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.

I saw Dr. McCarthy for the first time today. I like that he still uses charts and can go directly to the information he needs, rather than messing with a computer. I felt I had excellent care, and a game plan as to what would be done for my condition. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. McCarthy to my friends and family.

I have had Dr Mccarthy for a few years now . I had an appointment with him to be seen in June 2017 . I missed the appointment and called several times a day for a few days and did not get to talk to his secretary or him. He stopped my refills 6/5/18 very important medication. Called everyday for a week till finally his secretary answered, she was extremely rude. I asked to speak to the doctor and she put me on hold. She came back to tell me she was going to called within the hour never called bc
