    Dr. McLoughlin was wonderful. He was knowledgeable, professional, warm, and willing to help in a way that other podiatrists I've seen at BWH were not. He gave me good recommendations for shoes, urea cream, and gave me a soft boot to help with a muscle problem. I appreciated his suggestion to come back in three months. It was an excellent experience. I would highly recommend him.

    I was very pleased with this doctor. He listened to what my problems were. He understood what I was talking about and he was extremely gentle working on my toes. They're very sore and I've had doctors work out ingrown toenails before or cut my nails before and it felt like they were ripping my toes off.
