Patient Reviews
Dec 03, 2022
I have had two colonoscopies with Dr. McFarland. Both times he demonstrated good communication with me regarding the procedure. He also was personable in that he could small talk with me in order to put me at ease about the procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Mc Farland.
