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.

Recently, I had to have gall bladder surgery. Dr. Carpenter was very informative pre-surgery about what he was going to do. He has been extremely helpful post-surgery as well. He has taken the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. I would recommend him as a surgeon. His office staff is professional and caring as well!

From start to completion of surgery everything went great. Dr. Carpenter prepared me for what would happen to how to take care of myself following the procedure. I had a concern soon after surgery and he call me right back and eased my mind. He takes all the time you need to understand everything that is going to happen. Two week follow up went the same. Gave me all the time and answered all my questions. I would definitely go back to Dr. Carpenter

Dr.Carpenter is an awesome doctor. He removed my gallbladder on Jan.31,2030. He has excellent bed side manners. Made sire I knew what was doing to happen in the OR. When I had my follow up visit he recognized my family and talked to them as well ad myself. He answered all questions that we had. He goes beyond his way to make sure you and your family questions are answered. I will and am recommending Dr Carpenter to all my friends and family.

Outpatient surgery for multiple Hernia repair using robotic assist method. Excellent treatment. Very knowledgeable and courteous. Operation was well explained and went just as expected. Some pain the first day, a little the second day, and very little the third day. I'm 81 and I would definitely recommend this method and doctor to anyone.

Dr. Carpenter is tremendous! He is very knowledgeable, skillful, and personable. In understandable terms he explained my condition (inguinal hernia), the additional side effects I was experiencing, what the surgical procedure would be like, and the recovery spectrum I could expect. It was impressive having a former patient of his come to me in the hospital and tell me how great their experience with him had been. It was also impressive to experience his attentiveness prior to my surgery and to see how much the hospital staff respects him. I am thankful to God for a physician like Dr. Carpenter. His Office staff have also been tremendous and very friendly.

I saw Dr Carpenter for a navel hernia. He thoroughly explained what needed to be done. He performed outpatient surgery in the morning, and I was home before noon. The surgery was robotic resulting in minimal pain after surgery. In fact, the pain after surgery for me was so low the only thing I took for pain was over the counter Advil.
