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.

Absolutely would recommend Dr McDonough
Dr & office are extremely professional Appointments are on time & office staff is caring & compassionate. Blood work is done in office by a nurse who is friendly & knowledgeable. Visit with Dr McDonough is complete with his review of your chart, labs & blood. He explains thoroughly in language you can understand your condition & next steps to your care. I highly recommend Dr McDonough & his office for awesome care at a difficult & worrisome time.

So helpful and knowledgeable!
I’ve been coming for treatment here and I want to share how helpful all the staff and the doctor has been. As in the title they are very knowledgeable. Also I have been able to talk easily with the doctor and others working there. They do listen and give answers to my questions. They do whatever will make me comfortable during my appointment. Even a warmed blanket should I feel cold! I’ve improved over time and my life has improved. I’m glad my doctor referred me here for treatment!

When I was first diagnosed with my health issue. Dr McDonough knew exactly what I had and how to treat it. That was about 13 years ago. I am very grateful for all the doctor has done for me. And continues to do.

Occasionally the wait is 20 minutes or more but Erin always remembers me, she asks pertinent questions and takes the time to answer my concerns. I don’t feel rushed when she’s with me. She explains things so I understand.
