I would suggest you avoid this doctor.
He seems friendly enough however, that's the only redeeming quality. "Bill stuffing" is the term I would describe this office. I was charged for things that no other ENT has charged me for. The front desk is totally unprofessional and disorganized. Even the phones don't work right. I was willing to accept all of that except, I went for a second opinion. I spent the morning seeing a team of doctors at UofM. 4 specialists and 1 intern said (in various ways) that he was wrong and that surgery wasn't recommend, necessary, or something they would suggest. The head of the clinic literally called him a liar after looking at the same CT scan that was taken at McMahan's office and looked at by McMahan.
"He said I had a sinus infection."
"He lied to you."
Nice guy though. Bet he has some good fishing stories.

I never felt comfortable with Dr. McMahan. If you're older you may appreciate it more, but I felt like I was being dictated to, not having any input into my care.

My experience seeing doctor McMahan resulted in multiple tests, CT scans and blood work with no conclusion or diagnosis. He looked up my symptoms on google right in front of my and focused on things unrelated to my symptoms. The staff was flustered and unreliable. I had to wait an hour after my scheduled appointment time to see the doctor. Overall terrible experience.

I just had nasal turbinate and deviated septum surgery last week, performed by Doctor McMahan. I recently became a patient of his and I am already singing this doctor praises and recommending him to all my friends, colleagues, etc. Fantastic bedside manner, great sense of humor. He definitely has made what could have been a bad experience a very good one! Absolutely one of the best doctors and experiences I have ever had with a healthcare professional.
