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.

Nice, low key, matter of fact sort of guy.
I have visited Dr Mackessy a few times. On key thing is to bring up ideas or research you have done yourself about things that are bothering you. Then ask him about next steps. While I like the Doc, his Nurse Practitioner, Cat is not great at follow up. You need to be proactive. this is likely true in most medical situations in the US.

Dr. Mackessy is very pleasant and takes the time to talk with you and explain different tests and medications. I never feel rushed. His nurse Kat is wonderful. She is wonderful at blood draws and is always pleasant.
