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.

    Dr Mac had a student following him, he asked if the student could exam me too. That student is lucky to have Dr. Mac mentoring. Hope he learns how to speak to patients, as well as DrMac can. That's what I care about, understanding the info being presented to me. I trust him 100%.

    Had an excellent appointment. The doctor listened carefully and provided answers to my questions and advice. Also allowed a medical student to perform some of the check-up procedures and answer some of my questions after asking my permission, and I was happy to help in the learning experience for the student.

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 11/21/2019, Dr. McConaghy has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
