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 McCrann is an excellent gastroenterologist.
I am a physician who has had to visit GI doctors most of my life, Dr McCrann is the best I have encountered. She is smart, knowledgeable, empathetic and anxious to alleviate GI symptoms and make the appropriate diagnosis. Her staff are excellent. I would highly recommend her!

I have had Dr. McCrann do several procedures for me over a period of a few years. Every procedure she has performed has been done concisely, meticulously and with an obvious concern for my well being and health. She follows up with a detailed one on one interaction after the procedure and often later if it is warranted. What I am always amazed about Dr. McCrann is her obvious dedication to taking care of the people she assists.

Dr McCrann has performed numerous endoscopies on me. She is extremely capable and clearly know the intricacies of her field. Her follow up with me was prompt and thorough. She is a very caring and compassionate Physician. I highly recommend her for any patients seeking a GI specialist.

If I could give this dr a "0" I would. No Compassion, Lacks Empathy... I don't think I have Ever met a dr with such lack of respect for their patient. For 5 months my body has been wasting away. She offers scantily testing, I had to request different tests based on research I did because she was so unavailable to discuss or meet to about them. Test results showing neg/pos, high/low numbers respectively were ignored, poo poo'd. Alternative methods I used were ignored even though they helped. She 3 times called me in the evening unannounced or unscheduled leaving me unprepared for any logical discussion. dr. M reminded me almost every that: I was not the only patient she has, and Oh I'm number 2 on her priority list... Her Disrespect towards me was unacceptable. She is NO Longer my dr.

I am so blessed to visit this office for this procedure! This is the most compassionate office I have ever experienced. If you have any anxiety then this is the place to be! The nurses & anesthesiologist are as great and caring as the doctor. This was my third visit and they have proven to provide the same given care each time.

??She warms my heart and removes my worries. Dr. McCrann is the best there is & has a very big heart ?. She takes her job very seriously & goes 100% above beyond to: explain, put patients at ease, test, perform vital procedures, makes sure hosoitalizations go smoothly. With a complicated history she was always a phone call away when things got bad. I saw her for at least 6 years-until she moved from Lewiston, which is where I ended up After homelessness & I've only seen her once in office because I can't drive or find anyone to go with me for appts & procedures due to the severity of damage from Toxic mold poisoning. Dr McCrann IS the best and I Pray I can see her soon to stretch my esophagus (done just 1x since she moved), have Crohn's damage checked, get almost year-old tests & colon cancer check done. Being a life-long pt at almost 60, I've seen a lot of Drs. & No one has taken care ? of me as completely as she. I miss and need you Dr McC. Wishing you safety and wellness.

HORRIBLE! This woman has no idea what she is doing. She rolled her eyes at me when I mentioned my condition and stopped just short of calling me a liar. She wanted to give me a completely unnecessary major surgery because she didn't believe that I was having my symptoms and accused me of making them up, saying that she thought it was all in my head. I would give NO stars if possible.
