None. Dr. MacCarthy is always supportive and respectful. We have the highest trust in his care and willingness to discuss our medically complex child's healthcare decisions as there are usually no straightforward answers. We need an advocate in the trenches with us and Dr. MacCarthy has consistently provided that and more to us.
