Patient testimonials
When I first met Dr. McGee, I had hit rock bottom. I was a full-blown opioid addict. I left that first meeting with a sense that if I listened to Dr. McGee, I had a real chance to get my life back.
Through his wisdom, compassion, and experience, he gave me the tools to do exactly that. It has been a long time since that first meeting, and today I have regained the love and trust of the people around me. Quite simply, Dr. McGee and his program saved my life. I would not be the man I am today without his help and guidance. We live in a world overwhelmed by addiction, and Dr. McGee’s program offers a way to conquer and cope with this deadly disease. He has my deepest respect and eternal gratitude.

I have been a patient of Dr. McGee for over eight years, and it has truly been a life-changing experience. I have learned skills and strategies that elevated both my life and career, while also supporting my recovery. Unlike other doctors I have seen in the past, Dr. McGee genuinely cares about me as a person. Whether my appointment is in person or over FaceTime, his presence conveys warmth and compassion, making it easy to share even my most personal thoughts.
In addition to helping me live clean for seven consecutive years, Dr. McGee encouraged me to believe in myself—to pursue and complete my law degree while working full time. I am now just 18 months away from earning that degree.
I am deeply grateful and indebted to Dr. McGee, and I will continue to see him for as long as he will have me as a patient.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Michael McGee for some time now. I’m a recovering heroin addict and an ex-convict, and thanks to Suboxone, along with Dr. McGee’s guidance and wisdom, I’ve been clean for a while. He is incredibly knowledgeable in the field of addiction, and without him and his program, I don’t know where I would be today. I’m a 37-year-old man, married with two beautiful daughters. I have a steady job that I show up to every day, and I provide for my family. Now that I’m clean, I feel I am a better father, husband, son, and friend. Thank you, Dr. McGee, for helping me become a better man.

I have been a patient of Dr. McGee for over five years, and he has become my most trusted physician. I started seeing him at the lowest point of my life, when I was close to losing everything that was important to me. He has helped me navigate several mental health challenges, showing just the right balance of compassion while holding me accountable. There is no way I could have achieved the level of recovery I have without his guidance. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.

I am writing on behalf of Dr. Michael McGee. I started seeing Dr. McGee in March of 2014 when I was struggling with prescription pain medication and realized it was negatively affecting my life. From the very beginning, Dr. McGee offered excellent advice and connected me with a therapist to help me face my challenges. He has become not just my doctor, but someone who truly cares about my recovery. It has been over 21 months, and things are going great. I would recommend him to both family members and friends who need help.
I hope this testimonial helps someone who is ready to make a change.
Thank you, J.G.

I have been seeing Dr. McGee for over 10 years—not continuously, but my first meeting with him was when I was 21. I was young, scared, and in serious trouble. Dr. McGee was incredibly understanding and easy to talk to. With his guidance, I was able to wean off Suboxone within about a year and a half. Like many addicts, I relapsed and went through several difficult years before I reached back out to him. When I finally decided I was ready, Dr. McGee welcomed me back without hesitation. It has now been about four years, and I am still working with him. Dr. McGee is a remarkable doctor. He encourages me, supports me through any challenges, and has helped me become clean, sober, and happy. I owe so much to him for guiding me through some of the toughest times of my life, and I am deeply grateful.

I want to thank you for all the help you’ve given my son! He is happy and successfully completed his first semester at Berklee. He is in a stable relationship, and he and his girlfriend are traveling to NYC from Dec. 30–Jan. 3 for concerts. He is laughing, social, and truly enjoying life.

Dr. McGee has helped me tremendously and is one of the most caring doctors I have ever seen for addiction treatment.

I have been seeing him for several years now, and I would highly recommend Dr. McGee to anyone struggling with addiction.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. McGee’s for about seven years, and I have nothing but positive remarks about his care. He is always quick to respond whenever I need anything, whether it’s completing an insurance prior authorization or providing a letter of recommendation.

Dr. McGee helped me gain the confidence I needed to take control of my life. Working with him has also helped me stay honest and humble.
— M.T.
I have been in therapy for twenty years, but with only two doctors. For nearly fifteen years, Dr. McGee has helped me develop hope, patience, and the ability to accept what we cannot control while working to correct what we can.
His sympathetic ear, remarkable empathy, and occasional tough love have truly made me a happier and kinder person. I never want to stop my journey up the ladder of mental calm, personal discovery, and truth.
— T.S.

Dr. McGee is the best of the best. He genuinely cares about the well-being of his patients and wants to see them succeed. I wish there were more doctors like him, as it would make a huge difference in the fight against the opioid epidemic. If you’re looking for a doctor who takes a true interest in his patients and feels more like a friend than a doctor, Dr. McGee is the one. I would recommend him 10 out of 10 times.

Dear Dr. McGee,
I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for the positive impact you have had on my life. Through your insights, I have learned to be kinder to myself and to others—especially through the book Nonviolent Communication that you recommended. It truly opened my eyes to new ways of thinking and connecting with people.
At 77 years old, I have come a long way in understanding myself and what has shaped who I am. I am now more aware of how certain people and situations can trigger emotions rooted in early childhood experiences, particularly around abandonment and the lack of consistent parenting. I remain committed to recognizing those triggers as I continue my journey.
Your guidance has helped me improve not only my relationship with myself, but also the way I relate to others—with greater patience, compassion, and understanding. You are one of the best psychiatrists I have had the privilege of working with. If you can teach someone like me—an “old dog”—new tricks, I truly believe you can make a profound difference in anyone’s life. I wish you all the best as you move forward into this new chapter. Please know that I remain a loyal and devoted fan, cheering you on every step of the way.
