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.

SCHEDULED SURGERY , THEN HIS OFFICE CANCELLED !
All set to have surgery , he explained everything to me very well, then his office girls called me to reschedule surgery and then told me he was taken a leave of absence so had to reshedule then called me again and said he had to reschedule that appointment as well cause something was going on in the office, i said forget it at this point no way am i having him do my neck surgery, his staff does not know what they are doing and nor do they care, they have totally screwed me up now , i have to find another surgeon, I honestly think it was cause I have medicare, they should have never scheduled me in the first place, he needs to retire...

I have seen Dr. McCormack many times over the past several years. He has treated me for a number of back and headache related problems. He is one of the most caring, compassionate doctors I have ever encountered. Although he sees many patients everyday he always takes all the time needed to answer the many questions that are asked. He is truly a "jewel" in the medical community, and I feel blessed to know him, and have him as one of my physicians.

Dr. McCormack was very informative after my husband Charles Davidson had his 2 surgery's. One to install a back stimulator and then to remove it a few years later. Dr. McCormack is very personable and a caring Dr. I would refer anyone looking for a Neurosurgeon to go to Dr. McCormack.
