I was so impressed at how knowledgeable Dr McArthur was about my medical history. It was my first visit to them as a new patient.
1st time meeting new doctor. They are very knowledgeable and cares.u00A0 u00A0it was a pleasant visit
Dr MacArthur was extremely professional and knowledgeable! Every visit to this office makes me feel so much better I appreciate this practice so much! Dr MacArthur thank you!!
Dr MacArthur was great. they came in knowing my child had autism and likely had sensory issues and if there was anything they could do to make him most comfortable. It was very reassuring that they were aware of his specific needs and was willing to adapt to whatever would work best for him. It makes me proud as not only a parent but also as a southcoast employee and member of the More Abilities employee resource group. Thank you for being more!
I was seen very quickly and everyone was so nice.
The facility and the staff was amazing, always kind, always courteous. The provider I had, MacArthur, was wonderful. They listened to what I had to say. They didn't rush. They asked me if I had any questions. They talked in a manner that someone elderly can understand, not using big words that I don't understand. they were absolutely wonderful and I would recommend them and their facility to anyone.

My son and I both had appointments with Dr. MacArthur today. They are our new primary care physician. We were both very impressed with their demeanor, their background knowledge on both of us, as well as their comprehensive assessment of our current status relative to our health and future goals to improve our health.
