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.

Very nice experience
I came to the hospital for a procedure which was done professionally and in a timely manner for my relief! Dr. McGettigan was very attentive and answered all my questions! I’m glad I’ve got to be in such good hands!

Competent ENT
After an MVA and complicated spine and head injuries, I found myself referred to Dr. McGettigan. Even though my case was challenging, he took the time to look at my ear problems and constant tinnitus with authority. He did try some things out of the box, which temporarily helped but the nature of my injuries are most like permanent. I felt that I was being seen by a competent professional, and he referred me to another specialist to look further into my problems. He had a lot of patience with me trying to sort serious things out which didn't present themselves in a direct way.

I had concerns because with my ringing in my ears from a 22 years career with US Army I started to develop a new symptoms and make me wonder if it was a serious health concern. After my visit with Dr. McGettigan I felt 100% asure that it wasn’t a thing to worry about. He took the time to explain to me what was going on and set me at ease. The hearing test with Alexandra was also superior. Great doctors and friendly staffs??
