James and his staff are always fantastic! I wish I could see him for all my medical needs. He truly cares about his patients as whole people (mind, body, spirit) rather than a single issue or surgery. I genuinely feel as though he cares more about me as a person than me as a patient, which is so rare to find these days. James is extremely knowledgeable, explains everything, asks if I have questions, lets me play an active role in my care, and always goes above and beyond.

I just moved here last weekend and I went to the emergency room for help. They were extremely helpful and the decision to wait for a specialist on Monday was totally exceptional.

One of the nicest doctors I've ever met. Very kind, courteous, personable, thorough & did NOT rush thorough my visit. Will definitely recommend him. Others could learn a lot from him.

I had an excellent experience with Dr McCarthy. He is such a caring, kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable person. I truly felt that 110% of his attention was focused on me. He was gentle, he explained things thoroughly, and he offered different options while also explaining the implications of each option. I left feeling very taken care of. Thank you Dr McCarthy!

Waited 45 minutes before Dr. McCarthy came into room ... Probably shouldn't schedule him for surgery on the same day of office visits.He was very kind & grateful that we stayed & waited. We were about to leave, though his kindness & concern made up for being so late.
