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.

POST OP CARE
Dr. Carson put a gastric stimulator in and my wound was open for 28 weeks. Each wk he would remove a bandage and say give it more time. After 16 wks he told me he was leaving the practice to go elsewhere and if it still hadnt healed to see 1 of his associates. The next surgeon said that was totally unacceptable because it left me at risk for septis and it was infected already. I was told by the new surgeon and a plastic surgeon that the incision should have never been placed in the crease of my stomache. I had to have 3 more surgeries to fix what he did. Now I have damage to my muscle and nerves and require 2 more surgeries. very disheartened because I had so much faith in him.

I had a great experience with Dr. Carson! I had been really sick for over a year before my meeting him and a lot of the treatment that I had received prior to my surgery did not work, so I had a lot of anxiety going into the surgery and during recovery. Dr. Carson was very patient with that and answered all of my questions and helped me feel at ease

My husband had a very unexpected and serious colorectal emergency. From day one of meeting him in the emergency room he has been consistent, upfront, involved and extremely personable. When he comes in the room he always pulls up a seat and talks not only about your medical concerns but he asks about YOU. I'm so glad he was available to us in our time of need. We still are not out of the woods yet but I feel very confident in his skills, knowledge and judgment. Plus you cant help but to get a kick out of his surgical scrubs and cowboy boots!

Dr. Carson took fantastic care of my beloved uncle when he was in the hospital. He spent a significant amount of time explaining everything to us and was always available when we asked to see him. I don't think we could have asked for a better surgeon.

After saying he had decided to NOT follow the referring doctor's recommendation to perform a procedure, he exhibited no compassion or remorse. He was unable to understand the shock and pain his decision caused me, and left the room without even saying goodbye or good luck.
