Dr. Alexander Russell Mackay, MD

This doctor is great. Has helped me so much.

Dr MacKay has operated on my back 3 times and each time the results were fantastic. He and his staff are so kind and professional. I look forward to his relieving my pain because I know that will be the result.

Eventhough my case was tough and others were not willing to try, he was willing to take me as a patient. I understand that a doctor has to justify the tests and hospitalizations they request. Often a doctor will not hospitalize a patient and run tests unless they are pretty sure it can be justified. Dr. McKay did that for me eventhough it seemed unlikely a cause would be found. And when it seemed like I was a nut to everyone else, he remained kind and compassionate. I did not ever feel like he was concerned about anything but helping me. And I should add, he is professinal and knew what he was doing. His persistence did lead to a cure for me. He is a very special person. Thank you so very much.

Quite simply, Dr. MacKay is my hero!! For the past 20 years he has taken excellent care of my dilapidated spine, allowing me a say inmy care! Between fusions, laminectomies and CTR's, this man has kept me walking and talking! We jest that his children have now completed college but I gently remind him I'm now working on the grand baby's education! You see, I have DDD and I will always be under his care, retirement is out of the question as long as I have a spine :-) I highly recommend this man that is a true gift from God!

My husband has stage 4 lung cancer and has had gamma knife 5 times so far. Dr. Mackay has been one of his doctors for over a year and I can't say enough about him. He has been up-front with us from the start and always answers our questions to the best of our ability. I would recommend him to anyone needing a neurosurgeon.

I was referred to Dr. Meyer for an artificial disc placement, 2 years ago at age 29. Dr. Meyer was not yet certified to perform the procedure, but her partner, Dr. MacKay was. My experience with both of them was excellent. Their team worked with my insurance to get the artificial disc for my neck, instead of a traditional fusion surgery. Both had excellent bedside manner and took the time to discuss the procedure with me. The results were terrific. I felt better immediately following the procedure (the same day). I would highly recommend either of these physicians, and am very thankful for the relief of headaches and neck pain that they have provided to me through their services.

I really like Dr. Mackay. He seems interested in you. I would definitly recommend him.I like his style.

Dr MacKay is NUMBER 1 in my book!!!

I've had 3 successful surgeries from Dr. McKay. When needed he has referred me to other specialist without hesitation. His office visits are quick and to the point but he is not rude or dismissive, just busy. A dry sense of humor that I like. I don't get the impression he is in it just for the money, his waiting room is populated by all classes of people. His staff is very friendly and courteous. I don't hesitate to recommend him.
