Dermatology is the branch of medicine dealing with the skin, the largest organ of the body–a specialty with medical, surgical, and cosmetic aspects. A dermatologist is a specialist physician who manages diseases of the skin, hair, and nails due to both internal and external causes and is trained to address cosmetic concerns involving the skin. The practice of dermatology includes diagnosis and management of a variety of skin disorders, rashes, birthmarks, skin cancer screening and treatment, skin infections, cutaneous surgery, and the use of injectables and lasers for skin rejuvenation.
In private practice since 1979, Dr. McCarty attributes his success to taking time to give his full attention to each patient.
Outside of practicing medicine, he enjoys listening to classical music and collecting fountain pens. His favorite places to vacation are in Europe.
