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.

This Doctor is awesome, so caring about you, and he listens to you. I so miss not being in range to have him treat me .. Doc McWhirter truly spoiled me for any other doctor. he never looked at his watch. Explained things for you to understand.

Very knowledgeable but does not interact well with patient. Was arrogant and condesending. Didnt seem to care about my concerns or questions. At times I felt he was rude. Im sure others feel differently but he doesnt work for me.

Dr. McWhirter is a wonderful doctor. In addition to saving my husbands life he spends time with his patients explaining everything to you, never rushes you out of his office. I also feel that I can trust him completely which is a very important thing to have with your doctor.
