Dr. McGinnis is the most thorough healthcare provider I have ever seen. He listened to all my concerns, asked questions, and took very detailed notes. He is being very comprehensive with my care and though we have not made a diagnosis yet, I know I am in great hands and that makes me feel much better about my current health concerns. I drove over an hour for this appointment and it was well worth it. I am so thankful to be his patient.
