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.

The Absolute best!
Dr McGinley is honestly one of the best doctors I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. His bedside manner is great, he explains everything thoroughly, and is very patient with questions and concerns. To top it off, his surgical skills are stellar. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is having hip problems. He did a total hip replacement for me and everything went really well, and his after care is just as good as his surgical skills.

Dr. McGinley - A Fantastic Physician
From the minute he walked into the exm room I felt confident that Dr. McGinely was the right person to be treating my aching left knee. He was very through and kind in his questioning and examining my knee.

A Great Doctor – Oct 29, 2022

They do not come any better than Dr. Brian McGinley. I had my left knee replaced six years ago, and just last week my right knee was replaced, both by Dr. McGinley. These were full knee replacements and the results were terrific. The recovery was very fast for my left knee and is going just as well for my right knee. I've had no problems, little pain to speak of, and great care - before, during and after. Both operations were at St. Charles, where they did an outstanding job of care. I now look forward to many more years of tennis and golf, and I'm 78 years old.

Good bedside manner. Very organized office. His nurse practitioner, Kenny, is terrific. His nurse, Mary, is super organized and efficient and always available to answer any questions.. Easy to get an appointment. As far as knee replacement goes, this office and St Charles Hospital has it down to a science..

The doctor is average, but the office is a nightmare!There's a number of doctors in this office and probably aren't aware of the staff and lack of professionalism. I have been there a number of times, and it's always an issue when it comes to anyone following up on anything I'm always having to do all the work the office should be doing. I have had results from a lab for about a month, and still haven't heard a word from this office, the report showed a problem. Poor reflection, unhappy!

Dr. McGinley performed my surgery. He has incredible skill and manner with his patients. I was walking within a day after and had a great range of motion. Every one of the hospital nurses, homecare nurses, assistants and physical therapists I have worked with have said how his patients always do so well. They all recommended him to family and friends. To me that says it all. I would do the same without hesitation.

I would trust Dr. McGinley with my life. Not only is he beyond intelligent, (I believe he went to Harvard) he is one of the nicest, most caring people I have ever met. He once operated on my knee, on HIS DAY OFF, the day before Thanksgiving, because he knew that was the only time my husband had time off from work. There is not enough room to tell you how fantastic this surgeon and this man is. I would recommend Dr. McGinley to everyone, and I do!!!!
