The staff at the front desk were very courteous and let me know upfront that because of an emergency, Dr. McGarvey was running behind schedule. The technician and assistants kept the process moving.


May 2, 2025

Listened carefully and responded to all my concerns. Very empathetic.


Apr 30, 2025

Dr. McGarvey is such a kind, caring, and awesome, outstanding doctor. I wouldn't have it no other way for him to do my surgery.


Apr 30, 2025

Caring and very informative.


Apr 30, 2025

Fantastic Could not believe how much was achieved in one visit. Extremely thorough, professional and friendly. That location has fantastic culture, from Dr to receptionist and entire staff in between. I dealt with 6 or 7 people and everyone of them were fantasic.


Apr 30, 2025

Wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you.

It's frustrating how the receptionists and nurses don't make eye contact and don't smile. They look at their screens and charts and never look you in the eye. I also do not like your method of patients signing waivers that we can't even see. This is deceptive.

Dr. William McGarvey, he is the best. He knows what he is doing. He's able to help me with my foot. He did the best he could, and I'm hoping that I'll be able to walk again without pain. Thank you, bye.

Takes the time to listen.

Dr McGarvey has been my Dr for over 18 years and has always managed his office with the best staff. He is always straightforward with how best to meet patients' needs and expectations.


Apr 18, 2025

Very thorough explanation and attentive team. Dr. McGarvey and his team were very professional, listened to every word during the consultation and were very knowledgeable about the subject. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends.


Apr 16, 2025

I trust the doctor and his right hand man


Apr 16, 2025

The best specialty care received in a long time


Apr 16, 2025

I always feel like I can make contact with my care team and get what I need without question.


Apr 15, 2025

Already have recommended Dr. McGarvey to others. I'm happy to have an orthopedist who listened to my concerns and frustrations about my recovery after a surgery last year. I am certainly more confident now that I'll make significant progress to recovery.


Apr 15, 2025

Great people, very caring, considerate and friendly. I hope i don't need y'all again, but if I do, I will be back. Thank you.


Apr 15, 2025

Excellent service.


Apr 15, 2025

The people were very friendly and nice everyone was very good and understand


Apr 11, 2025

The office staff indicated that there would be a 1.5 hour wait for the physician. I waited and saw the physician within an hour of arrival. The physician seemed knowledgeable about orthopedic surgery but not very interested in non-surgical conditions, which I apparently have. I also conveyed past history of my foot pain which was put in the notes differently from what I mentioned during the visit-Pedro Coscuella MD did not offer me orthotics because he said they would not help the foot conditions I have. I did not decline to follow up or decline orthotics. My overall thought is that the office has a lot of nice folks working there, but it appears to be overbooked and somewhat chaotically run.


Apr 9, 2025

The only thing I was upset about was that I did all the work I was supposed to do and then supposed to have surgery, but seems like I don't understand the surgery. It's not, he didn't really discuss it or I don't know how to explain it. That's what, I don't even think I'm going to have the surgery because I don't understand what's going to happen. And being it said that I'm going to maybe likely will have to have my foot amputated and if the incision doesn't heal, well, I don't think I want the surgery.


Apr 9, 2025

I love you UT doctors! Everyone in that group has always been very knowledgeable and attentive.


Apr 9, 2025
