Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Finally an answer
My husband has been to numerous gastroenterologists for stomach issues that significantly impacted the quality of his life. Every one either told him to eat more fiber and sent him on his way, or simply told him there was nothing wrong and then sent him on his way. Enter Dr. Carreira...he didn't quit until he found some answers. (Fiber was the WRONG thing to take, causing him even more pain). His time and diligence in taking my husband seriously and getting answers has given my husband hope for getting his active life back. As well, his demeanor and ease of approach with any questions have been/are so very appreciated! I would highly recommend him to everyone with gastro problems. Thank you, Dr. Carreira!

I highly recommend Dr. Carreira to anyone seeking high-quality medical care! I had an excellent experience during my recent visit with Dr. Carreira. He is very knowledgeable and took the time to listen to all of my concerns. Dr. Carreira explained everything clearly and provided me with a range of treatment options to choose from. I appreciated the way that Dr. Carreira made me feel comfortable and cared for my visit. Thank you!

Dr Carreira is bright caring competent and diligent. My son was diagnosed with IBD indeterminate. I truly appreciate Dr Carreira’s efforts to look at root causes of inflammation, think outside the box, educate us, consider all treatments and best help him. I am very fortunate my son is being treated by Dr. Carriera. I highly recommend him.

I have been seeing Dr. Carreira for 7 or 8 years for IBS and possible inflammatory bowel disease. He is, by far, one of the three best doctors I've ever had in my life (and I've had quite a few). He is patient and kind, listens without interrupting, is never EVER dismissive of my symptoms, and most importantly, knows what he's doing and always has an action plan that doesn't necessarily involve meds. Most other doctors could take a page out of his book!
