Been seeing Dr McCarthy over the years for various foot issues. Always a great experience. He always makes the effort to utilize the least invasive treatments until the simple treatments are exhausted. He spends time discussing issues and solutions and makes sure you are comfortable with treatment. I highly recommend!

Dr. McCarthy is a great listener and the only one who was able to diagnose me. He offered me non-surgical treatment plan because I did not want surgery.

I have been seeing Dr. McCarthy on a quarterly basis since the beginning of 2020, including the pandemic. Did a great early diagnosis of my pediatric problems, and has done a great job maintaining the health of my feet, including nail, callous, and skin maintenance, and has recommended vitamin and skin care home treatments, He has a practical answer to all of my questions, and steers me away from trendy things I read elsewhere promising miracle cures. I'm very pleased with the care provided by Dr. McCarthy!

Dr McCarthy is excellent. My daughter has seen him a number of times for sports related foot injuries over the years. He's been excellent about follow-up, which is getting more rare in the medical field. Overall, a great place to go with any foot issues.
