• I've seen Dr. Mckool for several years and greatly appreciate her expertise. She often runs behind, but that's the nature of her patience in that she never knows what care a new patient will need or whether a returning patient needs a biopsy or etc., etc. I don't think she's at all inefficient. She just has a lot of patience. So I'm willing to wait a little bit. It wasn't even an hour this time.

• provider rushed through the visit. Felt like a waste of time.

  2025-12-07

• My provider was wonderful. Her care would have been even better and easier for her had the patient table been functioning. The leg extension did not work on the table. In addition the table did not move up and down which made it more difficult for Dr. Mackool to take the biopsy on my lower leg.

  2025-10-29

• [redacted] She spent 5 minutes at the most with me. Last year, she gave me a thorough skin check, even looking in private areas. This year, she glanced at my body & asked if I had any concerns.

  2025-10-13

• I have been seeing Dr. Mackool for a very long time and really do think she is an excellent physician. It's just so difficult to get an appointment with her and she is always so behind. I make an extra effort to be early for all of my medical appointments and it is frustrating to not be shown the same courtesy. I should not have to block 3- 4 hours of my day for a dermatology appointment which is what it often is when I factor in commute time to and from and then the appointment time.

  2025-10-08

• The Nurse was so kind and efficient. She explained in detail how to do my wound care and gave me time to ask questions. And Dr.MacKool is fabulous and such an amazing Doctor.She takes such good care of me and explains everything in detail and helps me understand procedures before doing them and care afterwards. She is truly the best in my book !!

• We are so fortunate having Dr. MacKool as our dermatologist. Not only she continues to take care of me and my daughter all kinds of dermatology issues, she always verifies all of our meds to ensure there is not any conflict among them. Pls note Dr. MacKool is one of the two only physicians who always verify such info. In the past 2 years, she has cured my 'bleeding legs', she takes care of the bruises and off color skin. Her staff always followed up with our progress which is very unusual these days. She didn't hesitate to help my daughter when her head had a bleeding puss even when she was overbooked. MGH is so lucky having such outstanding caring physician like Dr. MacKool. We have recommended her to all of friends. Thank you.
