TESTIMONIALS

“ Dr. Mulcahey is a fantastic Doctor. I came to her back in April with a torn ACL. She has been not only informative about the injury, the surgery, and the rehab, she was also kind and sensitive knowing I was shocked when she broke the news. She has been an encouragement throughout the rehab process. I would and have recommended Dr. Mulcahey to anyone who needs an orthopedic. As an athlete at heart, I love her attitude especially as a champion for women's athletics in the city!”

“ I am so thankful for Dr. Mulcahey! She is super positive and super caring and super smart. She did a great job on my surgery, and outside of my family, has been my biggest cheerleader in recovery. I have been recommending her to everyone I know.”

“I am a male in my 30s, and a former military/combat veteran who now works in law enforcement. In 2018 and 2019, Dr. Mary Mulcahey performed arthroscopic surgery on both of my shoulders. I had a labral tear in each shoulder that also required a biceps tenodesis to prevent future damage to my shoulders.
Both Surgeries were a complete success.
Dr. Mulcahey was very involved throughout my recovery process. She was conducting regular check-ins with my physical therapist to monitor my progress, and I even saw her a few times in the physical therapy clinic. Above all, she truly cared about me as a person and my recovery.
I have since fully healed in both shoulders and have been able to return to full duties with no limitations. Additionally, I was able to return to my hobbies with no limitations. The only modifications I have had to make involve working out. I had to replace certain exercises with ones that place less stress on the shoulder, and I have built some of the physical therapy exercises into my warm up.
Without hesitation I would recommend Dr. Mulcahey and the Tulane Institute of Sports Medicine. My family and I will go back to see Dr. Mulcahey for any orthopedic needs”

“ Dr. Mulcahey is very thorough I was extremely impressed with her exam, feedback and her spunky and bubbly attitude. Dr. Mulcahey went over and beyond to listen to all my concerns she answered every single question I had recommended a lot of treatments using her expertise. She really cares, some Doctors lose their compassion and treat you like just another patient but not Dr. Mulcahey she really made me feel like I was not only an important patient but I felt like I was the only patient and that is priceless. I highly recommend Dr. Mulcahey to anyone looking for a good Orthopedic Doctor that cares and is going to be honest and also give you the best treatment money can buy. The staff were all very kind and accommodating which is rare in some Doctors Offices they made you wanna come back there. I am looking forward to Dr. Mulcahey being my future Orthopedic Doctor after my two previous visits... Go try Dr. Mulcahey and her team out you won't be disappointed, I definitely wasn't!!!”.”
