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.

He's the best!
Had a minor knee issue. Steve and Dr. McCarty took care of it! Sad to see Dr. McCarty retire but best wishes on your retirement!

Best doctor
Dr McCarty is awesome. He is always so happy and upbeat. He is a straight shooter. He explains things very well and then lets his patients decide what course of action they would like to follow. We will always choose Dr McCarty and MOSH for our orthopedic needs.

Dr. did my knee replacement in 2003. I believe he was out of college 8 years. I never had any problems, went through therapy. That replacement has never bothered me! Dr. McCarty is super kind & answers all your questions. Was so pleased with him!

I saw Dr. McCarty today. It is a busy office, but is run like a well-oiled machine—from the front desk, the office assistant who took me back to the room, the x-ray technician and of course, the doctor himself and Steve, his PA. After the xrays, the doctor and Steve, his PA came in. Dr. McCarty is very nice and straight forward. I am 68 years old and have had previous meniscus surgery on both knees. Currently, I am having knee pain and I was hoping to just have the meniscus worked on again.He looked at the xrays and said the dreaded words “bone on bone” —no cartilage left. He gave me a cortisone shot (remarkably not painful—he uses a very small needle and numbs it well) in both my aching knees and said it may work for a while, but ultimate relief would only be found in knee replacements. I like it when it is just spelled right out in a kind way. I was very happy with the visit. Dr. McCarty obviously is an expert in his field. It is a very friendly, professional office.
