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. McGregor is a amazing heat surgeon
My husband had mitral valve replacement surgery with Dr. McGregor, he received world class treatment from beginning to end. We appreciated Dr. McGregor checking in on him several times a day during his hospital stay. Truly grateful for the amazing care from this doctor and his team.

Dr. McGregor performed my robotic assisted mitral valve repair August 2019. I went in on Thursday morning and was home Sunday afternoon. Admittedly, this was a very heady experience. With that said, Dr. Mcgregor and his staff settled my nerves and made it a good experience overall throughout m ordeal.

Dr McGregor performed Mitral Valve repair on me just 4 weeks ago. I would highly advise should you unfortunately need any type of valve repair don’t look any further but to Dr McGregor. For over 20 years I have dealt with my medical problems and this man had me fixed in one day. Yes this surgery will play with your nerves alittle but trust me you are in the best hands that you can be in.

Had mitral value repair. I am a healthy fit 50yr old women with no other health problems. He was a fantastic surgeon and I recovered in 8 weeks and was back to the gym and resumed all normal activities. I would recommend him to anyone. He explained everything and was always available to answer questions. I
