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.

Doctor McKenzie performed the Glenn and Fontan procedure on our son who is now 14 years old. We owe our lives to him!

INCREDIBLE! Dr. Mackenzie is the best surgeon for pediatric cardiology. Not only did he fix my son's VSD in his heart, he made sure he wouldn't need any future surgeries as he was told by other doctors. If any child is suffering with a CHD, I would not take them anywhere else other than to see Dr. Mackenzie. He truly is a miraculous and compassionate surgeon who is our family's hero.

It all started back in 2012 my son was only 5 days old and is now 5 years old today. Dr McKenzie and his team was AMAZING from the time he walk in the room. Dr. McKenzie was able to answer all my questions before I was able to asked them. My son had coarctation of aorta he was also looking at his mitral vavle which he was confident will grow as he become older. We still see a heart doctor once a year to monitor his mitral valve. I just want to Thank Dr. McKenzie and his team for EVERYTHING.

I am Addyson Watson's Nana. Words can never express my gratitude to you, Dr. McKenzie. You were her surgeon for all 3 of her surgeries in her 3 1/2 years of life. She turns 4 on Nov. 2, 2016. We, her family, can not say enough good things about you and how you have made her heart as strong as it can be. How many nights we've prayed for you and your team!!!! I do believe your gift of heart surgery has been such a blessing to Addyson and our family. We appreciate you more than we can say!

Dr. McKenzie is a very gifted surgeon, top notch at saving lives through surgery. We have trusted him with our son's life through 3 open heart surgeries and he is doing so well because of his expertise. I couldn't have asked for better.
