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.

I can't be more thankful to Dr. Carr... he has been treating me for many years... patiently listening to my pain.... tried all options to solve my problems, hope there will be more doctors like him. I really hope he will never retire. God bless him always .

Dr. Carr is a true doctor - knowledgeable, patient, pleasant, should be an example for other doctors. He wants his patient to understand the problem and explains in simple terms complicated medical stuff. He is simply the best, and I've seen a lot of doctors!

Dr. Carr was highly recommended by a collegue. It was honestly one of the best experiences I have ever had in a doctor's office. He was able to listen carefully to my concerns since he had a transcriber in the office with us. He came up with a plan for my care that was very helpful. I highly reccomend this office and especially Dr. Carr.

If all doctors were half as good, attentive, knowledgeable, effiicient and humane as Dr. Carr, the world of medecine and more importantly our own world as patients would be a much better place. What also makes Dr. Carr unique is his broad knowledge and his genuine interest in the overall wellbeing of his patients. Lucky to call him my doctor!

Prior to Dr. Carr I had been seen by 3 other GI's with no real diagnosis or treatment. He reviewed my records prior to my appointment and took his time explaining things and asking questions. I never felt rushed and we eventually agreed to a trial of a medication. It was only for a month, but that was the first month is years I've felt almost normal! I'm fighting with my insurance to be able to remain on that med, but at least I have an answer!

E he always takes time to listen to your problems and to figure out a solution. He listens to you he is not just writing on a paper and hurrying to get out the door. He is kind and considerate and takes pride in the way he treats his patients he is one of a kind. I don't think you can find another one like like him

I can't not say anything anymore. Dr. Carr haunts my nightmares even to this day. This drug dealer with a PHD had no intention of treating my disease, but creating a new one. He should not be allowed to prescribe Ativan. He should not have sent me to a pain specialist without actually treating my disease. Its a miracle I am not dead today because of him. I'm glad I found the strength to leave and seek treatment elsewhere with a doctor who helped me get clean and my crohns into remission.

It may take months to get in as a new patient, but you will be blessed. Top in the field yet humble, knows both the best of western and alternative medicine yet not afraid to tell which works best for the problem. He does the homework before you see him, so no wasted time, but you will not be rushed, yet he is still on time. The documention you leave with rivals hospital instructions. The staff is excellent as well. Do not judge by his looks, there is true caring professional inside.

There is no doctor on this planet who cares more about their patients. He always takes extra time to discuss my medical concerns and I never feel rushed. He easy to reach through the St. Jude Patient Portal and also by phone. It has been a true blessing to have him as a gastroenterologist. I wish every doctor was like Dr. Carr.
