7 Patient Reviews for
Dr. McGregor
"Dr. Walter McGregor and his team were fantastic! I can't imagine a higher standard of patient care. He was attentive, professional, confidence boosting, and steady. He was not only proud of the team he had assembled, he was also convinced they would take great care of me (which they did). I would highly recommend him and the folks at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh."

"Dr. McGregor was excellent. He talked to me and provided all the options. His staff was attentive and very accommodating. After surgery, I saw Dr. McGregor every day in my recovery room - all 7 days! His team of physician assistants, attendings and the nursing staff at Allegheny Health were top notch. I would recommend him and the team at Allegheny Health to anyone!"
