Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear that Dr Mac passed away. He was a great doctor. He performed surgery on my back several years ago, I never had to back to him and for that I am grateful. Before I went to see him about surgery, I had asked a few people who had had back surgery before, the comments I recieved made me realize that he must be a good doctor and I have to say that he was. Rest in Peace Doctor. The community and the field of medicine has lost a wonderful man and surgeon.My sympathies to all...

My condolences to all of Dr. Mac's family & staff. Dr. Mac was in the business of making the quality of our lives so much better through his expertise of treating our different health problems. It has been a privilege & a honor to know him & to have him for my physician. He was my hero.

My deepest condolences. I knew Mac even before Robert "Mad Dog" was born. I worked in his office for several years and later he was my Dr. When I had breast cancer surgery, his was one of the first faces I saw the day after. I'll miss his wry humor. When I worked in his office, he had an on going chess game with Dr. Ramsey and each of them would call me from time to time to move their chess pieces to keep the game moving. Know that many wish you peace and will remember him well. As time...

My prayers are with Dr. McIlhaney's family and staff. I was not a patient of his very long but was referred to him with Trigeminal Neuralgia. I could not eat, talk or shave without much pain. Medicine worked for a very short span. Then on January 26th 2009 a rhizotomy surgery was done. I no longer have the stabbing pains.

I will miss him. I thought he was prompt and a great guy.

From my days as a nursing student in 1981 to the night shifts as an ICU RN, then years in the OR with Dr. McIlhany, he was always a professional. He was a kind, sharing person and appropriately expected we do our Best for our patients. Personally, when there was nothing more anyone could do for my brother, he was there to calmly and softly support my grieving family.
Know that he touched many lives in such a positive way - I am saddened for your, and everyone's, loss.

We were so shocked to hear of your loss. Dr. "Mac" has taken wonderful care of our twin sons, Jerrod and Nicholas, since their premature birth in 1982. In the past 27 years he has performed numerous surgeries on them to treat their hydrocephalus plus always there for advice on other medical problems. He always met us personally in the ER - no matter what time or holiday. We offer our deepest sympathy and prayers - we will all miss him dearly.
