Provider spent initial part of visit establishing rapport. Created positive 'partnership in treatment decision making process.
Dr. Was very attentive
Excelente Doctor
Dr. Kim had clearly gone through all this 1000x before but still managed to remain engaged and his concern was both honest and clear.
Didn't get to ask all questions
The best
Having two providers on a team make information maybe not get delivered as quickly as it should be.
Thus far I have spent less than 15 minutes with the doctor, so it is EXTREMELY difficult to form an opinion as to his "bedside manner".
DR. Kim is a very skilled surgeon and gives illustrative explanations to show potential issues and help you understand
Very detailed about my x-rays and Surgery
Dr. McCarthy listens to his patient's needs and concerns and does a wonderful job explaining options and shows that he truly cares about his patients.
It was a great experience. Everyone was so kind and I appreciate the experience the care team gave me.
Dr Kim is the best. I would highly recommend him for reconstructive surgery.
This is one of the most caring, thorough and nicest doctors I've ever met. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
I am very satisfied with my experience.
Dr. Kim is an excellent physician. I need hand surgery and he is the ONLY one I would go to. He subsequently performed carpal tunnel surgery on my dominant hand and did a masterful job. I trust him implicitly to do my trigger finger surgery. He is a top tier Dr.!
I'm in therapy- mental and physical- due to a MVA- I am in great position to recover My physical and mental health under the care of My coordinated Medical Team!
Very understanding, compassionate and accommodating
Extremely professional and and answered all questions authoritatively
James McCarthy is an amazing provider.
Everybody is so kind and nice I really love that
Again, amazed at how Dr McCarthy explains his procedures and his recommendations.
Dr. McCarthy was great: consoling, kind, very professional. He also explained possible outcomes without alarming me.
Dr and assistant very personable. I enjoyed talking with them.
My Doctor was very friendly, super intelligent & has great social skills.
James treated me and my situation with respect and dignity, and was very clear in communication.
Was on waiting list for surgery but otherwise it turned out ok.
James and his staff are always fantastic! I wish I could see him for all my medical needs. He truly cares about his patients as whole people (mind, body, spirit) rather than a single issue or surgery. I genuinely feel as though he cares more about me as a person than me as a patient, which is so rare to find these days. James is extremely knowledgeable, explains everything, asks if I have questions, lets me play an active role in my care, and always goes above and beyond.
Overall this was a very satisfactory visit. The doctor is very professional and responds very effectively to any questions or concerns that I may have.
I just moved here last weekend and I went to the emergency room for help. They were extremely helpful and the decision to wait for a specialist on Monday was totally exceptional.
Dr macarthy is amazing. I feel very good with him
Had quick and competent surgical procedure. Just sorry it took a long time to get this scheduled
One of the nicest doctors I've ever met. Very kind, courteous, personable, thorough & did NOT rush thorough my visit. Will definitely recommend him. Others could learn a lot from him.
Dr. Kim is a first-class surgeon, and showed great care to ensure I would not have complications from my recent surgery. I really appreciate his surgical skills and the way communicated (he drew clear pictures to help me understand the results I could expect).
James McCarthy was amazing! He took his time and answered all my questions. I loved his calm demeanor and wonderful bedside manner. I wish he could be my primary care physician!
Dr Kim was a very caring and knowledgeable doctor. He did not rush me at all. He explained information very well along with white board graphics.
Saw Dr Kim for reconstructive surgery after upcoming mastectomy.
Dr McCarthy is great. Hopefully I never break another bone but if I do I'd be pleased to see him again.
Doctor was extremely helpful and caring. Was very focused to everything I said and gave me their full attention. I am very happy and comfortable with the care given to me by this doctor.
Dr Kim is thorough, attentive, and professional. I know I made the right decision in choosing Dr Kim. He cares about his patients . He has a good bedside manner and he is approachable. I would highly recommend him.
James McCarthy is the best provider I have ever met. I truly believe he cares about me and my health.
