| Patient Testimonial “Dr. McGill performed my surgery in March 2011. I have lost 46 pounds as of May 12. He is both professional and kind. His bedside manner is the best I've ever experienced. He is gentle and soft-spoken. “The worst part was dealing with Aetna insurance and waiting for approval. Both Dr. McGill and his staff were very patient and guided me through the difficult insurance process. Jackie, his dietitian, was great and gave me a lot of good tips. I am doing great, not to mention that I have been healed of Type- II diabetes! I would recommend Dr. McGill and his staff to anyone.” |
