Dr McLynn is excellent. He took the time to talk to me and hear my concerns. He ordered X-rays and made sure I understood the results. He gave me several treatment options and even gave me some exercises to help. He showed me different ways of doing a couple exercises that could benefit my recovery. He provided me with a PT script if needed. I left the appointment feeling heard and optimistic knowing I have a doctor that I can depend on. This was a great visit. Thank you. Melissa Pittman.

His nurse Holly wasn’t very nice but wrote it off as her having a bad day. When Dr McLynn walked in and had the same attitude towards us i realized it was systemic and ended my visit without receiving care. I don’t expect anyone to be overly friendly but listening to why a patient is there for care should be step one in any interaction. It was clear to me and wife that i would not receive the care desired.
