My husband arrived at the first appointment with Dr. McKalip in June of this year, a notebook full of questions in hand to ask. He need not have bothered with his list, however, as Dr. McKalip was very detail oriented and explained everything. His ties to his community, the compassion he showed me and the caring way he spoke to me just demonstrated his trustworthiness and left me feeling very comfortable about putting my surgery in his capable hands. I once heard that surgeons are God’s angels at work here on earth. Dr. McKalip has proven this to be true.

Dr. McKalip is a phenomenal neurosurgeon. During my very first visit with him I found that he not only gave me 100% of his attention, but he also clearly explained to me what my surgery options were.

Dr. McKalip is very skilled and I will definitely go back to him if I need any further surgeries.

From the moment he handed me a CD about DBS to the last follow-up appointment, Dr. McKalip and his staff were always available, attentive, caring and responsive. From the get-go, I was in safe hands. And, best of all, my tremors have lessened remarkably…
