Rick is a caring and expert health professional. His care is a big part of my healthy lifestyle.

I finally found a great chiropractor here in Rancho Santa Margarita that takes my insurance as well! Nice interior facilities and Rick is super friendly and has super strong thumbs! He's been very flexible about taking me earlier than the scheduled times and has great communication. I've had to crack my neck almost daily before but I feel so much better so far and I trust Rick into making me feel better. read more

I'm extremely impressed! I had my first visit with Dr. McCarthy today. He's both professional and kind. He listened to my concerns. He spent substantial time doing acupressure with his strong thumbs on my aching hip and shoulder areas. I feel wonderful now! He has the knowledge and skill to identify the pressure points and release the knots. Most importantly, he truly cares about healing you by taking the proper time to do so. His online booking system is easy and efficient, he's in my health plan network, and he's close to home. I feel very blessed to have found him. read more

I've been seeing Dr. McCarthy for a few weeks and I have had so much improvement. He is even treating my "tennis elbow" although I don't play tennis he knew exactly what to do. I have improvements from even his adjustments to my back. He is friendly, knowledgeable and he listens to your concerns and definitely takes his time with you. The office has a great online scheduler, you get confirmation emails, and even text messages an hour before your appointment, that is greatly appreciated. His office is nestled into a nice spacious center that offers personal training as well. Everyone there seems really helpful. I would highly recommend his services for any of your chiropractic needs. You will Not be disappointed. I am so glad I found this office! read more

I really like Dr. McCarthy! I've had neck/back issues for years from sitting at a desk and office stress, etc. Dr. McCarthy has done a great job in helping me to minimize my pain/discomfort and increase my movement. read more

This is the chiropractor you want to see! I have been experiencing lower back pain and knew I needed help. Rick was recommended by friends and I am so grateful for the wonderful referral. McCarthy chiropractic has a great online scheduler which was very convenient to book my first appointment. Rick is very down to earth and personable. He asked about my issues/ concerns and then provided treatment accordingly. Great first visit and I loved that Rick said he he would only book appointments as needed and did not try to get me to sign up for routine visits . read more

The doctor is very caring and can treat patients for what they need along with the physical therapy to support his treatment. But him excepting Medicare is allowing me to get the treatment that's necessary. read more

I have been seeing Dr McCarthy for quite a few months . I suffer from lupus and fibromyalgia. I have had a HUGE improvement ! I have been suffering for years and he has helped me improve my life . I'm very grateful . read more

Dr. McCarthy is a master of his craft. He was able to slot me in on short notice and put my spine back in order--thanks!

I had neck pain for a couple months. Tried another chiropractor and they didn't help at all. Went to see Dr Rick and he had me feeling better within a week! Highly recommend him. read more

I've been seeing Dr. McCarthy for a few months. I don't have coverage through my insurance and was worried that treatments for some pain I was having in my lower back would be very expensive. Turns out, everything was really reasonable and I was able to talk to him directly when I called with questions before scheduling an appointment. He is super personable and I've always felt very comfortable. He even started helping with some pain in my wrist when I brought it up during an appointment, and has really helped me with that as well! read more

Dr. Rick is as good as it gets! I've seen him personally several times but recently trusted my 14 year old with his care as well. He takes his time, he listens, talks and genuinely cares! His online system is very easy to use, links right up to my calendar and gives his availability! I could go on and on, save yourself pain and book him now! read more

Like it says here "Woohoo! As good as it gets!" I just finished appointment #7 with Dr. McCarthy, I had chronic neck issues (yes, had, thanks Doc!) and a lower back pain issue which has now been cured. It was clear from day - 1 he knows his stuff, takes his time and loves what he does... Today, the range of motion I now have in my neck (I played sports my entire life, many contact sports) has improved significantly, and so I'm following the Doc's advice and I will be keeping the appointment schedule going. Also, as a golfer, my swing is better, and my score is literally lower because my flexibility is improving. Anyone who golfs, and North of 25 years old really needs to call this guy! I can't say enough good things about Dr. McCarthy personally... and he has a great sense of humor, he's a proud family guy... which is a super nice bonus in my book. Again, thank you Doc! read more

AMAZING!! This review is months late, but I still need to post this to compliment Dr Rick. I suffer from migraines and hold all my stress in my upper back and shoulders. On a Saturday many months ago, I was in so much pain, I called Dr Rick and he volunteered to meet me at his office. I had never been to a Chiropractor before. Dr Rick took the time to identify where my pain was originating from, and went to work. I walked out of the office in much better shape than I arrived. I continued to visit Dr Rick for several more months. My migraines and stress decreased and I really felt great after each visit. Dr Rick really works to help you feel great. I would have continued seeing him for care, but I moved out of the area. Thank you Dr Rick! read more

Dr. McCarthy has already helped so much and I've only seen him twice! I highly recommend him.

I've seen Dr. McCarthy a few times and I've seen so much improvement. I was skeptical at first but after having my son and doing the "mom carry" I could just feel my hips off. I can instantly feel relief as soon as he does the adjustment to my back and the days to follow are progressively better as well. He makes you feel extremely comfortable and talks you through everything. I would highly recommend Dr. McCarthy! read more

Great chiropractor!! Definitely takes time to make sure you are taken care of. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Mcarthy is very good at this. I've been going to him for a while now every time my back or shoulders are in pain. Highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a good chiropractor. read more

Rick knows his stuff and is very personable. Of the dozen chiropractors I've seen over the years, I would place Rick on the top of the list. read more

Really good dude, went only once because COVID hit, but I was very satisfied with his service.

Two months ago, I had a phone consultation with Dr. McCarthy. He is friendly, knowledgeable, honest and fair in pricing. He has the appointment schedule online, it is very easy and convenient. I wish I live closer to his office location, otherwise I would be going there for adjustment. read more

I recently started visiting Dr McCarthy and I'm very glad I found his practice. He is very professional and very effective at listening to your questions or concerns then providing effective treatment and adjustments. I do a lot of activities that are akward on my back and neck - such as playing golf and walking a big goober dog. I always leave his office feeling like my spine and body are back in a comfortable place. I really appreciate the treatment provided by Dr McCarthy. His appointment system is also easy to use making the whole experience simple. read more

I have been Dr. McCarthy's patient for six months and have noticed considerably less pain and more motion in my neck since beginning treatment. He has a very friendly and open manner that put me at ease with him from day one. My adjustments begin with a massage on the tightest spots between my shoulders. This not only feels awesome, but also seems to make my adjustments more comfortable and productive. He deserves every star in my rating! read more

Dr. McCarthy is great. Very flexible with scheduling and a super nice guy! He gives a little massage before adjustments which is nice and helps the sore muscles. read more

After going to other Chiropractors (5 total), Dr. McCarthy is by far the best one out there! I'm so glad I found him!He is very knowledgeable, educated and isn't pushy about extra services.

Dr McCarthy is the best chiropractor I've ever been to. He really knows how troubleshoot, diagnose and treat. After my second visit already feeling better. I will highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good chiropractor. read more

SO very glad to have found Dr. McCarthy and I recommend him highly! Both my boyfriend and I are new patients with Dr. McCarthy and the experience has been great. Dr. McCarthy is very attentive and knowledgeable along with an awesome personality. I have been having back and shoulder pain for a few years after a car accident and several other injuries. On my very first visit the shoulder pain disappeared along with my mid back pain. I did not expect this much relief in just one session but it happened. I was worried about adding a chiropractor to my regimen of health care would be expensive but Dr. McCarthy is very reasonably priced, especially for the quality of treatment he gives. My boyfriend has insurance and a bit more wear and tear on his back so he has seen the Doctor about four times more than myself.After a couple of visits his range of motion has increased and his pain has significantly decreased. Like I stated he has way more wear and tear so he still need a couple more sessions back to back to get it all aligned. We are proud to be patients of Dr. McCarthy and already have recommended him by word of mouth to a couple of friends. Now here on Yelp, I make a recommendation. I love chiropractic work to maintain health. If you're in pain and before you start taking pain pills go see Dr, McCarthy...you wont regret it!! read more

I have been going to Dr. McCarthy for several years and he has helped end my 30 year battle with migraine headaches through his adjustments. He is always on time and very pleasant. read more

I've been having neck/back issues for the past several years. After getting Xrays from my primary care physician it was apparent that I had some disc problems from earlier sport activities. I had been seeing a local chiropractor until their office no longer accepted my insurance. I read a few positive comments regarding McCarthy Chiropractic and decided to try him. Very thorough with the review of my Xrays and he spent the time to explain what was wrong and what his treatment would be. After 4-5 visits I'm happy to say I feel soo much better and highly recommend his services. Don N. read more

I've seen Dr. McCarthy 4 times now. He goes above and beyond the typical chiropractic adjustment. He considers the whole body, not just the spine. He has massaged knots out of my back and is even working on the chronic muscle tightness in my arms. Fantastic! On top of that, he took the time to answer all my questions and explain what he thinks is causing the problem and how he wanted to treat it. You won't get better treatment anywhere. Highly recommended. read more

If you're looking for a chiropractor, stop looking and go see Dr. McCarthy! He is knowledgeable and a complete pro, and he fixed my lingering back issue with one appointment. I now regularly see him for adjustments. read more
