Dr. McDaid is an exceptional hand surgeon who combines outstanding skill with genuine compassion and care. I always felt listened to, respected, and truly cared for. I’m incredibly grateful for the excellent care I received and would highly recommend Dr. McDaid to anyone looking for a surgeon who is both talented and compassionate.

Dr McDaid is always patient & informative. Excellent doctor!
Great Doctor!’
The doctor was courteous and professional and I appreciated that he took the time to see me. But I left the appointment feeling that we were talking past each other. It wasn’t that I am opposed to an x-ray, it is more that if an x-ray only points to one diagnosis that doesn’t change the current treatment, why would we not choose a test that answers more questions?
