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. McGehee
Dr. McGehee is very knowledgeable, and had a good manner about him. Zeroed in on a course of action for my neck problem.

Dr. McGehee's Compassion
Dr. McGehee's one of 'THE' best orthopedics I've ever seen. I hadn't seen him in a few years and am back, hoping there might be help for my severely degenerative spine. He promises nothing, no cure; but, he hopes to offer some comfort care. That's all I ask. He is, above all else, is top knotch & knowledgeable in his field. I more than anything, admire his compassion and understanding. What a blessing he is to OrthoCarolina and to Hickory and surrounding communities.

Country Doctor in the City...
Dr. McGehee has a demeanor and professionalism that's lacking with most young doctors today. He explains very well what you can expect from the treatment he provides and, answers any concerns without the feeling of being rushed.

I was scheduled to receive a steroid shot in my hip by Dr McGehee. He was very polite and explained the procedure and asked if I had questions. While doing the procedure he explained what he was doing and informed me on what to expect. I would highly recommend him to my family and anyone that needed this type of service.

Dr. McGehee entered the exam room and immediately shook hands. He was very friendly and pleasant through the entire visit. He had read my file and was knowledgeable about my problem (this was my first visit with Dr. Mcgehee). He explained what he thought was my problem (I had an X-ray when I got there). He proposed a plan of action which includes more tests. I felt very comfortable with Dr. McGehee and have a great deal of confidence in him. I would highly recommend him.
