    Dr. Madigan is a very well educated Doctor. But her attention to detail and open communication is what I love about her. I was very sick and she came to my room at the hospital almost every day. Now that I have gotten a lot better she still stays on top of my case.

    Dr Madigan is my hero. When everyone else kept passing me off to another doctor. She was the only one who cared to find out the cause of my injury and took the steps to help when no one else cared.
