Fort Collins Primary Care was attractive to Dr. McCarty because of the individualized and personalized patient care he could provide to his patients. "We want people to drive into our parking lot and say, 'this is where MY doctor's office is!' We know our patients well and expect to be available to them to help them with their health-care questions and needs throughout their lifetimes."

Dr. McCarty went to Osteopathic Medical School at the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in Missouri and completed his residency in Portland, Oregon. He chose Osteopathic Family Medicine especially because the central tenet of osteopathic medicine is to consider the patient's mind, body and spirit when developing a treatment plan suited for each individual.
