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.

Hope in Harrisburg, PA – Jun 06, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Carman Jr?
A litany of mistakes were made during surgery, including the inability to recognize life-threatening warning signs, which required multiple follow-up surgeries. Eventually had to go to the emergency department of another health system and was immediately rushed to surgery to redo his procedure. This is after he operated multiple times to correct his initial surgery.

Dr. Carman removed my gallbladder and nicked my bile duct. That caused immense pain and 8 days in the hospital where I nearly died. He never came to see me or called to discuss it with me. Instead he sent a colleague to manage my health while he secretly made all of the decisions during my 8 day hospital stay. He didn't care that he botched my surgery. He never bothered to even ask how I was or explain what happened.
