“I try to make my patients laugh.”
— Michael McKay, MD
The Face of Trillium Medical Aesthetics & Gynecology
MICHAEL MCKAY, MD
Michael “Mike” McKay has been a practicing physician in the Gulf Coast area for 31 years. Eight years ago he opened Trillium Medical Aesthetics as physician/owner. In this venture he likes the creativity that’s required to treat each individual’s problem. “Everyone is different and therefore their treatment is individualized,” he says.
He got into this area of practice when two women in one week came in for checkups and asked about the o-shot, which made him look into the shot. He signed up for a course in Fairhope, Alabama, and says the rest is history. “The feeling I get when I help someone overcome a problem and in doing so, make them feel more confident and better about how they look is what inspires me,” he said. “I try to make my patients laugh, breaking the tension in the room, and this makes them feel special. I treat everyone in a manner that I would like to be treated.”
McKay settled in Gulfport after interviewing up and down the Gulf Coast from Mobile to Houston. “I felt that the Gulfport area was the best fit for me and my family,” he says. “I like the people in our community because they’re friendly and help one another, which is not the case in many communities.”
He thinks friends would describe him as fun to be around and always there if they need him. He enjoys golf, fishing and hunting. He has a fiancée, Sheryl Moran, two daughters, Ginger and Katie, a son, Chris, and a grandson, Marshall.
