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.

Skilled surgeon
Dr W. Carnahan is a skilled surgeon and provided great direction for the followup care for my husband.

Zero empathy to my elderly father
My father waited over 24 hour for Dr Carnahan to see him. He was short and disrespectful to my 83 year old dad who has been hospitalized for over a week. He spent two minutes examining him and walked out of the room without explaining the next steps or telling my dad what was wrong. Even the nurse on staff apologized for the Doctors behavior and lack of compassion. I only hope that Karma reciprocates.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Carnahan. I have used him for 3 hernia repairs 3 years ago and just last week he repaired my colon. This man basically saved my life and I am eternally grateful for that. Truly a highly-skilled surgeon. Doctor Carnahan is tops in my book. Who's the man? Dr Carnahan!

My primary physician referred me to Dr. Carnahan after I was diagnosed with a double inguinal hernia. The office staff was friendly and walked me through all the insurance and hospital information. Doctor Carnahan is a soft spoken, efficient surgeon and didn't gloss over the procedure or what I might expect post surgery. We scheduled the procedure exactly one week after the initial office visit. Two weeks after surgery I feel great and would highly recommend him for any general surgery.
