BEST manner of any doctor I’ve seen

First of all, I was totally stoked on FINALLY getting a female Orthopedic Surgeon. On top of that, she has the BEST manner of any doctor I’ve seen. She took the time to explain, in detail, what was happening in my knee and how it was going to get fixed. I’m completely confident she will get me back to running in no time.

Absolutely amazing

Dr. McCarthy was absolutely amazing. I actually came up to Reno from the Bay Area because I had heard such great things about ROC. Dr. McCarthy confirmed everything I had heard. I will continue to make the long journey up to ROC for years to come thanks to the amazing service and knowledge.

Huge shoutout to Dr. McCarthy!

Huge shoutout to Dr. McCarthy!! My shoulder is doing great! What a wonderful team I had! I’ll be looking you kids up for the next one! Love and prayer, stay healthy.
