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.

Love Dr. McGuckin! He doesn't beat around the bush. Explains things so you understand them. I will miss him! I am going to have a difficult time finding another Doctor as caring as he is!

Horrible doctor dont go here. I asked him for nexium for the severe gas in my chest he would not write a prescription. Told me go buy it yourself. Not to mention i was up the e.r with my back pain twice in one month. The er doctor said i need a mri. That its not a pulled muscle he refused to give me a referral. They never check your blood pressure. The clinic is outdated and filthy whith dust. This doctors office should be reported and is unfit for a clinic the staff is rude and so is doctor
