My experience with Dr. McKinley has always been excellent. From the beginning he listened to my "story" and the difficulty I had with other meds for this condition. He thoughtly suggested the course of action I am on and has monitored the results on a consistent basis. The result has been an improvement in this condition.

I am so very happy to have changed Doctors. He took time to explain my last blood tests in a way no other doctor has. He also explained why he agreed with continuing my prescription and we made a plan for treatment together. Clone him!

Dr. McKinley was excellent in every way. He spent a great deal of time explaining the treatments available to me and the pros and cons of each. He used past procedures done to inform himself, for instance he viewed a chest Xray that had been taken previously to check for pneumonia, to observe the condition of my spine and also thoroughly reviewed blood tests done from my yearly physical. He was kind, compassionate, and professional. I would recommend him to anyone!

My appointment with Dr. McKinley was exceptional. As the medical profession continues to change at the expense of all who are participating, particularly patients, due to constraints on physicians and their staff, my visit with Dr. McKinley was how they were maybe 10 years ago, an actual conversation, thorough questions and patient education. I appreciate his time, effort, and attention given. As a side note, the office staff was great, and the radiology staff. Overall, great experience.

[redacted] Dr. McKinley came in. I cannot remember the last time, or any time, that I have had a doctor explain things to me in the way that me did. He took his time and explained everything he was checking and why. He asked questions to fully understand what was happening with me and explained why and what he thought the reasons were. He took time to tell me some things that might help me and I so appreciate all he did for me that day. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. I felt reassured and a great sense of relief when I left his office.

Dr. McKinley was a surprise to me. He really was a very, very positive physician who listened to what I had to say, explained about my situation, and explained what I should be doing and how he's going to deal with my osteoporosis. I really appreciated him. I appreciate the time he took with me and I'm really, very happy that I have him as a clinician.

Dr. McKinley spoke clearly and at just the right speed so I could understand my particular situation with osteoporosis. He explained about the parathyroide glands and that mine were overactive as of a lab report last year (which I remembered) and that another blood test this year would give us info on my parathyroide this year. This morning [redacted] Dr. McKinley himself phoned to give me my lab results. He spoke slowly enough so I could write the test data down, answered my questions and offered to make an appointment for me to see an endocronologist in the office. I was overjoyed that he personally called me and that he would make the appointment for me. This help was so appreciated!
