Dr McCabe saved my life on November 13 1982. I was in the U.S. Army stationed at Ft Polk Louisiana. I was a passenger in a vehicle accident in which 4 of my Army buddies were killed. 2 of us survived. When the ambulance brought me to the hospital just after 1 am Dr McCabe took me right into surgery. After 12 hrs. Dr McCabe repaired both my arms using metal plates and screws in which I still have them in me after 40 years with no issues. My right leg was broke in 3 places and had a 18inch...

I worked with Dr. McCabe in his practice for a year and a half, but more closely as his Medical Assistant while his nurse (Nikki) was out on medical leave. I agree with Nikki, he was by far the best boss, friend, and doctor ever. I watched his compassion and care for his patients each day with amazement. He was a very down-to-earth and kind person. When I left the practice to finish my degree, he gave me words of hope and encouragement. Dr. McCabe will forever live in my heart.

I worked with Dr. McCabe for almost four years. He was by far the most compassionate Doctor you can imagine. I've read all of the entries and I'm touched by all of the kind words. Dr. McCabe's patients were number one to him, no question asked. He was a very modest man however know that he appreciated every compliment, hug, smile, card, and gift that patients would leave for him. It always put a huge smile on his face. I greatly miss Dr. McCabe and not a day goes by that I don't think of him...

It has been several months since Dr McCabe left us. I will never forget what he did for me through his skills as a gifted surgen. I can walk and do things now without pain. I think of him often and how he helped improve my life. He was a kind, gentle soul that really cared about his patients. I don't know what I will do if I have future back problems. I will never trust or have the confidence in another Dr like I had in Dr McCabe. I know that God had a reason for his passing that I will...

He was a gifted surgeon and will be missed by the community.

When my lower back problems started becoming severe, finding Dr. McCabe and receiving his care, treatment, and surgery was an answer to my prayers. He was an exceptional doctor and person, and he was not, nor will be forgotten. I thank God for Dr. McCabe and may God bless him and his family, practice, and all who knew him.
