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.

Thank you!
Best doctor ever--after another doctor failed to properly diagnose he was able to achieve a full recovery. I have never encountered a more thoughtful, skilled physician.

Thank you!
I took my mom to see Dr. McNally after her pain had been dismissed by other physicians. He took the time to really listen to her and do a thorough assessment. He put together a treatment plan that had her regaining full mobility and ultimately pain free. I am very thankful for the care he and his team provided.

My Lower Back Pains – Aug 24, 2023
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. McNally?
Get all the facts and listen to your “gut”
Dr McNally spent a great deal of time considering all options for my ongoing back and leg pain issues. I could not continue to live as I was and we had to try something else and surgery was what was left; all that was left. HE did his best but his assisting surgeon made some bad mistakes and my surgery went unfinished and ultimately did not heal. One major concern I had, after reading many scholarly articles on the subject, was the likelihood of vertebrae above and/or below the fusion to fail. Dr McNally absolutely and emphatically opposed the opinion in those articles. Well, 2 1/2 years later I was back in surgery for the vertebrae above the previous fusion - it was a mess. The fusion previously performed did not heal causing my vertebrae to slip out of place; rods had to be put in to stabilize it. It is critical that you seriously consider the potential risks - YOU can be one of the few that runs into issues. Surgeon’s talent or risk is the question.

The best orthopedic surgeon ever!
Dr Thomas McNalley is very professional and thoughtful of my medical care upon the first visit. His bedside manner is very refreshing. I did not know that Dr Thomas McNally was a brilliant surgeon until my body responded immediately after surgery with positive results. My CLAVICLE spine was a hellish nightmare. He's also very modest and kind. If anyone needs a great orthopedic surgeon look no further. Dr. Thomas is the best orthopedic surgeon God has ever created. You body will thank you for your decision to have the very best.

Our visit was a great experience. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. As a physician I was impressed with Dr. McNally's attention for detail and his expertise in his specialty. He also broke down his prognosis into digestable bites so that his patient, my 15 year old daughter, could easily understand. Appreciate everything he did for us.

He asked ME which surgery I wanted to do rather than making a recommendation. It's impossible to book appointments less than a month out and enjoy waiting 45 minutes to see him for two minutes. Thankfully I found a better doctor and now I'm pain free.

Outstanding Doctor! Quality care from the entire staff. I've read reviews saying patients had long wait times but I can tell you this. If you are waiting it is because he is spending time with his patients. When he gets to you he will give you the same consideration. I have never been to a more professional Doctor who truly cared about me!. Thank you Dr. McNally Karyn
