Very efficient office, was used to the protocol Middletown has. This location is slightly different in Warwick. Dr McLaughlin is a professional. He is a bit more reserved than Winchester Penny, but he listened to my concerns and didn’t interrupt me. He understood my concerns and ordered the tests we both felt would help figure the situation out.
Though he has a quicker pace to his practice, don’t be afraid to stop him to emphasize your concerns. He will listen! The reviews about him are true. He is a professional.

Dr. McLaughlin was great!! I came in with another issue besides my cardiology follow up, and he expedited a CT scan that I needed. Also got me an Echocardiogram that I needed, right away. He took care of everything and in a timely manner. I would definitely give him 5 stars!!

This was my first appointment with Dr. McLaughlin. He definitely made a great first impression. He was completely thorough with obtaining my history and immediately ordered testing, which was done there on the spot. Can't ask for anymore than that. Also, all the staff involved in my care were friendly too. I would absolutely recommend Dr. McLaughlin
October 3, 2019Edward S.Verified patient
He is awesome!!
July 18, 2019Steve S.Verified patient
The Doctor takes the stance right away of wanting to hear what you the patient wants to say. It was a non rushed, easy discussion coupled by an exam and test result reviews. Future planning and testing was discussed, to see again afterwards. Overall a very nice gentleman physician for cares.
June 26, 2019William D.Verified patient
