    I travel from [redacted] Vermont several times each year specifically to see Dr. Mckay, which reflects the high regard I have for his care. He offers a thoughtful balance of realism and reassurance, communicates clearly, and consistently ensures I have all the information I need. I remain committed to traveling hours from home in order to continue receiving his exceptional care.

    After many, many years and visits with other physicians, I finally found an eye doctor who cares and is extremely competent and worries about every aspect of what's going on. And I'm extremely happy with Dr. McKay. He's amazing. I would recommend him to the president. Thank you.

    I'm very happy with the care that Dr. McKay gives. I myself am a physician, so I kind of know, what a good physician does. He does a really great job. He has a lot of expertise in his area, and I'm very grateful to seeing someone who has that level of experience. He's available to, you know, take a call if needed in between sessions. And I'm just trying to think. He explains things well. He's reassuring about things regarding the eye can cause worry to patients. And I've felt reassured about what is happening.

    It's nice when doctors introduce themselves when they walk in the room and say, hello, I'm Dr. So-and-so, instead of just walking in the room and sitting down, period. I know these doctors are all geniuses, and they are brilliant and wonderful, and I appreciate them all, but I like to know who I'm talking to, period. Thank you, period.

    I wish they gave me more information as to what to expect and what is a concern. I'm new to this condition, and I am uncertain about what is concerning. I used to message with status updates in case anything was concerning, but they stopped reading and didn't reply to my last message. I feel this would be easier for me if they set expectations regarding the recovery process.

    The appointment was a follow up to an emergency room visit. I am confident I am in good hands regarding the monitoring of my condition. I live in [redacted] on Cape Cod, the distance was the only difficulty, but that has no bearing on the care provided.
