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.

He is the Best !

Incredible diagnostician; lucky to have him!
Been seeing Dr. McCarron since I was a "kid" (late 20s). Had some really complicated medical issues that had been misdiagnosed by several doctors. He took me on as a patient. He spent time with me and figured out what was going on. I've been with him ever since. I am a tough patient ... quite a few health pitfalls to say the least. But he has guided me through them all ... I keep well with his help and have lived longer than anyone imagined (I'm over 40 years a patient)! I am glad he's my doc. I could not recommend anyone more highly as a consummate healer.

Dr. McCarron is a very good Doctor. I was referred to him by one of his very good friends. But his staff are some very disrespectful and lazy liars. All they do is screw things up and try to cover it up when it’s mistakes they’ve made. He needs to get rid of that entire staff. Only if he knew the way these folks treat patients. He’s too good of a person to have these people working for him. They low rating isn’t because of him. It’s because of his HORRIBLE LYING AND RUDE STAFF.

Dr. McCarron is an excellent and great doctor. However, his administrative staff and nurse (Donna) are the opposite. The staff and the nurse are RUDE. They give you the feeling that they do not care. After several years, enough is enough. I am searching for another doctor now. I really hate leaving Dr. McCarron, that is why I stayed with him for several years. But I am glad and happy that I do not have to deal with his staff and nurse again.

Dr McCarron is my personal family physician and has been for almost 20 years. Quite frankly, I think he is the best in Lafayette. He is very professional yet personable. I cannot imagine having another medical doctor.

Both my husband and I have been patients of Dr. McCarron's since 1989. His knowledge of medicine and attention to our specific needs has kept us both healthy and active. He always answers all of our questions and takes a sincere interest in managing our healthcare. I can't say enough good things about my doctor and even when I'm not feeling well, both him and his staff make me feel so much better just by walking in his office!!!

Dr. McCarron is the best doctor that Lafayette has to offer. He is local born and raised and takes care of his patients like the southern gentleman he is. Last time i was in the office people kept bringing food and deserts to the office. I asked a few of the people what they were doing and they told me how this great man saved their life or their loved ones life. They bake sweets or food for him in gratitude. This is very comforting to hear when i was very sick.I only recommend Dr. McCarron
