It is easy and gratifying to recommend Dr. McGrath to other persons that I know that are experiencing allergy symptoms -especially those that are not completely satisfied with their present allergist or the primary care physician that treats their allergies. I am 100% confident Dr. McGrath will provide them with the highest level of care possible and that he will apply his incredible depth of allergy knowledge and years of medical practice experience to help them. It is quite clear that he keeps up on the latest clinical developments in allergy as well as a wide array of other healthcare topics.
