Exceptional
Very smart and explained everything to me very thoroughly.
Very friendly and helpful
Dr. McBeath is absolutely amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. She takes the time to explain my treatment clearly and in great detail, and goes out of her way to answer all my questions. I highly recommend her.
I was most impressed with Dr. McBeath’s care and attention. She assessed my problem AND listened to the story of my thumb and wrist pain. She saw and heard me, Dr. McBeath cared for me as a person and didn’t offer surgery as the first option. She agreed to non-surgical management and further diagnostic evaluation, a motion limiting splint for nighttime, and non-opioid medication management as first steps. As a clinician of 52+ years, I’ll say she is is an outstanding clinician.
