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.

The best specialty care received in a long time

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

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.

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.

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.

I have several friends who had Dr. McGarvey as their knee replacement surgeon. All of them raved about how fast they recovered and are walking so much better. I had hoped to have him for my surgery. He is personable, explains every thing in detail . Gives you a chance ask questions and is vey kind and caring.

My situation was different because I had plates and screws and both my legs but Dr McGarvey was excellent in answering my questions and letting me know how to move forward with him
