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.

Horrible Patient Service
Waited 1.5 hours for first scheduled appointment. Told me he scheduled an MRI for me that was NOT done. After MRI sent message he would call to discuss test results. 5 days later he called after I requested my medical records to discontinue our relationship. Did not receive any medical services so this review addresses only lack of personal service and office procedures.

Dr. McGinty was very nice, thorough and patient in explaining my diagnosis so that I fully understood my condition. He recommended against surgery, but if I had needed it, I would be confident going with him. Office staff all very nice.

I am blessed to have have found a doctor so caring, compassionate, patient, excellent bed side manner, and overall a genuine professional! I never feel rushed or that my questions are silly. I felt beyond comfortable trusting him with my health & Bariatric surgery! I say this to everyone who asks me about my surgeon and my answer is always, I just want to hug him :)

Recently had Umbiical Hernia Repair, besides the fact that he's just a great guy and explained everything to me start to finish, he did a great job. It's been two weeks since the surgery. I went into see him. No pain, he took off the bandage and there is barely anything there. I feel great and am getting back to my very active routine. I recommend him highly, had an incredible experience!

Based on prior recommendations from his collegues I was not surprised to find Dr. McGinty very well versed in his specialty. He not only fully explained the differences between the various types of bariatric procedures but also gave insight as to why certain procedures may be better for some based on age, physical condition, and other existing medical conditions. In addition he offered realistic expectations as to the improvement in quality of life I could expect based on my personal situation, rather than saying "it would solve all my other health issues" as some have said. All in all it was a great experience and pleasure speaking with him and I have complete confidence in his handling of my case.
