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.

I am 20 years in remission but Dr. McCollum treats me the same as my first visit.

Dr. McCollum
Dr. McCollum is an excellent Dr. he explains everything about the procedure that needs to be done and all the results and all the treatments that is needed to help fight Cancer. Due to a family emergency I had to move to a different state and wasn't getting the care that I need from my new Oncologist it was very hard to get him to do the necessary tests that I needed. I tried to find another Oncologist that was close, in the city that I lived in, but it was hard to find another oncologist due to Dr. shortage in the area and I would have to travel a long distance to another oncologist. I decided to move back to Virginia because I knew that I would get the best care that I needed from Dr. McCollum. I am glad that my first visit back as Dr. McCollum patient was a really good visit, he understood my concerns about my health and assured me that he will run all the tests that is needed, and I do not have anything to worry about.

I was treated with respect and compassion. All were pleasant, patient, and attentive to my needs. I loved receiving the folder with pertinent information given to new patients. It kept me from feeling stress. All contact calls to guide me through pre-surgery to after surgery were succinct. I am grateful, thankful, and blessed that you were in charge of my medical care.

I would and have recommended Dr. McCollum.
I arrived before my scheduled visit and waited a short time before I was taken back to the exam room. Kristen, his PA, explained the results of the AT scan I was given which I was very thankful for.The visit was smooth and not a lot of time was wasted waiting.

Dr. McCollum
When I was first diagnosed with stage 3c ovarian cancer by my general practitioner I was devastated. The next day I had my first appointment with Dr. McCollum. He explained, in detail, how he would handle my situation. My husband, daughter and I went home feeling reassured that Dr. McCollum had everything under control. That was 4 years ago.....and I'm still here and feeling fantastic. Dr. McCollum is very straight forward, he doesn't sugar coat or give false hope, which for me, is what I wanted. With the help of him and his fantastic team, I was encouraged to stay positive and felt supported every step of the way.

I have been going to Dr. McCollum for 5 years now and he is an absolutely wonderful physician. I am so very happy and blessed that he is my surgical oncologist! He has a very nice personality, is patient, gentle, and always answers all my questions and concerns (which are usually numerous) without getting annoyed. His staff is excellent also, and my visits there make me feel I am visiting family and friends. Again, since I ended up getting cancer, I am so glad I was able to be a patient of his! Nancy D. Thorpe
