My experience end to end with Dr McCarthy, her team and HSS was amazing. She was clear in her explanations, responsive to questions and helpful when I needed to schedule appointments with partnering practitioners (eg for imaging or a brace). She gave personalized recommendations for my surgery as well as pre-op preparation and post-op therapy. The surgery was successful - and my scars are unbelievably small! I was given helpful information to prepare me for surgery and pain management was very good. I have only good things t... read more

I saw Dr. McCarthy and her team for an emergency meniscus surgey in September of this year. I had previously torn the meniscus and ACL of that knee, and reinjured it 5 years later with a bucket handle meniscus tear the second time around. Dr. McCarthy and her team were insanely fast getting me in to start care, efficient throughout, clear with instructions (and made sure I had them written and digitally before the surgery), provided a ton of resources, and were all super respectful and friendly. I felt very safe and clear ab... read more

Dr Mccarthy is excellent in every way- she has a great bedside manner and is great with teens. She took as much time as we needed to answer questions and we had excellent surgical outcome! Would highly recommend HSS and Dr Mcarthy. Her PA is awesome as well!

She is very knowledgeable, takes the time to explain all the options, and has wonderful staff who return phone calls and emails quickly. She stays focused on the patient's best interests.

I had ACL surgery with a meniscus repair. Dr. McCarthy was incredibly thorough and explained everything so well. She doesn’t rush you in and out and is happy to answer any questions and help you understand the details regarding your injury and the details on what will be done during surgery as well as post surgery. I had a great experience! I’m recovering really well and I think a lot of that has to do with her expertise and how much she cares for her patients.

Dr McCarthy fixed my ACL after my 54th birthday. The first doctor I saw said most folks my age don't get it fixed, and mildly discouraged me. Dr. McCarthy made sure she understood my goals, was extremely honest, and took as much time as I needed to discuss at each step. She listens well, radiates confidence, and has a dry but comforting sense of humor. 6 months out, I'm day-hiking 5 miles and feeling great. Recovery far less painful than repair to my other knee 14 years ago. A total pro.

Dr. Moira McCarthy is perhaps one of the best orthopedic sports specialists in NYC. She puts the interests of the patient first, listens and explains all of the options. She is a smart, impressive doctor and exudes a confidence in her diagnosis that is reassuring to the patient. Dr. McCarthy performed surgery on my 72 yr old left knee to repair two meniscus tears. The pain was immediately gone and while I have some OA issues, I have been back on the tennis courts. Dr. McCarthy knows knees!

A unique experience. Dr McCarthy was thorough, detailed and explained something twice when she wasn't sure I understood. She did not jump straight into a surgery like the first doctor I saw and she actually looked into my MRI - she didn't just read the MRI report. She explained that my pain does not seem to come from a minor meniscus tear but from a swelling that may have a different cause or may go away with some anti-inflammatory.
