Extremely satisfied with our visit. Our doctor was accessible, knew our history, cared about our concerns, and came up with ideas and plans.

Love everything about Dr McPherson except the cost but I understand the cost actually gives us access to more care and ability to easily contact her and see her In a timely way. Although I am new to Dr McPherson's practice I am so happy with her and her patience with me.

Dr McPherson is most professional, bears a big heart, it is always about you, if you have high blood pressure she will certainly lower it to normal. She is everything a patient could wish for.

Dr. McPherson is the best doctor I have ever had. She listens very well. She has gotten to the bottom of problems that I have had for years that other doctors have either ignored or brushed off. She sent me for further tests to get to the root of the problem. I am completely satisfied with her as a doctor.
