Internal Medicine is run very efficiently. Most staff are very cordial and professional. During this season of Covid extra precautions are in place and that creates a feeling of safety.

Dr McDermott is a caring & brilliant physician who works diligently to assist you with all of your health challenges. I am a previous COVID19 patient, I am now Negative. However, I have experienced a multitude of mysterious debilitating side effects. Dr McDermott always is insightful with treatment"medication to help me function better.

I am so fortunate to have her as my doctor, I would recommend her to everyone person I know!!!
