    Dr.McCoy is an extremely compassionate physician and explains all required care necessary along with reasons for care. He helps me understand why I need to continue treatment and how different systems are impacted by certain treatments.

    Dr. McCoy encouraged me to do a Gastric surgery which has resulted in lowering my blood pressure medication my A1c and losing 38 lbs since surgery 10 weeks ago. Without his encouragement I never would have be able to take this important step for my health. He has been an amazing physician who listens very carefully to my needs. I'm am grateful to have him in my corner & always appreciate how thorough & thoughtful he is about my health
