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 have had Dr. Carney as a PCP for about 3 years. I find her very down to earth and easy to talk to. She does not push any medicine or tests unless you are open to them.

Horrific. If you have chronic illness, stay away. And since Dr Carney is not a surgeon, I'm not sure what medicine exactly is being "practiced."

I've had her for 3 or so years and finally am just done. I don't ask for much. But they've known for years I have a psychiatric condition (bipolar 1) and then a nurse practitioner perscribed me a med that is known to trigger manic episodes. Then it did end up triggering a manic episode. After getting out of a one week inpatient visit after a 3 week long manic episode I had a follow up with Dr. Carney. Only did so because the inpatient place made the appointment so I held to it. When meeting with her she acted almost oblivious that her office perscribed a medication KNOWN to trigger mania. Told her the psychiatrist at inpatient care told me that and her response was "oh ok" and moved on. First your office perscribed a medication that triggered mania for 3 weeks and your response is "oh ok?" I bet if she went through a manic episode for three weeks she'd appreciate it's severity. She may have her phd and is intelligent with pediatric knowledge but not Psych.

Terrible. I was involved in a car accident and she basically belittled the pain I had and said it'd heal on its own although I have to go to the chiropractor three times a week for four weeks and then we can see if I can start going less based on where I'm at with my pain. She basically implied my body was bounced around in accident so that's why everything hurts. Ok... I am not just sore. I had a bladder issue and she ignored it because UTI test came negative. No ultra sound, blood work, etc
