Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wonderful doctor
I went into labor a week before my scheduled c-section with a different doctor. Dr. McNamara ended up being on call that night and completed the surgery. He was so kind and helped keep me calm, as I was in a lot of pain and was very nervous about the procedure. He took the time to explain each step to me and made sure to keep a clean incision that now looks great 6 weeks later. I would 100% recommend him and am so glad he was the doctor on call that night.

I had an appointment today. I waited 1.5 hours for him. 45 of those minutes I sat half naked before I finally put clothes on. He came in, and didn’t apologize for being late, instead asked “why are you dressed?” I told him I have rheumatoid arthritis and it became too painful for me to wait on the table without back support He asked what I would like to do I said have my exam. I told him I would need one second to get dressed He slammed the door and walked out without a word he is unprofessional

I had been in need of someone who was knowledgeable with PMDD & after much research, various doctors, and horrible bouts of depression and anxiety, I finally found Dr. McNamara who has been so kind, understanding, and helpful that I'm feeling so much better.

Dr. McNamara was my doctor when I was pregnant and I could not recommend a better doctor. Throughout my pregnancy he paid very close attention to my concerns and never once made me feel uncomfortable or stupid for asking questions like some providers I have dealt with. I highly recommend Dr. McNamara for any woman who may be pregnant or not. I was lucky enough to have him be the one to deliver my child as well.

Recently had a scheduled repeat c section with Dr. McNamara. The surgery was complicated but he was amazing and made sure everything went smoothly. His follow up care afterwards was excellent also.

He was unbelievably compassionate. I have never experienced a Dr. patient visit like this in my entire life. I was with my sister in law (who is very sick) during her visit. I can't say enough about this fine gentleman. I will talk about him for a long time.
