    Dr. McCoy is an extremely compassionate physician. I have been seeing him for a couple of years. During that time he is extremely honest and treats me as a member of his family. He suggests treatments or solutions to health issues that are not only in his area of expertise but goes beyond. I feel very well taking care by Dr. McCoy. He is an excellent physician.

    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
