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.

We love Dr. MacFarlane! He has taken very good care of my 4 kids over the years. I would add though, that if you are into wholistic or homeopathic types of medicines, or vaccine choice, he is probably not the pediatrician for you.

I feel Dr. MacFarlane is an excellent doctor. He thoroughly examines my grandson and monitors his motor skills on the medications he has prescribed for him. Dr. MacFarlane has a very nice personality, easy to talk you to, and is able to talk to kids very easily. With Dr. MacFarlane's help my grandson is doing well in school and has maintained very good grades. Thank you.

Takes the time to listen and answer all questions. Never rushes out. Even took the time to see us on this day off and spoke with us about our concerns over the phone on a weekend evening. He truly cares about his patients. I would not trust my baby with anyone else.

By far the BEST pediatrician we have EVER seen. I have four boys and Macfarlane is so sweet, kind, loving and caring with each one!!! He listens to my concerns as a mother and calms my worries. I feel like such a proud momma walking out of his clinic EVERY TIME because he is so encouraging and uplifting about my children’s health, milestones and accomplishments.

Such a great doctor and so thorough. He will go over every change in weight, height, behavior and more. He is patient and welcomes questions and concerns. Very calm with a screaming crying baby and very kind.
