“I love this clinic, all three of my kids go to Dr. McGonnell. He is incredibly patient and kind and he takes time to answer any and all questions and provides helpful advice when needed. The nurses are all friendly as well! The place is very clean. There are two locations, this one in Plano and the other in Dallas, both located in hospitals and equally nice. I like that when I had to bring my kids in for a sick visit, they were taken in immediately. They were seen by another doctor who was just as nice which is reassuring for moments like those. Great place!”
