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.

Very sharp!
He knows his stuff. He knows a lot about a lot of things we chit chat about. He explains everything and is very thorough. Good bedside manner. His nurse Abagail is great.

Best Doctor Ever!
Dr. Robert Carpenter delivered all three of my children. I was a heart patient and I was considered high risk. He was by my side on all three pregnancies and deliveries. He delivered my daughter in December where he had to leave his Christmas party to get to the hospital. He delivered my son on his birthday where he had to leave his birthday celebration to deliver my son. He is totally committed to his patients. Thank you, Dr. Carpenter!

I regret that I went with my OB referral on this one. Parking is an absolute disaster, most of the time self parking is impossible because lot is full. VIP is $10. Carpenter shares tiniest office with two cardiologists. You get your vitals checked in the hallway, literally. Bedside manner is mediocre. He gets very irritable if things are not done the exact way he wants them. Every Visit you have to strip your pants down to your knees which is absolutely unnecessary.

Very knowledgeable doctor! You can tell right away he has passion and loves what he does. He knows what he's talking about and backs up what he says and is direct, but not rude. I can appreciate that in a dr. He doesn't rush with my ultrasounds and answers all my questions in a thorough manner. One of the best doctors I've been to. Will be coming back to him when we are pregnant with our 2nd.
