Dr. McPherson is a very excellent professional doctor that I ever had.

First time seeing Dr McPherson, second time seeing his PA. Both were pleasant, knew why I was there and were direct about plans. I enjoyed being seen and am quite thrilled I will soon get a procedure to manage my problem.


Mar 28, 2025

There was no need to discuss how to prevent illness or injury. I love my physicians and always enjoy getting to see them. Cannot stress enough how much I appreciate the care that I get.

Dr. McPherson knowledge and care for his patients are unsurpassed.


Mar 21, 2025

I went ER WHMC in Lufkin, PCP office did a phone call visit, didn't have the ER info, asked about area of pain in my side, ER gave me copy of my blood work before I checked out. PCP couldn't see me, I brought my ER PW, gave it to Martin Suell, he checked it told me my Platelets were low. He had already checked our EKGs, Nurse notes. Martin went conferred with Dr McPherson and both came in, went over both our records said getting me appt to see Dr Idowu (Nunley sees Dr Idowu). They're great


Mar 21, 2025

Provider assistants (nurse, PA or tech) should update the patient at least every 15-20 minutes if the provider is going to be delayed. I was in the treatment room for over 2 hours waiting for the MD. At times I thought they forgot I was there. Communication is key. I do not mind waiting, but updates on MD visit status would be welcome.


Mar 14, 2025

Always a good experience. Nice, polite, knowledgeable and on time

There is nothing else anyone in this office could have done to make me feel assured that my health care was in good hands. From the scheduling to checkout everything was top tier. They were thorough and knew my medical history better than I did and used my history, labs, scans and concerns to make informed recommendations. Including me in my health journey at every step where a plan or decision needed to be made. In my opinion, this type of care makes you feel empowered and feel like your health is really in your hands and they are just their to assist you along the way. A good balance of medicine and self maintenance. Plus Dr. McPherson's calming and trusting nature could convince a two year old to take their medicine. He and his team definitely made sure I felt like a person that they did their homework on and not just a health issue. Awesome Five Star Team.


Mar 14, 2025

McPherson is a great doctor!


Mar 14, 2025

Martin interviewed me for about 20 minutes about my condition. As always , he was very thorough and caring. Then he reported what we had discussed to Dr. Mc Pherson. The doctor then came in for just 2-3 minutes, and seemed rushed, completely unusual for him. He usually talks longer with me. Still, even in the short time he was with me, he was his usual warm, caring self. He always inspires confidence in his concern for me.


Mar 14, 2025

The entire staff treated he. and recognized ke, like an old friend.
