I have been a patient of Dr. Caughron for over 35 years. He has a caring and respectful bedside manner. You can tell right away that he went into medicine to help people; not for the money. He ALWAYS takes the time to answer my questions in detail regardless of how many questions I have. His knowledge of medicine always impresses me. He always calls me back or responds to my app's message. If I had it to do all over again, I most certainly would have chosen Mike again.

This is how medicine should be practiced. Dr Caughron takes the time, has the knowledge, asks the right questions, waits for the answers, seeks clarification, uses all resources, and clearly explains every issue of importance, whether to the medical profession, or, more importantly, to me. This man is a gem, and I am lucky that he is my doctor.

I have difficulties reaching him. The nurse often does not respond to my call. I don't normally get the result of the tests. Once I see him, his bedside manner is excellent, his diagnosis is pretty good, and he in never in rush and explain the situation in the way that I can understand. Overall he is a good doctor, but need to improve the communication.

Been going to him for 15 years. Never met a more caring doctor who is concerned with your health. Never rushes you, waits for full explanations before asking his questions. He also saved my life by detecting prostate cancer while my PSA scores were very low. His nurses are great and caring also. Only negative, might have a long wait before you get into see him-I assume he is taking GOOD care of his other patients.
