Dr. Mccormick came in and talked to me for a minute, asked the nurse a couple of questions, witnessed the scope that was being performed and expressed his opinion. He answered my questions to my satisfaction. This was a followup to my procedure done in August. The results are as good as can be expected. The team made sure I knew what to watch for. Unless there are indications I need them to address, I am back to normal annual exams. Life is good!

I am unable to stand up straight when this happens without pain. I was told I was just experiencing more pain than others.

Doctor McCormick did not show any empathy for my situation. He just suggested to remove my kidney. He was arrogant. I understand that doctors have been extremely busy the last 2 years, but some compassion and understanding is still expected, specially when you don't understand what is exactly happening with your health. I will definitely seek for a second opinion. I did not feel he answered my questions.

Jan 08, 2022
UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

Besides having his assistant and some other doctor/colleague keep me busy until he found time to attend our appointment, he gave me no information for me beyond what was discussed at our first appointment on November 3. To be very honest, it seems like he completely forgot or did not care to do any follow up on my case since we last met. If he had no information, ideas, answers, anything, just cancel the appointment. Send me an email to tell me you have no idea what you are doing so I can find a doctor who will help me and stop wasting my time.
