Excellent. I cannot recommend her enough after experience with another ortho surgeon who was A WORLD different. Very knowledgable about the uncommon type of injury that I sustained on my knee and able to get me mentally situated right away. Listened to me, but kept it humorous and light all from pre surgery all through 9 months post op

Dr McCarthy is a great physician. She's taken the time to listen to me and all of my concerns at each appointment, and answered all of my questions in ways that were easy to understand. I'm super happy with my treatment plan, and so glad I picked Dr McCarthy as my orthopedic doctor.
