I have had repeated contacts including colon resection (robotic) and diagnostic colonoscopy- she deserves through all our contacts the highest possible rating a physician can earn! She is excellent at information she provides and is sure that I understand all of it! The surgery was very successful and I am so appreciative of her caring and skillful approach involved! Her follow up shows again her amazing level of caring and professionalism! I would not hesitate to recommend Dr McChesney to others in need of her expertise! She is one of those individuals that ensure the highest level of caring and professionalism in her medical practice! Thank you VUMC for providing patients the opportunity to be attended by physicians like Dr. McChedney!
