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.

Annual physical.
I had my annual physical with Dr. McConnaughey on April 16.th. It’s always a pleasure to see DR. McConnaughey as he takes his time to explain all of my test results and answer all my questions. He is always very professional and personable at the same time. Dr. McConnaughey has been my primary care doctor for 25 years and I highly recommend him.

Professional, friendly and thorough
Regardless of the reason for visiting Dr. M (eg., annual check up or specific ailment), he takes the time to learn about my issues and concerns, and always explains options, pros and cons of treatment options and provides the necessary insights to help his patient come to a decision about next steps. He will make recommendations but never pressure me to choose a treatment plan I am not comfortable with. He is never judgmental or negative. He is always upbeat and puts my mind at ease. I highly recommend him.

The Best Doctor!
Dr McConnaughey is an excellent doctor! He listens well and takes his time to explain everything in details. He’s understanding and very patient. He’s extremely knowledgeable. I always leave his office feeling more confident and at ease with my health. What makes him different from other doctors is that he cares. My husband is reluctant to see any doctor but he doesn’t mind seeing Dr McConnaughey. He feels the same way I do about Dr McConnaughey and he never complains after a visit with him. He only has complements which almost never happens. We are grateful for Dr McConnaughey!
