Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Doctor
I developed severe Dupuytren's contracture in my pinky finger. It was so severe that it limited my function on my left hand. Dr. McGrath injected Xiaflex into the cord in multiple places and a week later manipulated the hand and now my finger is straight again! I have full range of motion and am working on strength and stretching. His skills and expertise, as well as his excellent support team, have changed my life for the better. I am extremely grateful. I would highly recommend Dr. McGrath for this non-surgical treatment of Dupuytren's contracture.

Dr McGrath performed a re-repair surgery on a laceration with tendon, nerve and muscle damage on my hand, and 24 hours later, I can already feel my index finger again. I am extremely grateful for his compassion, his skill and the level of communication he has with his patients. I am looking forward to a successful recovery under a competent doctor and physical therapy team with Excelsior Orthopaedics.

Great Doctor! He took the time to listen and work with my shoulder pain which was from a traumatic fall...after following a conservative approach we knew it was time for other measures...the surgery went great and I wouldn’t trust my shoulder with anyone else
