Patient Satisfaction
Dr. Meighan’s ratings are among the best for Fort Myers Gastroenterologists, receiving more than 4.5 stars on Vitals, Healthgrades and WebMD. Among his highest ratings are his bedside manner, accurate diagnosis and time spent with patient.
On five-star reviewer said “Dr. Meighan is the best doctor I have seen in my entire life. I was a patient of his while he practiced in Connecticut for over 25 years, as I have always had issues with my gastrointestinal system. He is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also very caring and takes the time to explain issues thoroughly. When I was hospitalized for an emergency, he came to see me in the hospital although he was not my attending physician and reassured me. I miss him and he is truly irreplaceable. Florida folks are lucky to have him.”
