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.

Don't waste your time with Dr. Carroll. He is so outdated as is his office. I felt like I walked into a 1960's dr. office. I had back surgery and same symptoms are coming back. I get woken up in middle of the night with excrutiating pain in my left leg/foot. He told me to live with it. Who treats their patients like this? He's horrible. He would rather you suffer in pain than help. I wouldn't recommend my worst enemy to this man. Time for him to retire.

I highly recommend staying away from Dr. Carol. This guy checked out over 10 years ago and is just there to collect the money. I am a 46-year-old male that was involved in a serious river and collision. I now need back surgery and talk to Carol will not refer me to a neurosurgeon even though my spine specialist is telling me I need one. The last time I saw him about six months ago he diagnosed me with fibromyalgia and chronic pain syndrome. I also have rheumatoid arthritis and degenerative disc disease in my tire spine. He told me that there is nothing he can do for me and for me to just live with the pain and just deal with it. If you are looking for a doctor with and the amount of compassion he is definitely not the doctor to see. Again I have a recommend staying away from this so-called doctor. He’s almost 80 years old and is out of touch with reality.

I have been seeing Dr Carroll for a number of years now. I feel he is caring and very professional. He has always taken great interest in my well being. I would defiantly recommend him. His nurse is also very caring and professional.
