Dr. Kevin Earl Mclaughlin, MD

Highly Recommend for Narcolepsy

My wife had a very bad infection on her face. This doctor was called from the emergency room to give assistance. The emergency room wanted to admit her to the hospital. This doctor diagnosed her over the phone, the wrong diagnosis by the way.............. and told the emergency room she didn’t need to be admitted. All without ever even seeing an image of the infection. She went to a follow up with this doctor two days later. He was very rude and condescending, got her mixed up with someone else and told her He didn’t know what it was. Luckily the emergency room treated her with antibiotics that covered the real problem. Then he had the nerve to tell her to come back at the end of the week. I will never use this doctor and will tell everyone I can how horrible he is. We have never been treated by anyone in the medical field so unprofessionally.

Dr.Mclauglin takes all the time needed to make sure you understand your condition, what options are available, then goes above and beyond to provide the highest level of surgical care if the condition requires it. It is true that appointments tend to run late in the afternoon, but only because this doctor takes all the time necessary with every patient.

great dr and efficient staff

I've been his patient for 3 years now as I had a medical condition which required monitoring and then a very complex surgical procedure. Every visit has been thorough and my surgery results are absolutely perfect. There have been many appointments where I've had to wait beyond my set appointment time, but this is because he will never cut short an appointment just to hurry. He will take as long as needed to ensure all of my questions are answered, and that all of my medical needs are met.

Decent care but at every appointment so far we have not been seen until well over an hour passed the appointment time.

Dr. McLaughlin is an exceptionally gifted and caring physician.

He may or may not be a good doctor but he has no respect for patients time.

He knows a lot of current literature & studies. He is very busy. He teaches & is in his office part time in Covington. He spends time needed with you. Try to get a early appt. afternoon appt never fails at least 2 hours before leaving that office. Staff doesnt like their job. His treatment plans have worked well. When he's not overwhelmed he is nice, receptive to what's going on, & very helpful. I would recommend him.

Dr. McLaughlin removed my 12 year old daughter's tonsils over the Christmas holidays. She was dreading this operation and thought she would feel miserable the whole break. Dr. McLaughlin was marvelous! She never complained of any pain afterwards--he must have a magic touch! Dr. McLaughlin was very kind and reassuring to her. He was thorough in his examinations and spent a great deal of time with us answering both her questions and mine. He even took the time to call us after we got home to see how she was doing. I would highly recommend Dr. McLaughlin to anyone looking for a physician in this field.

Dr. McLaughlin did an excellent job with my sinus surgery. He explained the procedure to me and my family in detail. He advised me how I could get in touch with him should I have any questions or problems post surgery. I will highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of his kind of services.

While my husband was in the hospital in a drug induced coma and only responded to pain. This doctor was called in to look at an infection from a tooth. While he was examining my husband, my husband was moving his head back and forth, his legs were jerking and respiratory was having to fight him to keep his respirator in place. I asked McLaughlin to wait and let them get him sedated. One nurse said he had orders for morphine. Then McLaughlin said he did not need it, another nurse said behind his back to get it anyway. Before the nurse could get the morphine, McLaughlin pulled my husbands lip up and did at least a 1 1/2 incision with no other pain medication. Later after many meetings with hospital leadership, McLaughlin had to come apoligize for his actions. He made excuses about how busy he is and how he is one of the few ENT that will serve on hospital staff and how he is the only dr that can work on patients whose brain is coming out of their nose. I am glad he thinks so highly of himself because every nurse that I talked to at the hospital about him had a very low opinion of him!!!My hope is that he is able to learn from this that he is not a god and must listen to family members and nurses about the care of a patient.
