We’ve built a relationship over years of care. He knows me, and knows my preferences for things like prescriptions or specialty care.

I came in with severe abdominal pain. Dr Mackessy said it was a UTI and prescribed a sulfate. Three days later the test results were posted as negative. However the medicine had wiped out my gut flora , leaving me with C-diff, horrible pain, nausea and diarrhea, resulting in a 16 pound weight loss and a traumatic trip to the emergency room.

I'm a long time patient. Dr. Mackessy is a very kind, compassionate, and of course, a very knowledgeable physician. I always feel very well cared for when I have an appointment with him.
