Superhero with a Scalpel
Dr. McCain and his staff met my masked fear with high positive energy. They answered questions with clarity but also with an understanding that I was scared. Dr. McCain greeted my son with the compassion of your favorite Uncle. I did not have any pain from the surgery and still don't. Dr. McCain is a superhero with a scalpel. I am forever grateful!

Amazing doctor and amazing team. Dr. McCain saved my life. He's truly an amazing person and professional. He took care of me from the beginning of my diagnosis, made me feel hopeful and put all my worries at ease. His staff helped with setting up everything that needed to be done before and after surgery making the process easier on me and my family. I am forever grateful for the time and effort they put in every day.

Excellent Surgeon
Dr. McCain removed my mom’s breast cancer years ago and now when she was diagnosed with skin cancer he was the only surgeon she wanted. Once again with the second surgery Dr. McCain proved to us that he is truly a rockstar of a surgeon.

Most unprofessional DR and staff. Had a three minute consult for $650 where he “ told” me what I will do without conversation and left the room . His staff was uncaring , rude and highly inefficient from their insurance staff to their front desk . Wouldn’t believe this experience , would NEVER consider their services

In my life that's been filled with hair-raising diagnosis,' I've met hundreds of doctors in my life. This summer I was told I had a liver problem I was probably not going to walk away from. My original surgeon got in touch with Dr. McCain as he is considered the finest in the NYC area. I can tell you, I just needed a surgical magician. I didn't know I was about to meet the most compassionate, charming man in the trip-state area with a staff to match. I'm honored to have my life back. I owe him

I have had the privilege of being treated by Dr. McCain. Words cannot even describe how amazing this doctor is. Not only is he brilliant, he is compassionate too. At each visit Dr. McCain took the time to explain tests, results, and course of actions thoroughly to me. I will be forever grateful for the care he provided me with. Being diagnosed with breast cancer at 37 years old was traumatic. But, Dr. McCain always managed to my lift me spirits up at each visit. He staff also wonderful too!
