Dr McLarty was very informative and listened to all of my concerns, gave me options and recommendations. I really appreciated how thorough and realistic she was about the treatment options available. I also appreciate how she discussed standards of care versus alternative management. I felt like she really listened to me.

The doctor was good. She gave me a very good examination which determined I still needed another sonogram before she can do surgery.

I felt Dr McLarty appeared impatient with me for even having a couple simple questions about a procedure and felt like I was treated more like paperwork than a human.

Even though her body language told me that she was under some stress to meet my needs, she was wonderful at asking questions & answering mine. I didn't feel rushed.
