What Our Patients Say

After breaking my right foot in two places, I was fortunate to be referred to Dr. McGrath by a friend whose daughter had also been under his care. From the very first consultation, I felt reassured and confident in his expertise. In addition to repairing the fractures, Dr. McGrath also addressed a longstanding bunion issue during the same procedure, a comprehensive approach that I truly appreciated. Although I was quite anxious about the surgery (my first since childhood), the care and compassion I received from his entire team made all the difference. Dr. McGrath was outstanding throughout the entire process. He communicated clearly, followed up both before and after the procedure, and genuinely cared about my recovery. Now that my foot is healing, the results are already impressive: minimal scarring, improved function, and an outcome that feels both successful and aesthetically excellent. For anyone facing foot or ankle issues, I can't recommend Dr. McGrath highly enough: he is truly exceptional in every way.

Dr. Ben McGrath is an excellent surgeon. I just wanted to finally take a moment to say THANK YOU. Thank you so much for the exceptional care you've provided throughout my Achilles reconstruction journey. It's been a long road, and I'm still on it, but I've felt completely supported every step of the way. Dr. McGrath has been so honest, patient, and encouraging through this complicated process. I am healing beautifully and I am filled with gratitude! I'm grateful to still be under your care.

Life-changing results after minimally invasive bunion surgery! I recently had a minimally invasive bunion surgery with Dr. McGrath and couldn't be happier with the outcome. The procedure was quick, the recovery time was much faster than I expected, and I barely have any visible scarring. My pain was minimal after the first few days, and I was able to walk comfortably sooner than I imagined. The doctor and staff were extremely professional, caring, and made me feel at ease from start to finish. They explained every step clearly, followed up after surgery, and made sure I was healing properly. My foot looks great, feels great, and I can finally wear shoes I love again without pain. If you've been hesitant about bunion surgery, I highly recommend looking into the minimally invasive option, which made such a difference in my recovery and overall experience.
