With many healthcare people in our family, I may be a bit more critical than most, and a bit more knowledgeable about when things are going well or poorly in an office. Dr. May is personable, not rushed, knowledgeable, and skilled. He is willing to take the time to work with patients for their betterment, rather than just "treating" them. He takes his work very seriously, but, happily, not himself.

I've been going to Dr. May since 2003 and have always had the absolute best experiences with him. He knows how I am about preferring to avoid medications/surgery whenever possible and has made numerous recommendations with that in mind. He's got a very sweet manner and someone I would highly recommend to my friends (and I do!).

We have been very fortunate to have Dr. May as our physician. He is a very compassionate, caring ,Godly man.As a Christian it is very important for me to be able to share not only my physical needs,but also share some of the issues that I feel the need to share. It is very difficult to find someone who understands that our body, heart,and soul are all important to the make up for who we are..I Thank God for directing me and my family to such a WONDERFUL DOCTOR AND NURSES AND STAFF !

So happy my daughter recommended Dr. May. He is obviously very knowledgeable and experienced in his profession, but most importantly he takes the time to really LISTEN. He's a very kind and caring person who gives importance to each and every concern you have.
