Sarah Gallo, MD

Dr. Sarah Gallo is a board certified family medicine physician who is thrilled to be joining Dr. Kelsey McDonald at her thriving practice. She appreciates the professional and personal connections she has built in Maine since moving here in 2010 and can't imagine living anywhere else! Upon graduating residency at Maine Medical Center, Dr. Gallo embraced full spectrum family medicine - building her outpatient practice while teaching in the hospital and delivering hundreds of babies. Eventually, she transitioned to outpatient primary care only (without obstetrics), as the demands of the system didn't allow for this breadth of practice. Through her 10 years with Martins Point she loved the opportunity to develop longitudinal care for patients she came to know so well, seeing them through life's triumphs and challenges. She valued the time she spent with patients, which allowed her to see the complexities of her patients beyond a diagnosis, treating the person not the disease. She saw the benefit in providing information, not just prescriptions. This became impossible to do within the current model of healthcare and is not something she was willing to sacrifice, so when the opportunity arose to join Coastline DPC, it was an easy decision. Dr. Gallo shares Dr. McDonald's drive to provide quality, patient-centered care to our community in a way that feels more grounded in humanity for both the provider and the patient. She wants her patients to feel empowered, safe and have autonomy in their healthcare decisions. Always driven to learn more, she enrolled in a course with the University of Massachusetts Medical School in 2025 to learn advanced mental health care for primary care providers. In 2026, she looks forward to completing Harvard's Women's Health and Menopause course. Dr. Gallo will be offering outpatient primary care to children and adults. She loves poetry, gardening, starting art projects and hanging out with her teenager, Amelia. Despite growing up in Bermuda, she is embracing the cold by learning to snowboard and surf. You may meet her unofficial therapy dog at the office, an 8 year old Havanese named Rumi.
