Review for Dr. Clinch
All he does is push pills on you and has all kinds of tests done. He never figured out what was causing my high blood pressure and why it would not drop. Just kept loading me up on pills and said to come back for a 6 month follow up. I spent three days in the hospital for acute renal failure because...

Review for Dr. McGowan
Dr. Gallagher explained the difference between atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter very well. He explained the 3 choices for treatment and discussed that he felt I could do either the cardioversion or ablation since I preferred not to do additional medicine, He answered all questions that we...

Review for Dr. Gallagher
Rude and horrible bedside manners. I have never had a doctor this bad. She talks over you and won't let you ask questions nor listen to your concerns. I will never want her to care for any of my loved ones. Please stay away from her.

Worst experience ever! Poor business model and customer service! I had seen Dr Proffit for 7 years and can't say enough praise about him. Clinch and his team bought the practice and allowed it to fail until they finally closed the doors! It took 4 1/2 months before I recieved a bill! They never...
