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.

Hands down, the best doctor in the area! Always on top of everything. Every time I call, and need to something or to talk to him, he returns calls promptly. Very knowledgeable and makes sure you get what you needed. Honestly is a must. HIGHLY recommended.

Dr.Mcknight is very friendly and knows what he is talking about. His staff looks like they do not want to be there and gave me an attitude a couple of times for mis understandings. Before, it use to be very easy to schedule appointments and when he twlls me to call in and talk to him directly, i dont get through because of his secretary and his nurse on staff.

I saw McKnight through my pregnancy and labor. Regular wait times were up to 2 hours! During labor I tore tremendously and my stitches ripped a few days later. I didn't feel like he gave me proper care instructions. He didn't want to repair it, saying it wasn't necessary. My left labia minora was fully cut in half. When I insisted, he questioned why I wasn't focusing on my newborn which I thought was unfair. I had to find another doctor to repair the tear.
