Great experience during the procedure!!! Walked me through the whole process and even took the time to talk about our last name experience. Can't say I have ever had a doctor take the time to ask me about my names lineage and not just another patient rolling on through!!! Had also heard from numerous friends and friends I have that work in the Reno/Sparks medical field and spoke highly of him!!

I was a nervious wreck at my first shot cause I don’t like shots… the nurse was very understanding and the dr. Has a lil dry bed side manor but got in and got the job done with no issues he took the time to talk to me about other stuff rather than what he was doing knowing I was very nervous not even 10 mins later I AM WALKING for the first time in 3 years with no limp and no pain !!!! I can ONLY HOPE THIS LASTS A WHILE !!!

Dr. McDermott was very competent and explained the epidural procedure before and constantly during the process. I feel very confident with his care. I highly recommend him.

Great listener, kind and caring! Always sees me in a timely manner and all procedures are done with step by step explanations! He and his staff are so kind and put up with my constant yammering during my procedures! He’s the best!
