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.

Fine Dr.
He always asks questions, he listens, responds promptly and appropriately. If I were not moving, I would still be a patient of his.

Confusion Reigns?
I am very disappointed with the lack of compassion and professionalism demonstrated by McCarthy and his staff. My Mother is 83 and in constant, severe pain. For some *unknown* reason, when her prescription refill is DUE, the pharmacy and her charts, etc. say it can't be filled for another week, 10 days, whatever. Each month she is reduced to tears and overwhelming stress in trying to explain over and over again that she's out of her medication. Every. Single. Month. This is not acceptable and I do NOT understand why such a simple issue can't be fixed.

I am a former patient of Dr. McCarthy. I found him to be arrogant, dismissive, and condescending. He spent more time talking about himself and his accomplishements than listening to my health concerns. I was looking for a doctor I could talk to. He wasn't right for me.

Very hard to schedule, especially sick visits. Pompous and aggressive attitude towards women. Do not question his decisions. Has missed pneumonia amongst other things. Do not subject yourself to such a mean spirited man.

He doesn’t listen to what you have to say, thinks you are a fool, and his ego always will know better than your body. I have seen him for years and only go when it is a necessity. He has misdiagnosed on multiple occasions, twice resulting in hospital visits. I should have dropped seeing him a long time ago. Do yourself a favor, find a different physician. He is more concerned with teaching new doctors his bad practice than actually being a doctor. I feel bad for the students.

Dr McCarthy operates under the assumption that all his patients are fools. His mannerisms, maturity, and personality are odd and distracting. Why do people like this become doctors?

John in Martinsburg, WV – Apr 05, 2017

As a former patient of Dr. McCarthy, I must conclude that his skill set & practice is not what most folks truly expect — or deserve. His transparent attitude subsides relatively quickly and is fast-tracked by a miserly contemptuous mood that seems distracted by profits and office politics than the general well-being of patients. Beware of the phony empathy of this man. After just a few visits, I found his overall character to be deeply troubled and artificial. Physician, please heal thyself.

Dr. Ryan has the best bedside manner I've ever seen in a doctor. He is also very honest and upfront with his patients. When he walks into the room my mom just lightens up. I am not one of his patients but I have sat in on many appointments with him and my mother.

I really wonder if he is a dr. The whole time you are in the room with him he is typing on his computer. Asks questions but just types away. This is rude and very suspect. You never sit on the table to be examined in any way. He keeps on on the chair next to the computer. I agree with the other people rate him on care of the patient. He made my husband "earn" an xray when his elbow was in terrible pain. Once my husband "earned" his crazy we found out he had a chipped elbow.

Dr. McCarthy has no sympathy for the patient. My father has ALS which lead him to receive a tracheostomy (my father's personal decision); Dr. M has been useless since this point. He is very short with explanation, he doesn't care to be kind at taking care for patients, he takes weeks to respond to patient needs, and his own staff agrees when a patient's family complains. He does not care for happiness of a person, not even their general comfort. He is Disgusting.

He is not a good patient advocate. He Bills to suit his own ego and not the needs of the patient or insurance coverage. Not that his coding is wrong, but with several options, he could legitimately bill to better serve the financial needs of the patient, especially since it doesn't impact his billing and collections, but that of lab work and other tests.

He was very quick about getting me admitted on a weekend for a small bowell obstruction. The care was grade a+ while inpatient and during discharge process. He also takes care of my teenage daughter and really spends time with her using a wholistic approach.
