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.

See bad reviews are not ALL listed. McNellis did not realize that we are quite well off. He only noticed on forms”no Insurance.”He put the tube in nose with NO spray, I kept saying HURT, HURT. He replied,”it ought to hurt, You have a tube up your nose and down your throat.” I almost passed out. When he finished he said, nothing wrong. Then all of a sudden the subject of primary Dr. who sent me came up. Then he said wait a minute. Got my records and saw that I had many many test and Dr who sent me was a friend of his. Then he realized this B can afford whatever and his friend sent me. Then he said, well you do need your tonsils out and more test ect ect. I wanted to get up and ———-!!His tune changed but too too late!

Dr. McNellis came on board in the mist of other health concerns. All serious, our first discussion of my condition and way ahead (wife also present) I (we) knew I was in good hands. While it took a while to address all concerns, I was always aware of my status and confident in the treatment of my ENT issue. Now resolved, I think Dr. McNellis is superb not just for his excellent ability to diagnose and treat my condition, but also for his outstanding ability to talk about and through deeply concerning issues in a way that help you find, to the extent possible, a way to comfort and confidence in the way ahead. He did good!

Dr. McNellis is as good a physician as I have ever known. Not only I, but also my husband and daughter, have been patients of him for over 20 years. He has done surgery on all three of us, as well as handling non-surgical issues. Not only does he have a wonderful bedside manner (he treats patients as intelligent people, as well as being extremely kind and informative), but he is also an outstanding surgeon and physician. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
