Patient Reviews
Mar 22, 2024
The first time I called for a severe sinus infection that started before Christmas and had multiple rounds of antibiotics, I called and got in as a new patient THAT SAME DAY!! Every time I’ve been in there, they were on time, kind, and extremely helpful. Dr, McCaffery and his PA are an amazing team! I have been to 2 other surgeons and surgeries and his office has done more for me to help treat this issue with the most care. I will be going in for a third surgery and I have high hopes that third time will be a charm!
