It was a pleasure to meet Dr McLoughlin. He demonstrates that while he is clearly experienced and professional he is also warm, attentive and informative. He made several suggestions to address a long standing painful hammertoe. I'm eager to implement all of them. Please let him know how much I appreciate his time and knowledge.

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.

Dr. Mcloughlin was very thoughtful and took his time examining my foot, looking at my chart and listening to me. The treatment plan he came up with worked wonderfully, after years of pain, if it hadn't he had a plan B. I am very grateful for his expertise which led to a solution to something I have been dealing with for a very long time!

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. This doctor was extremely gentle and got everything done perfectly. I was very, very happy.
