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.

Dr. McKissick is an incredible Doctor. He took over a case with a medically complex patient with a very seriously infected surgical wound... and magically got this thing to heal when it seemed that nobody else could! From the moment we met him we could tell how intelligent he was, as he explained his understanding of the wound infection and the recommended course of treatment. It was a serious situation, and Dr. McKissick was sure to let us know how concerned he truly was, but he balanced the gravity of the situation with humor, which made us very comfortable. He is truly a trusted professional, and I appreciate that he is working in our community!

My 15 year old Daughter had a Mucoceole on her lip and Dr. McKissock not only made use feel calm about the operation, but made my daughter calm. His personality and the extra time he took with us made the day less stressful for our family.

I was referred to Dr. McKissock by two vascular surgeons. I was told my surgery required specialized AVM surgical skills. I had an initial appointment and a subsequent appointment. Dr. McKissock advised me that he wanted time between appointments to conduct some advanced research. Each appointment was approximately an hour in length. I am extremely impressed with Dr. McKissock's care, concern and knowledge. I'm confident that I'm tn the hands of the best surgeon I could find.
