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.

The BEST doctor!
Dr McLain takes his time and cares about us. He remembers us and asks about our family. He digs deep to help us and he's the best doctor ever!

Dr. McLain has taken care of our Mother’s health and her confidence and trust in her doctor gave her tremendous peace of mind. Dr. McLain was always available, attentive, patient and thorough. During Covid lockdowns when we were unable to visit her, her daughters concerns were always put to rest, knowing our Mother had superb health care. We all wish we had such a dedicated family doctor where we live. Dr. McLain has our gratitude and full recommendation.

Dr. McLain is by far the best family doctor my husband and I have ever had. He has diagnosed some serious health issues of our's and referred us to very competent specialists. He is medically very thorough, professional and very concerned about our well being. Above all he is very passionate about his patients. He is the best!

My husband thinks Dr. McLain is thorough and competent. I had a different experience. When I asked too many questions and refused to have certain procedures, he called me “contentious” and cut our appointment short. My other relationships with doctors have been positive. I'm an older female.

Dr. McLain is definitely my favorite doctor in town. He is very intuitive and pays close attention to what is going on with you, and shows sincere interest in your well-being. He also makes sure you keep up with your routine exams! You can count on him!

I have found Dr. McLain to be a very good listener who takes the time to truly "hear" what I have to say. He knows what he's talking about and sends patients to the right specialists when needed. Overall he makes my health care experience that much better.
