentialing Gallagher are on notice of the restriction and the underlying criminal arrest, triggering credentialing review and potential reporting obligations under the National Practitioner Data Bank.
