Dear Selection Committee, It is with great enthusiasm that I nominate Dr. McGroary for the Physician Truly Caring Touch Award. He is an exceptional OBGYN physician who consistently goes above and beyond for his patients and demonstrates unwavering dedication to compassionate, patient-centered care. Dr. McGroary’s empathy is evident in every interaction he has with his patients. He takes the time to listen, empower, and support them through some of their most vulnerable moments. His patients regularly express how safe, heard, and genuinely cared for they feel under his care. His colleagues and team members also speak highly of his character. He is consistently described as kind, respectful, approachable, and deeply committed to the wellbeing of others. He is known for frequently accommodating his patients whenever possible, ensuring their needs remain his highest priority. Whether it requires additional time, flexibility in scheduling, or thoughtful collaboration with the care team, Dr. McGroary always places the patient first without hesitation. In addition to caring for his patients- he ensures that he is just as devoted to his work family. Dr. McGroary often participates in office activities and bonds with the practice team members, both clinical and administrative. He is kind and supportive of the team, often speaking up to highlight the accomplishments that could have otherwise gone unnoticed by others. He is truly one of a kind. You can ask anyone who knows him and they would agree! This level of compassion and dedication is not just admirable; it is transformational for the patient experience and for everyone who has the privilege of working alongside him. Dr. McGroary truly embodies the spirit of this award, and he is exceedingly deserving of this distinguished recognition and more! Please see some Press Ganey touching comments below left by some of his patients this year. Thank you for your consideration. “I cannot rave enough about Dr Dennis McGroary! He called me in to have a conversation with me about the safety of hormone replacement therapy due to breast cancer being predominant in my family. This is a conversation he could've simply had on the phone, but he felt it was important enough for him to spend time with me going over everything. I would recommend him to everyone, and will definitely be putting a review on google directing people toward him because that showed me that my health came first.” “Dr. McGroary is what a doctor should be. Patient focused, good listener, approachable. And his staff is great, too” “Love this Practice!! Dr McGroary is the Best!! I'm staying with him until he retires.” “I have been a patient of Dr. McGroary for many years. He has always been very knowledgeable and kind. He is the best.”
