Dr. Lagaly earned his osteopathic medical degree at the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth - Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his internship and residency in Family Medicine at the same facility in Fort Worth. A wound care and hyperbaric oxygen program was simultaneously being developed at the hospital, so he was able to spend free time and electives with the developing program.

He practiced family medicine for two years in Arkansas, then developed a hyperbaric and wound care program at St. Vincent Infirmary in Little Rock. After several years in Arkansas, he was recruited to Buffalo, NY and developed a busy program for Catholic Health.

He is currently board certified in family medicine, hyperbaric medicine and wound care. He has been practicing wound care and hyperbaric medicine full time for the past twenty years.

In his spare time, Dr. Lagaly enjoys scuba diving, fishing, making wine and spending time with his wife.
