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.

My appointments with Dr. McKinlay have always been on time or within 10 minutes of set appointment time. He is always willing to spend time diagnosing, explaining, and treating whatever is found. Excellent family physician!

He is an excellent doctor. Just plan on an appointment taking most of the day. He doesn't want you to feel rushed, or like he doesn't care, so he has a hard time staying on schedule. He explains things well, and makes sure that you understand what the next step is.
