About Me

Dr. Diana Spahlinger McCarthy’s father was a physician, and after accompanying him to work on Take Your Daughter to Work Day in elementary school, she decided to follow in his footsteps. Dr. Spahlinger McCarthy chose to become an OB/GYN after her labor and delivery rotation at the University of Michigan Medical School.

 “There were so many things that make this specialty appealing, but the most compelling was the relationships that physicians form with their patients,” Dr. Spahlinger McCarthy said. “When a woman chooses an OB/GYN, she isn’t just choosing someone to do her annual exam, she is trusting you to care for her family.”

Dr. Spahlinger McCarthy’s clinical interests include minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, contraceptive management, infertility, management of abnormal bleeding and low and high risk obstetrics.

Outside of work Dr. Spahlinger McCarthy enjoys swimming, cooking, baking, gardening and spending time with her husband. She also enjoys traveling, and while in resident training at Duke University Medical Center, Dr. Spahlinger McCarthy spent six weeks in Tanzania working at the Kilimanjaro Medical Center.

08/03/2023

This was a very difficult appointment for me and I was frustrated with my treatment and course of action up to this point. Meeting with Dr. McCarthy turned my situation around and I felt so much better. She made me feel protected and safe and cared for. She was eager to help me as soon as possible and was able to follow through on that. She took time to listen and relate to me and I’m so grateful to have met with her during one of the worst things I’ve experienced.

Provider care

05/30/2023

Dr. McCarthy was very informative and provided exceptional care!

04/03/2023

I was impressed by my entire experience at WakeMed Obstetrics & Gynecology in Cary. The front desk employee was extremely friendly and welcoming, and checked me in and answered all my questions. My appointment was at 1:00 PM and I believe by 1:02 I was being led back to my exam room. This was my first appointment with Dr. Diane Spahlinger McCarthy and I walked away very impressed. She took the time to get to know me (on a personal and medical level) and answered all of my questions around my medical concerns and priorities. She did not make me feel rushed, and I actually got the feeling that she wanted to be there in the room with me. We came up with next steps together, and I felt like it was a collaborative discussion. I would recommend Dr. Diane Spahlinger McCarthy is anyone!

04/26/2023

I’ve never met a doctor as caring and kind as Dr. McCarthy. I was having a hard and emotional day and she paused to check on me as a human and administer care.

03/16/2023

Dr. McCarthy is excellent. Interaction with the receptionist was extremely limited and not positive.

03/14/2023

Dr. McCarthy is the best!

Dr. McCarthy has been my OBGYN for the past few years now. She was my OB throughout my first pregnancy and birth of my beautiful [ ] daughter. She’s is extremely personable and really puts you at ease. Speaking with her is like spending time with a close friend who also happens to be a medical professional. I cannot speak highly enough about her level of care, expertise and personal attention. Whatever you’re paying this woman- it’s not enough!

02/27/2023

Dr. Spahlinger truly listened and made me feel so much peace and understanding about what was going on with my body. She was positive about reaching my desired outcome and outlined options. I really appreciated her time and the visit.

Kari, my MA, was fantastic-very personable and caring. I appreciated her warm bedside manner and making me feel so at ease.

10/03/2023

The doctor performing and explaining the ultrasound went slow during his exam and walked me through it. He cared about my comfort in a way most people using a speculum do not. I have never had anyone offer to put the speculum in slowly, which is kind of insane if you think about it. Thanks for this basic thoughtful move.

10/24/2023

My encounter with every individual in this practice was excellent!!

10/02/2023

Dr. Spahlinger McCarthy was extremely nice, gentle, kind, understanding and informative.

10/10/2023

The kindness of the Medial Assistant and the doctor was outstanding and very comforting . So appreciated and kind of them.

01/09/2023

Karla was fabulous--very friendly and kind but also professional. Dr. Spahlinger McCarthy was outstanding--she listened carefully and thoughtfully and made me feel as if she had all the time in the world (which I clearly know she did not!). I also felt like a valued person; as an older woman, I have often felt dismissed or rushed by other doctors. However, Dr. Spahlinger McCarthy did not make me feel that I was any less valuable because I was not having a baby.

01/27/2023

Entire staff made me feel comfortable. Excellent experience.

01/23/2023

Dr. McCarthy has always dealt wonderfully with me and all my issues including anxiety.
