Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent neurosurgeon
I saw Dr. McNulty for an emergecny. I had seriously damaged my cervical spine. When my PCP saw the MRI he contacted Dr. McNulty. Dr. McNulty set up a surgical team. I had an anterior cervical discectomy with fusion at C4-C5. Bone from my hip was used to fill in for the missing disc. Dr. McNulty was supportive and calming. The surgery was successfu for my neck and my hip. It was easy dealing with Dr. McNulty. He was considerate and answered my questions honestly. I've since seen Dr.McNulty for other problems with my spine. He has been professional and helpful in assessing my issues and helping me decide on the best course of action. I highly recommend him. He is an extremely competent nerosurgeon.

I just had major surgery last week, Dr McNaulty removed a brain tumor. What an amazing dr, very caring, knowledgeable, attentive and readily available to his patients. He was with me every step of the way. When I was in the ICU unit in Vassar. He was there every morning to see me, which was nice since with all the covid restrictions in place my husband was not allowed to visit, but, Dr McNaulty was there and after every visit he personally called my husband and gave him reports. He also make several calls during the day checking up on me. He was available to us both at any time. I would highly recommend him

told me the source of my back pain was in my hips. It was later determined by another surgeon to actually be a bulging disc.

Dr. McNulty used another patient's medical history in my file and has refused even with assistance from the NYS Dept of Health to amend my file and to include my refute letters in my file as per NYS Law. While his inclusion of another patients records 'may' have been a 'mistake' his repeated refusal to rectify the situation as per law by my request and then by NYS Dept of Health has been completely unacceptable and without merit. All requests by myself and NYS remain ignored.

Dr. McNulty was my second opinion for lumbar decompression. Unlike my experience with another Dr., he took the time to explain my options, his recommendation, and prognosis. I immediately felt comfortable with him and confident in his level of expertise as a seasoned surgeon. My surgery was flawless and I was relieved of pain immediately.

Dr. McNulty met me at the hospital the first time I met him. I was in very serious condition. I needed two complex spine surgeries. There is no doubt he saved my life.
