Dr. McCarthy, is absolutely amazing! She's honest, kind, and thorough. She has always been since I have been her patient, she talks through all options with me, and she makes sure you know all that is going on with medications, possible surgery all details, she is the best!

Reno Orthopedic Center is a well-run practice. Dr. Meagan McCatty is one of the best providers I have ever seen. I had imaging just before my visit and she went over every bit of it, even explaining and recommending bone health management. She provided me exercises and follow up plan. I would 100% recommend Dr McCarthy to everyone. I adore her compassion, care, and humor and I’m an RN so I know a great Doc. Thank you Dr. McCarthy!
