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.

Need surgery again after 10 months
I was given a partial knee replacement on 10/31/22. I inquired many times about needing a full, and was told it was not necessary and that I was too young. Well, 10 months later, I am in more pain than I was before surgery. After getting a 2nd opinion, I discovered I should have had a full knee replacement. I am having to have my surgery redone- the partial removed and replaced with a full. I am not at all happy with the care I received from Dr. McCormack.

Had hip replacement in May 2018 and he did not connect the tendons and muscles back and left me with a bad limp. Went back to see him and didn't seem concerned about it . Just told me when to come back. Ended up going for a second option and had to have another surgery to correct it.

We share a patient in common. I am a Medical Massage Therapist for 21 years, often working closely with Plastic & Orthopedic Surgeons, DC & DO Physicians, Fertility & Injury Clinics, along with Mental Health Professionals. I have seen the good & the bad/problematic results of professionals. I have only seen 4 perfect results from Surgeries, although others were good & needed. Dr. McCormach, you performed the most skilled Hip Replacement Surgery with true artistry & Holistic detailed attention.
