    Dr. McLoughlin is thoughtful, takes his time with you, and is very helpful. I think he's very competent and professional. My only negative would be how long you have to wait, but when he's with you, he's taking his time with you, so I can be okay with that, [redacted].

    I thought he was one of the most personable,immediately likable Doctors I've met with in a while! Liked his bedside manner very much and I felt cared for/treated as a health concern involving me entirely,not just the one toenail problem I saw him for.Additionally,he also gave me needed and useful for the future advice concerning my problem.The problem seemed to be chronic and something I just would have to manage better,but after what he taught me about the possible etiology and cause of it I felt it was something he cured for me.(Along with his prescribed treatment).

    Dr. Mcloughlin has always been a thorough competent doctor with wonderful patient interactions. Before coming to the room he took time to review the x-ray I had had of my foot at an urgent care facility a few days earlier. He then examined with my feet, told me why he thought there was a slight break that had also shown on the x-ray. He even brought in a model of a foot to help him explain to me what he found on the x-ray and the examination and his diagnosis. He said whether it was ligament or a bit of bone as well, the treatment would be to wear an air cast. A nurse or assistant fit me for the aircraft and I was able to make an appointment for a follow up visit in one month
