The Dr and his staff were extremely kind. The first day I met Dr McGannon, he told me that the type of glaucoma I have is hereditary. Who knew? Now I can forewarn my children and grandchildren.

Reviewed on Oct 7, 2024

Can't give a recommendation for the doctor as he hasn't completed the treatment. I can comment on his dislike of questions from a patient. It seemed as if he thought I was challenging him but I was seeking answers regarding my future surgery.

The staff in Dr. McGannon's office is wonderful and attentive. However, waiting ten days for a call (so far and counting) to schedule cataract surgery Is unreasonable, especially without any idea how far out surgeries are being scheduled. Weeks? Months? It's a discount of a patient's time and shows a disregard for our time and ability to plan. I have had other surgeries at the Cleveland Clinic and scheduling was done In a much more timely fashion.

Dr. McGannon is thorough, pleasant, attentive, professional and caring. My sister referred me to him as she had had him for years; and she as I am very particular with my health care physician choices. I believe in good communication and Dr. McGannon provided me with a thorough explanation of the cataract proceedure. He deals with it every day but he understands that patients know nothing about the surgery and I am thankful for this trait in a physician.
