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.

Great Experience
The office staff was very friendly at check in and the doctor’s nurse immediately called me in to start the examination process. Dr. Mechlin was very prompt and friendly when he came into the exam room. He also explained the process and next steps!

Exceptional Care in Every Aspect
Dr. Mechlin and all members of Urology Associates of Central Missouri are highly professional, totally competent, caring, patient-focused healthcare givers -- all are 5-Star worthy! Appointments are always 'on-time', thorough, backed by the latest in medical technology, and comprehensive. I would not consider going to any other urologist or urology clinic -- Dr. Mechlin and his staff are the best, hands down!! The clinic has easy access and plenty of parking.

First appointment
My first appointment with Dr. Mecklin and nurse practitioner Cary Adkisson was very good. They were very professional kind and understanding. They listened to my worries and resolved my situation. They both put me at great ease. The staff were very kind and welcoming.
