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.

Doctor needs to treat his helpers better
Doctor needs to not yell at his female assistants. While working on patient. Made two bad mistakes on me . Felt like he was blaming the assistant for his two mistakes. Damm near bleed to death from his mistakes. So a word of advice. Everyone has to start from some were and nobody is perfect. I have tought many people in my life and I treated them with respect and kept them from harms way . Things go better when you work as a team . I would highly recommend you find someone else . His bed side manor is inexcusable.

Never said a word to husband for procedure, didnt acknowledge wife when he came in for second cutting, he talked to us with back turned away from us, i asked a question regarding showering and he spun around abruptly snapping at me, when he didnt answer my question i asked another question when he snapped again at me, i was treated better at the grocery clerk then by dr mcgovern he does not have any people skills, guess if you make enough money you feel you dont have to treat your patients with kindness or respect. Life is too short people that work with him, get another place to work

Terrible experience. I highly recommend finding a different Dr. I’m so unhappy with the end result of my face. When talking with Dr. McGovern about my face, he stomped around and left the room. I am in disbelief how unprofessional my experience was. And I’m left with this horrible scar and folded skin on my face.

Dr. McGovern is excellent at his job. This is the third visit I have made for Basil Cell Carcinoma's on my face. And, he has treated all three. He has an excellent skill set to provide the greatest opportunity for a great outcome.

Very calm and professional which allowed me to be relaxed. This is my second MOHS with Dr. McGovern and it had an excellent outcome. Also, Whitney was very personable and professional in her prep work. Though I hope I don't have to, I won't hesitate to return to Dr. McGovern should I need any further treatment.

This guy will NEVER cut on me again! I was left with a quarter size open wound on my scalp to heal closed on his own because (in HIS WORDS), "This is much bigger than I expected. I'll have Dr Gardner close it BECAUSE MY BACK CAN'T TAKE IT" end quote. Then I leave the procedure room & was directed to Dr Gardner's scheduler - adjacent to McGovern's staff desk - only to learn that he was on vacation!! Sharing an office, McGovern should have known this!! He might be good at CUTTING & reviewing tissue but he sure doesn't have a good work ethic, nor care about his patients!!! I will be filing a formal complaint! My advise, schedule with the other MOHS Surgeon in Fort Wayne!
