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 McNamara is an excellent physician. He explained everything to me in an understandable way. He talks to you and not at you, which is a very pleasant experience. He has a way of making you feel at ease about your procedure. Highly recommend him.

It seems this team of surgeons have made up their mind and shared with each other. When I attempted to interject something I thought might be valuable (eating habits, meds being taken, timeline of events) his hand came up with the statement, "I am not finished (talking) yet." His mind was made up before he even saw me.

He answered all questions I had and provided a booklet to cover anything I needed to know. The Doctor even called me himself with test results, I usually get a nurse that calls, rarely the Dr. I appreciated this, if I need these services again, I will choose him.

I would not recommend this surgeon. My dads cancer came back due to his incompetence. Him and his office did not help or ask how he was doing. Had this been done. My day would have a better quality of life.

Do not use the Dr. for mesh removal. He tore the transverse colon & left us the pleasure of an open wound. That wound required 4 to 6 bandage changes a day for about 10 months. Over $8000 in bandage & wound care cost that insurance wouldn't cover. My opinion of this Dr. could not be lower.

Not often in life do you find a surgeon like Michael j McNamara.he is the most brilliant Dr. And everyone knows it. The best word to describe him a perfectionist. His bedside manners are better than a mothers. I held off having surgery out of Fear, know I know better.The entire staff from Holly to Jalene to Marylou, thank you. Michael j mohanna.
