    I have been with Dr. McDermott for several years and during that time, he has always been current and knowledgeable in regard to my case history and attentive and receptive to any new issues I have brought to his attention. I have never left an appointment with him feeling rushed or that I wasn't heard. During my visit on [redacted], I requested an immediate blood draw to check on my potassium level which we had been monitoring closely. Within minutes I was accommodated and within 24 hours, I had the results and follow-up from Dr. McDermott. It doesn't get much better than that. Thank you.
