Review for Dr. McGinity
I am really impressed with my new PCP family doctor. She takes time with you and she LISTENS! If you are looking for that in a doctor and one that’s willing to explore ways to help you have a better quality of life, then I recommend her. (And I must admit I’m pretty finicky)
