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.

Great experience. Takes time to listen and shows concern and compassion which is hard to find in today's world. Very knowledgeable and if he cannot help you he will find someone who will. His staff is excellent and very friendly. I would highly recommend him to my friends.

I have been a patient of Dr. Carpenter's for quite a few years now, and I have never had a bad experience. From the very first visit I have felt comfortable knowing that Dr. Carpenter is listening to everything I'm telling him about my medical history and concerns I may have. He address any issue right away, and explains everything to me so that I understand. He is very compassionate and takes time with his patients. His staff his very friendly and they all pretty much know me by name before I sign in for my visit. I don't feel like just another patient.

Have been a patient of Dr. Carpenter for over a decade and in that time I have always been treated with compassion and courtesy. He takes time to listen to and answer any questions I may have and addresses any medical needs promptly. He really cares about his patients and the entire staff are considerate and personable. Excellent doctor!
