Dr. McCarthy is Great!

Asked all the right questions.

Dr McCarthy was professional, familiar with my situation, empathetic and insightful in his recommendations. I could not be more pleased with his support.

Everything went great

I have been a patient of Dr McCarthy's for 20 years. I have never spoken on the phone with him. I phoned into my pharmacy a request to have Alprazolam refilled before I go away for several days. He sent the pharmacy a cryptic message saying the request was denied. I have never abused this medication and usually attempt to refill past the date of prescription expiration. Two years ago my husband had a stroke which took his life. While I was caring for him, I asked the doctor to refill my prescription. He would not unless I came in for an exam. I didn't feel comfortable doing that and told him so. He still denied me the prescription. I took care of my husband for a year without any medication to get me through. No compassion there. There are so many more instances of lack of compassion that have taken place -- more than I can list here. I am a senior citizen and this puts more of a burden on me.

Every time I need a new prescription, I call it in and wait several days until it is phoned into my pharmacy. This happens with frequency. Now, instead of contacting the office for a prescription, I was told to call the pharmacy and they would contact the office. This makes the situation worse.

I think he is competent; but, prescription renewals have not been addressed in a timely fashion. It takes sometimes two days to access a prescription for refill. On occasion, the staff has not passed on messages to him. The rules for getting prescriptions, change all the time.

I moved to Warrenton, VA over 10 years ago. When I asked around and did on-line research, I chose Dr. McCarthy based on high ratings. For the last 10 years, I have been extremely pleased with the care that I have gotten. Dr. McCarthy is excellent at know what he can do about a problem. He doesn't play "Let's try this or that." He knows when to send me to a specialist or another Doctor for treatment. This approach has allowed me to get the correct treatment in a timely manner. Dr. McCarthy is an attentive doctor. When he comes in he always shakes hand, asks about family, and general non-medical things that I have shared with him. Makes me feel like he knows me and is interested in me. He provides follow-up on almost all problems that I have had. He has a low key friendly approach. He tells me what he thinks my conditions are and what I should do. Recently, I had a car accident that didn't require medical attention, however, when he found out about it, he let me know… that if I felt I needed to see him, just let him know and he would make time to see me. This was a real comfort to know that he thought of me as a person and not just a patient. I have been extremely pleased with the service that I have received from Dr. Kevin C McCarthy

I had to wait 30 minutes to see him. He rushed me so he never heard all my symptoms. He seems unempathtic for doctor.

Dr. Mccarthy is pleasant, low key and easy to talk to. I think he is very competent, he listens then does his examination and discusses his findings and impression of issues. He either treats your condition or refers you to a specialist as necessary. He is a refreshing change from my previous doctor who was always ready to prescribe more meds. I am very glad I changed doctors and would recommend Dr. McCarthy.
