McCarthy Stuart, MD

Nice staff and location. Dr McCarthy cleared up my sinus infection so I got exactly what I was looking for without any hassle whatsoever. Highly recommended.

Dr. Stuart McCarthy is the best ENT I have ever seen. I trust him implicitly. He did my surgery for a deviated septum, and I was terrifically pleased with the results. He is the ultimate caring professional. His advice is always extremely helpful. I would recommend him to all of my friends and anyone who asks about him!

Okay, I had to wait 90 minutes past my appointment time, before being taken from the waiting room to an exam room. Then another 10 minutes in the exam room waiting for the Doctor. Front desk staff really had nothing to say to me when I complained about the excessive wait. In fact, it seemed as if my quiet questioning simply was an irritation. Obviously they’ve either grown used to people like me, or they simply don’t care.
So, the Doc finally comes in. He is super friendly, takes tons of time with me, answers my questions and is very thorough. I really really want to be mad at him for making me wait, but his medical care (which is why I’m there in the first place, after all) is so good that I cannot be. Dang.
At end of appointment I tell him about my excessive wait. And he replies, very calmly and honestly — «Get used to it, it is going to get worse and worse and worse.» I say, ‘because of Obamacare?’ And he nods affirmatively.
Now I can’t be mad at him. Double dang.
That being said, I still think that his office could do a better job of scheduling, and based upon other reviews here on Unilocal,I’m not the only one who feels this way.
C’mon Doc — you are a great Doctor, now become a great businessman.

Today is the one year anniversary of having my tonsils and adnoids removed and I have to say it was the best recommendation I have ever taken.
I had been having chronic swollen to tonsils since I was kid and finally my normal doctor sent me to see Dr. McCarthy.
After doing my research, I knew that as an adult I would have a much longer and painful healing process than I would if I was a kid. Dr. McCarthy and his team made sure I was mentally prepared and made suggestions on how to make everything as seamless as possible. Dana was very sweet and took all of my after surgery phone calls, even though some of them were silly.
Did it take forever to get a doctor’s appointment? Sure. Even longer to get a surgery date? Absolutely. But I still wouldn’t have chosen anyone else to preform my surgery.

If you need to be seen right away you shouldn’t go here. They ask me to be here 15 mins early and then i still waited an hour and a half after my appointment time just to be called in. Then waited another 30 mins in the room waiting for Dr. McCarthy. The worst part is when i asked what was taking so long, i received a huge attitude as if i was in the wrong. Worst doctors office i have ever been to.

Ive been eagerly waiting to see the Dr to see what has been causing all my pain since it took them forever just to get me in. My appointment was at 4:15 today and I just literally just got out of the office and its now 6:38pm. I waited more than two hours to be seen and the whole appointment took a Lil under 5 minutes. Worse experience at a «specialist» office ever. Not to mention the fact that they wanted to charge me a $ 40 copay when in reality its $ 10. Serious? The Dr wasn’t bad but not what I expected. I refuse to go there again its ridiculous how long they take and how unprofessional they can be. The ONLY bright side of this mayhem was the receptionist that was really nice and professional. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get her name. All in all not a great experience. I suggest you really do your homework before you end up here.

Dr. McCarthy recommended a turbinate reduction and deviated septum surgery to fix my problem breathing through my nose and from start to finish his care was outstanding. He took the time to put me at ease about the surgery, explained everything in detail, and I can breathe clearly now, which is an amazing feeling.
Dana (the nurse) is also professional and highly courteous.
Definitely one of the best, if not the best, ENTs in Southern California. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

The best ENT in the area. Dr. is very knowledgable, clinic is well equipped, staff is nice and welcoming.
