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.

Dr. Carr has been my primary care for 10+ years. She never rushes me through my appointment and is very professional. I appreciate she takes the time to review my lab results and is vigilant about medications prescribed.

Dr. Carr has kept me healthy for almost 9 year!
Dr. Carr is incredible! Not only has she taken great care of my health, but also she is lovely to speak with at every appointment. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care. I highly recommend becoming her patient! She listens intently, understands & is remarkable.

By far, Dr. Kristen Carr is the very best Primary Care Physician I've had in my 69 years. She always has answers to all your questions, provides the correct diagnoses, recommends the proper tests, refers you to the best Specialists and takes the time to listen to your health concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Carr across-the-board for all your medical needs. She is a very pleasant and wonderful person who truly cares about all her patients.

Dr. Carr is the best family care physician I have ever had. She explains things clearly and takes plenty of time with me. Compared to what others have experienced from their doctors, I have never waited very long to see her.

I always take a list of the things I want to address with Dr. Carr. She is patient and always very helpful with addressing each of my needs. She is a very smart doctor, but if she needs to research something she'll do it for me without hesitation. I've been seeing Dr. Carr for 4 years now and I'm very happy she's my Doctor. I recommend her HIGHLY!

I have since moved on from Dr Karr because I found her to be rude and insensitive. Sure she's wonderful as long as you think the same way she does, however if you don't she can't be bothered. I guess I shouldn't be surprised in a medical community that just cashes in and really doesn't care about patients because we are all disposable.

Dr K. Carr is my Primary Doctor for the last 2 years. She is professional, sincere, dedicated in caring about me and my health issues. I want to also thank the entire staff who welcome you and go out of their way to ensure I am quickly taken care of. I sent a request yesterday regarding hard copies of my Lab work and Sandra Godbolt quickly responded and my Lab copies are in the mail. Thanks to a Magnificent Staff. Linda Soeder

My experience was very comfortable with her. I had her for 5 years. I had to come back to Pa. until June of this year. I can't wait to have her again. A family emergency brought me here to Pa. and I am very anxious to return to her. She is very knowledgeable in her practice. Just last month I had recommended someone who lives there to have her! I am very pleased with her and always will be.
