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.

HORRIBLE STAFF !!
I have never been more disrespected than when speaking with extremely rude front desk staff at this doctors office. I spoke with Elizabeth and Christina and those persons need to learn some civility before calling patients. I am actually disgusted at how I’ve been treated. I’ve been waiting six months for appointment and it just got pushed to next year. I’m disgusted with this office. I will NEVER RECOMMEND THIS HORRIBLE DOCTORS OFFICE! Just DISGUSTING!!

I had atrial fibrillation for over 6 years but no more feelings of a fast fluttering or pounding heartbeat, chest pain, dizziness, fatigue. Lightheadedness, reduced ability to walk and exercise, shortness of breath, weakness, thanks to Dr. John P McKenzie III, M. D. I feel like I did when I was in High School ready to conquer the world. I have to tell you I got my life back.

great doctor!
he did two heart procedures on me in 2013 and ended a years-long bout with tachycardia (which also masked a-fib). he is friendly, open and affable. he knows his stuff. one thing: he is always late (which may not be a bad thing... i think it's because he does take his time, and when you got your hands inside someone's chest, better to not rush things!

My father had an ablation procedure by Dr. Mackenzie at White Memorial. The doctor is apparently “hard to get ahold of” after procedures, during after hours for emergencies. This was a terrible experience as I felt so helpless and my father called us in pain. We had such a good experience w/this doctor until the procedure day.

I've been very satisfied with my treatment. He's professional and thorough in his explanation of procedures, risks and likely outcomes. He'll answer with the degree of detail that you ask for. You don't feel rushed. He's friendly, warm, and inspires confidence and care. I would recommend him to friends with electrical heart problems.

I needed to be very proactive to get questions answered, but he was not dismissive of my inquiries, and the most important thing in a heart Dr. is their abilities as a surgeon and diagnosis. I can not yet full assess those, but suspect he is very good. He also called me back when I had a question, which was very helpful.
