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.

Very personable and listened to what I had say!
After letting me say what was wrong with my knee, he told what he thought and gave me options. He then let me decide on what action I wanted to take!

Dr. McNabb came highly recommended!
Dr. McNabb was wonderful! He listened carefully to my concerns and I didn’t feel rushed. He took the time to explain in detail the X-rays of my hips and treatment options. I would definitely recommend him to anyone having hip problems.

Total knee Replacement Aftercare
This is my 2nd total knee replacement by Dr McNabb. Everything during surgery was fine but unfortunately my leg swelled up to twice the size of the other leg & was extremely painful. I called after hour doctor who told me to elevate & ice & if it didn’t go down to go to ER so that is where I spent Christmas. No blood clots so just sent me home. I called Liz & she told me to increase pain meds but I told her I didn’t have enough to take them that way. She assured me that it would be no problem to call in more meds & she would have on call doctor call me. I called her 4x with no response so having to stay in bed in extreme pain. Now I have called her again this morning & we will see what happens. I am supposed to have PT but don’t know how I can do it w the pain I am in. I can’t go to ER because they say my doctor is responsible for pain management. Dr McNabb is a great surgeon with no aftercare for his patients so you will suffer in extreme pain for no reason.

Very Personable
Dr. McNabb was very personal and showed genuine concern for my hip pain. After x-rays and an exam, he set me on a course that will address the situation and was confident of the outcome. I was very comforted by his knowledge and attention to detail.

'Just Right!!!'
This initial appointment (a referral from my PCP's office) went very well. Dr. McNabb was kind, professional, practical & informative, giving me the basic assessment, opinion & options I need to make an informed decision on how best to move forward.While I hope my current issues will favorably resolve, and future issues will not arise, I would definitely consult him again if needed.
