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 LISTENS! And he is direct with his responses!
This was a follow up after a chest CT scan. The doctor explained the results to my satisfaction.

Dr. McCarthy provided an expert second opinion
Dr. McCarthy started by asking me what I already know. That was effective on so many levels! It immediately allowed him to gauge where I am with this situation. He then gave me insights that were new to me. Dr. McCarthy has a way informing you of things that is factual but is somehow also immensely comforting. Dr. McCarthy provided an expert second opinion that told me the care that I am receiving is a very high level of care and is totally appropriate for my situation. He explained if and when the doctors determine changes are needed, they will consult with me each step of the way. My visit with Dr. McCarthy was excellent in every way.
