Dr. James McKinley is a very very good surgeon I would love to refer him to all my family and friends if I can, I would I think he's the best surgeon that I ever came across I had my very first surgery with him and it came out amazing. He did a wonderful job. So yes in my eyes he is the best. I think he went to the best schools and got the best education for his practice. Keep up the good work, Dr. James McKinley.
