Reviews of Dr. Craig M. Mcgoran, MD (Doctor)

Todd Arrigoni

My whole family has been going to Dr McGoran for well over a decade and have never been treated with anything but respect, care, and love. He was there with us when my father passed away, coming in to visit in the hospital on his day off, and has been with us through the trials and tribulations of life and childbirth. One of my favorite things about him is that if he doesn't know the answer to a question he'll tell you and then he'll go out of his way to either direct you to someone who does know the answer or he'll find out on his own. He doesn't blow smoke like so many other medical professionals. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. McGoran to ANYONE seeking a primary care physician.

Dr. McGoran is the best. He is the primary family doctor for myself and our two boys. He is always very attentive and gives attention to the details. Very understanding of various situations and open to alternate approaches. Helpful, respectful, considerate, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend him!!

Had my 1st appt. w/Dr. Craig Mcgoran today & I've never been treated with such disrespect in my life by a physician. I'd seen oodles of positive Google reviews stating "he has excellent bedside manner & really listens to what his patients are saying", HA! Not true at all! He gets 1 star because it's the minimum. I was diagnosed w/Insomnia years ago & last night I hadn't slept hardly at all(I mention this because it plays a role). Lately it's gotten worse, I feel sleep deprived all day & can't think clearly. I didn't want to reschedule as I'd already waited a 1.5 mo to be seen. I arrived early as requested to fill out paperwork. I always rely on my cell for my list of meds, allergies, prior diagnosis, & surgeries but my battery is acting up & died even though it was fully charged. His assistant called me back (she was extremely nice by the way), asked me about allergies, meds, etc. routine stuff, I was trying to recall & answer her questions while I'm filling out the papers & obviously I was struggling to remember the info, I'm used to pulling out my cell from the word doc's. She said it was okay & I could call back with the info. I informed her that I've been seen at the UW urgent care, the info should be in the system. Dr. Mcgoran comes in, introduces himself & states that it's nice that they now have electronic medical records, they can see records from other docs & meds they've prescribed, then he turns towards me & asks me why I didn't list a specific med (don't want to disclose on Google)? Honestly, it's the 1st time I've ever forgotten to list this med. My only explanation for my error is that I was extremely tired and made a mistake, I'm human. I was trying so hard to remember all the other everyday meds & not so everyday meds (but meds that I take on occasion if there's warrant for it). I just needed to establish care so if I get sick, I have a doctor that's close by. I moved from Everett not long ago & hate the commute to Kirkland to see my current PCP, hence why I'm looking for one closer. I tried explaining this to him but Dr. Mcgoran had his mind made up before he even came in the room. He treated me as if I was intentionally trying to hide it from him so I could score more...which is so so far from the truth & he didn't let up the entire visit. It was extremely insulting & degrading! I am a Certified Medical Assistant, I know all about how electronic medical records work. I'd told the assistant to look at the urgent care's system for this info to fill in my memory gaps. It would've shown that I'm on a this med. I wouldn't have brought that up if I was trying to hide it. I have an agreement w/my treating physician & wouldn't dream of violating his trust! I didn't feel that this kind of treatment was necessary from Dr. Mcgoran. I cried when I got home & I hardly ever cry but that's how below him he made me feel. All because I forgot to write down a med that I take that I'm not even asking him for, wasn't even on my radar! The only reason I didn't write it down is because the Insomnia is taking its toll on me! I went there with the high hopes that I was meeting my new PCP. All the reviews painted him out to be this professional, nice, caring, & understanding doc. Instead I paid a $20 copay to feel like trash that got tossed out someone's car window & got tracked inside on the bottom of someone's shoe. Thank you Dr. Mcgoran, thank you for your awesome bedside manner. You won't be making anymore $ off me & my husband is canceling his new patient appt. w/you also. We can do better.
