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.

This guy is amazing
I was reading some of the reviews here and some of you really need to get a life. The doctor IS NOT responsible for your health. YOU ARE. The doctor is there to diagnose a condition and make sugestions on what to do to live a healthy life. If you don't like what he says figure it out for your selves. This guy sees a lot of patients every day and still greeds you and me with a smile...I Love this guy

Smart, straight talker
Dr. McMahon was on call at the hospital, and brought in to care for me when I had internal bleeding from my hip replacement, due to being on blood thinners for heart valve replacements I had 30 years prior. He quickly grasped that I understood my situation, as well as my disease state, and shared with me, thoroughly and honestly, every detail of my treatment plan. It was truly a tightrope walk for 16 days in that hospital to get my blood at a therapeutic level without causing a severe bleed or stroke, and he did it masterful!ly!

My experiences with Dr McMahon were incredibly inconsistent. One visit he would go out of his way to help me, the next he would gaslight me over being concerned about something. At one point I was given incorrect results from his office, and then BLAMED for misinterpreting them, which I can assure you, was not the case. I finally had it with the roller coaster. I needed someone who would listen, and at least pretend to care. He wasn’t that guy.

Be careful with this office. They are unorganized and get overwhelmed with simple tasks. Treat their patients rude and unprofessional.

I like Dr. McMahon and respect him a lot. He was very helpful in the ER when I was experiencing chest pains and understood what was happening very well. He's a very reasonable and approachable person with a good sense of humor. Was maybe 15 minutes late for an appointment once, and apologized to me. He's MY cardiologist!
