Gary Mccarter's Online Review Report Card

I went to Dr McCarter about 3 years ago for a running injury, or rather my foot hurt so bad I couldn't run at all. I hobbled into his office, and within a 30 minute procedure I was pain free - almost instantly. That's what I like-a doctor who can diagnosis and treat in a short visit. The pain has never come back. I'm bringing my husband in this week because I know from experience that he's good.

Dr. Mc Carter worked on my wife's foot. Don't ask me what he was trying to do. She thought that she had a Morton's Neuroma. He agreed, and recommended that the neuroma be removed. He butchered up her toes, and took out some bones. He took off the pressure boot after only three days post-surgical. Ever since he did that her toes have throbbed and have sharp-pain when the tips are touched. When she complained at the follow-up he was genuinely disinterested. After that, my wife said that she felt intimidated by him. He did not want to discuss the surgery or the fact that the post-surgical pain persisted. Why won't he discuss the results of his surgery? He discharged my wife even though she still was in pain.

Dr. McCarter retired apparently months ago and did not let his patients know. I went in today with my daughter for her appointment only to find out that there was a new Dr. I had never heard of. New staff is worthless and just kept saying, "I don't know" when I asked why no one let me know he had left when I had just talked to them on Wednesday. We left and will not be returning. I am so disappointed that after taking my daughter to Dr. McCater for the past 7 years he could not have communicated he was retiring and sold his practice and there would be a new doctor. Unprofessional to say the least.

Great doctors! Were able to get in same day to see Dr. Haupt! He and Dr. McCarter have great bedside manners. I was so happy they could see both my son for an ingrown toenail and my husband for a steroid shot for gout the same day! My husband was not in pain and finally able to walk. Dr. Haupt teaches at UCI and is very experienced. I am a physician and they are very efficient and charge less than another podiatrist we had gone too that had a lot of 5 star reviews. Don't worry about waits. If a doctor is good, there are always waits! Brought my husband back in for more shots for his gout and Dr. Haupt saved the day again! I am referring all my patients here!!

I have known Dr. McCarter for a long time. He has done two surgeries total, to fix the terrible job another orthopedic surgeon did on my feet. The surgery was a success 10 years ago on my right foot. This week I had surgery on my left foot; one more time Dr. McCarter had to fix the terrible job of the prior orthopedic. Dr. McCarter is not only an excellent surgeon, but he has a very nice personality, very personal, kind, an excellent profesional. Also his office staff are totally professional, kind, willing to help you in anyway you need. Dr. Mccarter and his staff are always ready to answer your questions to make sure you feel comfortable with the whole process. Three years ago, like I haven't had enough issues with all my feet, I broke my right foot. Dr. McCarter took care of me 100%. My husband now recommends Dr. McCarter to his own patients. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. MacArthur is an excellent physician his staff is wonderful he is very good doctor. I would highly recommend him for any foot issues.

I had a tiny painful mass removed from my heel and the Doc did a fabulous job 10 min removed it sewed it up and was good to go two weeks later removed stitches and two weeks after that it was great, no more pain. This is my first experience with Dr Mc Carter but he is truly a professional and knows exactly what he is doing and his assistant Karen is very professional as well extremely awesome at her job. If your feet are a bother go see Mc Carter! Ha ha no joke the very best!

I had a great experience with Dr McCarter. I was very scared as I had been having pain for awhile. He was gentle and caring. The staff was friendly and efficient. I am on the way to recovery.

I wish I could write a review about the competency of the doctor, but unfortunately, I can't get past the front office. I have been experiencing pain, bruising and swelling for almost a month and I thought finally, I can get some relief! Not the case, I was told that the next available appointment isn't until November! Clearly Dr. McCarter is not interested in seeing or caring for, new patients. After reading the previous YELP reviews, I can see that the office staff did me a favor. I too suffer from ankle pain and would be extremely irritated to be told I needed "tape"! I will take my doctor's advice for now and get physical therapy until I can see a competent podiatrist. I will avoid this doctor! Thank you!

Dr. McCarter was fantastic! The office was able to get me in right away on a Monday morning and he immediately identified the issue with my toe. He fixed it, got me a prescription, and sent me on my way in under an hour. His bedside manner was great - very knowledgeable and personable. I don't know what these other reviews are talking about, as I experienced nothing negative during my treatment by Dr. McCarter.
