Dr. McQuilkin is one of the most caring and empathetic providers I have had the privilege of meeting. His knowledge on dysautonomia is incredible, and he is answers all my questions thoroughly and without being condescending. His schedule is a lot more accessible than other dysautonomia providers in the area, and in my experience the care is far superior.

We just moved to [...] about a month ago so this is our first visit, trying to get health care established. Dr. Brad was very personable, kind and knowledgeable. He asked questions and ask so made sure I, as the parent, felt comfortable with the care and the frequency of care recommended. He also offered to get a referral for an ophthalmologist which we also needed, being new. That was taken care of within two hours of our appointment. Excellent customer service! We will definitely return to him for care.
