Doctor Mccullough was the best doctor. I felt very seen and listened to, i felt trusted and I was not treated like I was dumb for informing myself about medical things regarding my appointment, The moment I walked in I felt so comfortable and his energy was just perfect. Will be coming to this doctor for as long as I reside in NYC ??.

An incredibly kind and professional doctor. I didn’t feel rushed at all, he really took the time to listen to my concerns and make sure everything was addressed properly. He answered all of my questions and I felt he was genuinely invested in well-being.
Very non judge mental and patient. He helped me lay out a long term plan for a few different issues.
Normally I would gatekeep a doctor like this so I can always get an appointment BUT he’s building up his practice in nyc… so I’ll give a shout. It felt like talking to a friend but yknow- one with a medical degree!
