Dr. McCarthy takes the time to fully explain details, and is really appreciated.
I was diagnosed with long cancer and referred to Dr. McCarthy by my Pulmonologist "If I had cancer he is who I would go to". His office called me so we (and my husband) could meet and talk. I really appreciate this. I have another appointment next week where he will give me my treatment plan (he is presenting my case to the board of cancer specialists this Friday so they can come up with the best course of action. I have tremendous faith that I will receive the best care and treatment by a cancer specialist and the team he works with. Considering I have cancer, I consider myself so fortunate. I know this will go well.
