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.
Dr. McCracken is a wonderful doctor. She takes the time to discuss your health, any issues you might have and really listens to you. She is a very caring person and makes you feel so much better just by being there.

I have been a patient since 2004. Dr. Mccracken is AWESOME! She listens and explains everything you have going on and what her treatment plan is for you. I moved to Tennessee for 3 years and came back for my Doctor visits when needed..
She is the Best of the Best.

Dr McCracken is by far the smartest MD I have ever seen, and unfortunately there have been many. I am well researched in regards to my chronic disease and maintenance thereof. Dr. McCracken can name and explain specifics like no other. I was put on a waiting list when I first saw her as a new patient, but, she is worth the wait!

Dr McCracken has been our PCP for many years. She’s treated my husband and myself for a number of ailments during that time with a level of care and concern, wit and warmth that is hard to find elsewhere. We drive from Norfolk to see Dr McCracken! She keeps us healthy. We love her.

My last visit was by televideo during the Covid19 pandemic. I continue to be impressed with Dr. McCracken's knowledge and compassion, and I have been her patient since she began her practice. Most recently she correctly diagnosed my parathyroid/hypertension problem and continues to work with me to control it. She has been one of the top Dr.'s in VA for several years and continues to be the best I have found.

This was my first ever telemedicine visit but I have been seeing Dr M for several years. As always the care was excellent! She patiently answered all my questions and addressed all of my concerns. Looking forward to seeing her in the office if they are open again in 3 months.

Dr. McCracken has helped me through some very difficult times. Takes her time to talk with me and is very understanding and such a compassionate doctor. I love her office staff as well. If you need a good doctor and a doctor you can talk to about any of your issues she is the one to see. I recommend Dr. McCracken to anyone who needs a doctor.
