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.

Excellent Care
Dr. McKeon and the staff were so excellent and listed to my concerns. She offered recommendations and ordered additional tests. Would highly recommend this doctor!

Excellent experience!!
I sought a second opinion from Dr. McKeon, and she was able to review my surgery records to gain a better understanding of my injury. She was open and honest, which helped me feel much more at ease about my situation. I’m looking forward to working with her and her team going forward.

Finger Injury in hand mixer
All of the staff were professional. The doctor took her time assessing my finger and she explained the issues and gave me an estimated healing time. She referred me to a physical therapist and was honest in telling me that it would be painful in the beginning.

Dr. McKeon is the best!
This is my second surgery with her and I would not consider anyone else. She is careful to explain the options, and is very understanding when a patient has reservations about surgery. Her surgical skills are top notch - my wrist is fully functional and my scar is practically invisible!

She seemed very familiar with my hand issue, and offered several treatments, starting with the the simplest. I felt comfortable with her and hope a simple steroid shot takes care of my problem. If not, I will revisit with her.
