My ROC appointment with Dr. McCarthy was five stars. At 86 I have knee problems, wanted advice, and did not expect a cure. Dr. McCarthy clearly showed me with well taken X-rays my cartilage was good but recommended physical therapy to help with the arthritis under my kneecaps. She is good!

Amazing staff! My time was respected and my appointment took place at the scheduled time with minimal wait time! Dr. McCarthy was fantastic, and I felt so confident with her assessment of my shoulder. Scheduling was easy, I was able to get in within one week of calling, and I was in and out of my appointment in under an hour. I was overall extremely impressed with my experience at ROC!
