    How was your appointment with Dr. McWherter?

    Feb 06, 2018
    I see Dr. Mcwherter at a location off of Dupont Circle. I have complete faith in him, and his nurse, he always has a funny joke to tell me, and he is so personable. It’s nice to go somewhere where people remember you, and treat you like they’re somebody that has known you forever. I unfortunately had a bad experience the last time I was there with a technician, but I’ll continue to go for Dr. jokes and his nurse! I won’t go anywhere else
