03/13/2025

Dr. McMahon is the best doctor I've ever had. He is a great listener, and he provides practical, responsive medical evaluations and advice. The time he gives to listen and discuss health concerns is an outlier and truly a gift. The imposters and miscreants who govern our broken medical machine would do well to study and duplicate the way Dr. McMahon prioritizes the humanity of his patients. Alas, our worship of the almighty greenback is incompatible with what's best for the health of the people.
