Dr. McGranahan is a truly extraordinary physician who's knowledge and expertise is only rivaled by the kindness and compassion with which she treats her patients. I am fortunate to have her as my doctor. She takes the time to explain things throughly and in plain terms and she has not only helped me treat and overcome cancer but she has also made a difference in my mental health recovery.
