Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Horrible--she did nothing

Poor Bedside Manner
I was treated poorly by this doctor in a dismissive manner. They did not care to listen to what I had to say at my in-person appointment. Her poor choice of repetitive phrases threw me into silence. Then, I attempted a second meeting, but she did not attend the telemedicine call after waiting over 20 minutes. I called the office, and the team was as responsive as she was. The medical notes placed in my file showed the poor attention to detail I was given. I did not move forward with this doctor and could not recommend them.

Amazing at what she does!
I was referred to Dr McCarthy. She is a true professional as is everyone on her team. They really care about their patients. Dr. McCarthy is a perfectionist and it shows in her work. I went to her after my mastectomy, I went the option of tissue expander and implant. I was very comfortable with the whole process and very happy with the results. She actually gave me symmetry and my breast matches better now than it did naturally. I have no regrets and if had to do it all over again (praying not) there is t anyone else I would want or choose.

Dr. McCarthy did my reconstruction after a double mastectomy. The results came out beautifully. Had seen another surgeon earlier but that unnamed surgeon had their own ideas about what was best .Dr McCarthy on the other hand listened to what I wanted and showed me how what I wanted would look on me . Her staff has always been kind, thoughtful and professional. When my world was tilted because of cancer and I needed to know that things would be okay . She delivered that assurance. My breast are so beautiful and perky now I call them my 18 year old new sisters, hahaha . That's the best compliment I can possibly give her .

I highly recommend Dr. Colleen McCarthy. I was referred to Dr. McCarthy and cannot speak more highly of her knowledge and expertise. Dr. McCarthy explained all of my options and her recommendations, conducted my surgery, and follow up visits. She is a highly skilled surgeon along with her kind and caring nature and wonderful staff. I highly recommend and trust Dr. McCarthy.
