Dr. McDermott is an excellent physician and has a great ability to convey medical information in a quick and understandable manner. He repaired my fractured bone via surgery in 2016 and has seen me twice for wrist injuries since then. He is friendly and professional.

I saw dr. McDermott for the 2nd opinion on my hand injuries. He was very diligent, nonjudgmental why I am seeking help again. Listened patiently to my whole story. Upon his knowledgable assessment, correct diagnosis and treatment was established. I am very grateful for his experience and expertise because it helped me to start therapy on time to continue maintaining my independence, and most importantly, keep my hands alive!

Dr. McDermott is the kindest, most knowledgeable, most patient, and most competent doctor I have ever had the pleasure to work with. A year ago, I fell on a paved waking trail, breaking both my arms and requiring wrist surgery. For a year, Dr. McDermott has given me amazing, thoughtful care, and for that, I am immeasurably grateful. His entire team is also wonderful. I highly recommend!

Dr. McDermott and his staff are excellent! They’re very professional, efficient, and courteous. They show an interest in you personally and patiently answer your questions. I’ve found Dr. McDermott to conservatively approach treatment and provide the right amount of care that’s needed.

My hand doctor is the best. He is on schedule or better, he listens to what I have to say and then does his examination and agrees with what I think needs to be done. In 30 years we have never disagreed with each other.
