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. MacGillivray explain everything so well, and he was so kind.

He has a nerve taking an oath “to do no harm.” He is someone I don’t trust. He is not candid about his hidden agenda. He is the last person I would let near any family or friends for medical care. Buyer beware.

My father was a patient and he had a “god complex”. He is arrogant and once my father fell ill he had no compassion.

Today is my 8th Anniversary after having had an aortic root aneurysm repair. Dr. MacGillvray was absolutely wonderful! He is a kind and compassionate man. He is a true patient advocate! He is extremely skilled and thorough! I would not hesitate to recommend this truly gifted man! I would say to anyone that is faced with the need for heart surgery "He is your guy" Thank you so much!!
