Reviews

Excellent
My phone conversation with Dr Carriere was very helpful and pleasant. It was very nice to be able to complete my visit on the phone for my upcoming procedure.
Everyone was so friendly and understandable. I love the new office.
The Doctor and his staff gave my husband a 5 star experience. The staff were friendly and caring. The Doctor explained and discussed and took his time with us to make sure we understood. The staff greeted us coming in and going out. We will be back for me in 2 years and for my husband in 10 years.
