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.

I paid for rhinoplasty where I stated multiple times that I wanted to lower my bridge/profile so my nose would not appear so large. Dr. Carpin suggested that I also fix a deviated septum due to my nose curving to the right and she wanted to add a lift to the tip. When I came out of surgery I was in excruciating pain in the nose area but was confused as to why I had no bruising around the eyes. She stated that she did measurements using photos the night before surgery on my nose to face ratio and concluded that it was HER belief that my profile was fine for my face, all she did was cut cartilage inside the tip. She did not mention this at all in the months leading up to surgery. She did not touch the bridge at all, which is the only reason I wanted the procedure. The cartilage that she did work on in the tip of my nose did not lift, in fact, it dropped which created an unattractive hump in my nose that was not there before and my columella hangs. The deviated septum remains the same. I told her was not happy with my results at every follow up and she kept insisting it was just swelling. After I was completely healed she admitted that the work she intended to do did not come out like she had hoped and offered a recommendation to a different doctor. She did nothing to compensate for making my nose appear worse that what it did when I went in for a consultation.

Dr. Carpin truly improved my life. Due to an acute medical condition that required many surgeries on my outer thigh, I was left with a gaping, open wound that would not close. Dr. Carpin amazingly put it back together doing what others could not. Her skills, talent and experience not only made me feel whole again but also allowed me to be completely functional. I am very thankful to her.

Dr. Carpin is the absolute best. She is so caring and listens to every concern and worry you have. I was very nervous going in and she made me feel so at ease throughout the entire process. I am absolutely in love with my results and wouldn't trust anyone else. She is phenomenal !

I had a tummy tuck and liposuction with Dr Carpin. She was very thorough as well as kind. My surgery went so well and I LOVE the results. She did a phenomenal job! I will definitely be going back to her for more procedures.

Yes, I would recommend Dr. Carpin to my family & friends. She is extremely personable & kind. Her explanations & recommendations are comprehensible. I had a bilateral mastectomy & waited one year for my reconstruction. My choice was not necessarily what she'd had chosen, but she did comply with my wishes.

Highly recommended. After a trauma (broken nose), Dr. Carpin visited me in the hospital. I was immediately impressed by both her professional approach and bedside manner. At an office visit a few days later, she confirmed my initial impression: we had a thorough discussion of my condition, possible solutions and attendant risks and outcomes. She explained what could be done, but left the decision with me after providing me a lot of information. She also came in after hours when I needed help.
