I have seen 3 physicians since my accident and Dr. McLimore was far most the best. He listen to my concerns and was very personable. He was thorough with is exam. He explained to me my diagnosis and how he would proceed with treatment. I am so grateful.

I saw a provider and then needed X-rays. I was walked from my room in a gown, underwear and socks. I was made to wait in a waiting room full of fully dressed patients. This was humiliating, and seemed almost unethical. Patients shouldn't be walked through hallways with limited clothes. Or made sit next to strangers in a gown minus their undergarments. This part of the office needs a new structure and plan.

Dr Mclimore was one of the best doctors I've ever seen. He took the time to listen and talk to me about my concerns and not just rush me off with pain meds like a lot of other doctors have tried to do. He helped me with a plan and a future plan if this doesn't work. I highly recommend this doctor!
