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.

Dr. McCarthy stayed late on a Friday afternoon to check on my unexpected eye issue. Though late in the day, I was treated in a professional and kind manner by his office staff, optical technician, and Dr. McCarthy. Sincere thanks for the peace of mind while on a grandparent babysitting visit!

Dr. Timothy McCarthy is such a great doctor. He has always gone out of his way when he has taken care of myself and my husband. On two occasions, he came to the office to see my husband and treat him for a foreign object removal on a Sunday and Thanksgiving day, when the office was obviously closed. He could have easily sent us to the Emergency room but he went out of his way to treat my husband. He is very personable and compassionate. My husband is finally wearing safety glasses on home jobs.
