I have been going to Dr McCarty since 1981, after I hurt my back as a nurse. After 18 months of excruciating back pain, cortisone injections, nonstop pain medicine and muscle relaxers, he was able to get my back to quit spasming and stop the sciatic pain in both of my legs. (One MD even told me to "get used to it. I would have to live like this the rest of my life.") I was referred to him by a fellow nurse and can say without exception that he is one of the best general practice doctors in the valley. He is also superb at osteopathic manipulation. He will sit and LISTEN to what I have to say and refers patient out to other doctors when necessary. His staff have been with him for many years, a rare thing with most physicians. He still sees his elderly patients at HOME!!! It has been a rare privileged to know this doctor.
