About Me
I practice the full spectrum of family medicine including the treatment of children and elderly patients. I place an emphasis on preventative healthcare and chronic disease management. Some of these chronic diseases include conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma and heart failure. I also work as an educator for medical students and family medicine residents.
I strive to provide patient-centered and cost-effective care that is based on the best research evidence available. I believe in individualized healthcare and that a patient’s health can be improved through patient education, partnership and shared decision-making.
I love working at The Ohio State University because we are continually expanding our patient-centered care. The knowledge base and resources here at Ohio State are unmatched by any other institution. In addition, I find it stimulating to have the opportunity to teach students and residents.
In my free time I enjoy relaxing with my family, traveling and enjoying the outdoors.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 12/20/2018, Dr. McConaghy has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
Dr. McConaghy listened carefully and asked pertinent questions.
Quick, efficient, and thorough
Listened & didn't minimize my concerns, responded w/holistic & aggressive treatment.
Good experience both in discussing past care/operations, future needs, medications, followup visits.
Easy to talk to. Very thorough exam. Doctor called and discussed results from test he had ordered 2 days later. That was unexpected but very much appreciated.
he was relaxed and unhurried at the latest part of his day.
Never had and probably never will have a bad experience
The doctor didn't really seem to want to be there. I asked him some questions and got little to no answers.
Excellent; highly professional and friendly.
Listended carefully; seemed very interrested in me and my health
