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.

If I select zero star I would. My mother is very severe pain with her knee. Her had no accident or injury. It simply began hurting to the point of tears if she even lifted her leg. We went to see Dr. Carr for help. What we got was an arrogant doctor with a god complex. He sat down and only half listened to my mother explain the pain then proceeded to us he already knew what the problem without even examining her knee. He waved his hand at my mother and told her it was the fat pocket and to walk it off. She would be fine. Telling her not once or twice but three times that it was due to her weight and age. When he did finally exam her knee and she explained where it hurt, he told her no then pointed to where it hurt. He could care less. He gave her a shot of steroids and sent her on her way. Well 2 weeks later, still in extreme pain we went to another doctor. Turns out she had edema of the bone, a minor fracture and a torn meniscus. He is a horrible doctor and any worse person. If you

I would not recommend this doctor at all, due to poor outcomes, lack of integration with rehab PT aftercare, and many of the unfavorable responses we received from the doctor. My father is now crippled. I could say much more, but am limiting this review for the sake of HIPAA and possible blowback from the doctor.

I went to Dr. Carr for knee pain. He got comprehensive images and accurately diagnosed the condition. (My primary care physician had misdiagnosed the x-rays he'd taken). Dr Carr was personable, professional and - most important - very effective in treating my condition. Today I returned to get a shot in that knee. We were a half-hour early, but he took us right in and got it taken care of. I left the clinic already feeling much better. While we were there I asked him about joint supplements. His answers were quick, very helpful, and comprehensible to the average citizen. Thank you so much, Dr. Carr!

Dr. Carr has replaced two knees and a hip and repaired a shoulder for me. Everything has gone smoothly and no problems with any of them! He is kind, takes time to listen and is an excellent doctor! I highly recommend him!
