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.

He was very caring and more than efficient with his treatment of me. He was also extremely respectful to any member of my family when they accompanied me.

He diagnosed and took care of my issue quickly after I was admitted to the hospital. When he came to my hospital room I was having a little bit of an emotional breakdown. He asked me what was wrong? I told him I was a little frustrated because I hadn’t had anything to eat or drink for a day and a half, was waiting for a doctor to come in and they’re probably going to shut down the O.R. soon (it was getting to be late afternoon). He was so sweet, he told me he could get the OR anytime he wanted it, and sat right down on my bed then and there and called the O.R. to get everything set up. He was very comforting and I felt like he really cared. I would highly recommend him.

Have used Dr. McElroy for many surgeries over the past 15 yrs. He takes time for your questions, very good bedside manners and does a great job with minimal scaring. Would recommend him for any surgery needs.
