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.

Successfully removed tumor and restores life
Dr. McCue successfully did a spinal surgery and removed a tumor at T9 for me - restoring life to normalcy for me. The entire experience from consultation to post surgery was awesome, compassionate and informative. Would recommend him any day!

Dr. McCue performed three of my cervical spine surgeries and completely stopped my pain. I trust him 100%. He has integrity, is honest, and to-the-point. He won’t talk you into surgery so the clinic can make money. I hope I never need spinal surgery again, but if I did, I would definitely go back to him. He is the best of the best.

Brilliant surgeon with compassionate bedside manner - a rare combination. He's a great listener, and outstanding in accomodating my special challenges w/ MS, while repairing my herniated L5S1 disc. And, he has a terrific sense of humor.

I have never witnessed such blatant disrespect for nurses by any physician. I was a patient of his, and he was rude, dismissive, talked down to his colleagues, and belittled my nurse in from of me. I will never seek care from him again. I have seen another side of him.

Dr. McCue has operated on my spine twice. First time great second time ok. I asked for a follow up appointment for another MRI and was told only if Dr. McCue did the follow up care. I said that I might want a second opinion and was told no. I talked to another nurse and was told no again. I felt completely let down as it seemed that my condition really didn’t matter. I still have pain. I did get another MRI from another Physician and I still have issues. Don’t know what to do.

Dr Mccue saved my step sons life by preforming emergency surgery when he developed meningitis. He preformed some other procedures too throughout the months that followed. I felt reassured and confident with my stepson in his care

care philosophy

I organized my clinical education and fellowship training to allow me to provide quality neurosurgical care to people of all ages - from premature babies to senior citizens. One of my proudest professional moments was first realizing that I had operated on three generations of the same family.
