Very professional and compassionate.
Excellent information and a lot of help to me
Professional, caring, informative.
First visit and I have been to many with this problem and she listened and explained how she could help me. No one else has
I like being under Carrie's care very much. Listens and explains everything and is a nice person.
Very professional, but has a sense of humor too
Very professional-
Carrie is amazing! She’s always friendly and very thorough. She treats her patience with respect no matter what age they are. My dad is 86 years old and actually listens to his concerts. He has a lot of doctors and most don’t.
The best! Listens and helps find a solution (if you need one).
Intelligent, comprehensive, compassionate, professional, but the shot still hurt.
