Douglas Carpenter's Online Review Report Card

Vert professional, Listens carefully, explains issues very good and takes time to make sure you understand and have no more questions. I've been his patient for many years as well as 5 of my grandchildren. I'm very happy with all services he has provided to me and family. Recommend Dr. Carpenter to several people and will continue to do so!

Excellent physician. Knowledgeable, considerate, and will gladly answer and explain all questions. Has been my choice for the past 30 years. My children loved going to him even as youngsters.

Dr. Carpenter is extremely knowledgeable and informative. I have entrusted him with my family's health for 10 years. He will tell it to you exactly how it is.

All information available, including from my insurance provider, indicated he is taking new patients. When I called to arrange an appointment and said I was a new patient, I was asked for my full Social Security number instead of other basic information and insurance information. When I declined and suggested I give my SS number when I arrive for my appointment, only then did the person say that he is not taking new patients. When I suggested correcting the inaccurate information about taking new patients that existed in various places in order to respect the time of everyone involved, she appeared disinterested and rushed off the phone.

He is awesome with child patients!

Dr Carpenter has cared for my family for almost 20 years. He is always professional and thorough in treating any illness that we've had. My wife's illness has been difficult and severe and Dr Carpenter has always provided good advice and treatment pans for her. I highly recommend Dr Carpenter to you and your family.

Dr. Carpenter did not take the pain in my arm seriously. He told me an X-Ray wasn't needed and that I needed to continue to exercise it. It turns out I learned over a year later when it still wasn't better that my scaphoid bone was broken and never healed due to low blood flow in that area.

I'm only reviewing the doctor, not his nurse nor his desk staff. I've been seeing Dr. Carpenter for about 4 years. This doctor is absolutely wonderfu!! I couldn't ask for a better doctor and I'm so thankful for him. He's very knowledgeable and courtous and kind. He explains things in language I understand. He takes time to LISTEN to what I'm saying. I can't say enough good things about him. If he stops taking my insurance I will change insurance to stay with him. I can't say this about any other doctor that I've ever seen except one and he is retired. My praises don't come easy, they must be earned. Trust me, Dr. Carpenter is one of the best.

First, I must comment on the professionalism and caring manner of this physician. Absolutely NO complaints in regards to the ability of this fine physician. My complaint: HIS NURSE! She is degrading in manner, rude, and does NOT follow up as she should. This woman is EVIL. period. I was impressed with the care Dr. Carpenter gave to my wife, but, after countless encounters with his "nurse" (she has no certification or licensure, just a girl off the streets he has trained) we were forced to change to a different M.D. Think about it; your interaction with the doctor is not that lengthy. Every patient needs to be confident that their needs are being addressed and relayed to the doctor. Unfortunately, this never happened. The "nurse" would take it upon herself to "forget" my calls and requests for help (my wife is a very ill person) and even at times, would HANG UP on me while I was asking her questions over the phone!! TRUST ME..this is WIDELY known by the community, THIS PLACE IS NOTORIOUS FOR A RUDE OFFICE STAFF, but this girl takes the cake. As of now, we are seeing another doctor and are very happy with the switch.

Unfortunately, a doctor (& his nurse) cannot control the staff that makes the appointments or takes care of the business end of a medical practice. Dr. Carpenter is a wonderful family doctor that feels like part of your family.
