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.

Brilliant, Compassionate Physician
My family has been relying on Dr. Carey for close to 15 years. He is hands-down the best doctor I've used in my over 70 years in major cities around the country. Professional, exceptionally competent, thorough and conscientious, he has kept us going in good health and along the way solved more than his fair share of medical mysteries in my family. With a wonderful and attentive staff, my experience in this office is always positive and has earned our undying gratitude and lifelong patients.

I have been seeing Dr. Carey for the past 14+ years. I think he is a great and extremely qualified doctor. His staff is quite skilled, competent and friendly. Hard to believe some of the negative reviews listed. Seems like they went to a different doctor than i went to. I enjoy my visits and being helped by Dr. Carey and his staff. I rate his office with 5 stars!

Way more about making money than caring for patients. Extremely rude. "Forgets" to prescribe medicines and makes you pay for another visit to get them.

After almost 10 years of seeing Dr Carey we will no longer use his practice due to the extreme rudeness and incompetence of his off staff.

I made a serious mistake stopping at this Urgent Care Center and being treated by Doctor Carey who prescribed Cipro for a UTI even though it is not recommended by the FDA as a first course treatment for older women. Had a severe allergic reaction ~ by Monday I was in the Emergency Room and then four days in ICU at the hospital near death from anemia ~ four transfusions of platelets and one of blood brought me slowly back. In my opinion Dr. Carey should find another line of work.

I don't like to ding a professional who doesn't deserve it, but after having nothing but trouble with Dr. Carey and his staff with the simple things, like getting a prescription called in to a pharmacy, I am compelled to do so. He appears competent, but disinterested. Every time I have gone to him I have self diagnosed, and if he disagreed with me I turned out to be right. Staff is pleasant but incompetent. Never follow up with promises to call back.
