Dr Joan McCarthy is the best!!!
Note: She does not do obstretics so if you're looking for an OB, she is not your lady.
If you want to go in for well women visits and not be abandoned by a nurse on an exam table in a front-opening gown for 30 minutes while you wait for the doctor to come in, then she most definitely is your lady.
As far as I can tell, it's only a receptionist and Dr McCarthy in the office. The last two times, I had the first appt of the day, so the receptionist wasn't there. Dr McCarthy checked me in, then took me immediately back (didn't even have a chance to sit in the waiting room). She does your blood pressure, weight, etc, has a chat with you in her office, then takes you to the exam room to change, comes right back in, completes the exam, and then you meet her back in her office for final discussions.
She is kind, and listens if you have concerns, and makes the whole experience quite enjoyable. I almost wish I had to go more than once a year!
A lot of doctors only call you with the results if something is wrong or abnormal, but Dr McCarthy lets you know either way as soon as your results come back (usually within 2-3 days).
I am so pleased to have found this office and highly recommend it! read more
