Derek Gallucci, DO
Getting to know you!
Why did you decide to go into medicine?
Growing up with a sister with a disability I always thought about going into a field where I was able to help others. It wasn’t until I was in college taking an elective in Anatomy and Physiology that I realized my heart was in medicine. I can’t remember the exact question Dr. Kavanagh asked the class, but how I answered it made him later ask me my future plans, which is when he told me about Osteopathic Medicine. Immediately a light bulb turned on in my head and I knew that’s what I wanted to do. Here I am years later doing just that and I’m still very grateful for guidance and patience from my past mentors
When I’m not working, you can find me…
Working on my old Buffalo house while listening to audio books. So basically, I might run into you at Home Depot wearing my headphones; you can say hi 🙂
Favorite book:
I’ve read the Harry Potter books an embarrassing number of times. My favorite author is fantasy writer Brandon Sanderson I love all his books
One thing people are surprised to learn about me:
My undergrad degree is actually a duel major in Math and Theatre
