Excellent Doctor and team was very helpful and friendly
Dr carrier and his team were very professional. Thanks to them for that.
Dr. Carriere is always great. No long wait times to be seen. When he enters your room, he takes time to make sure you understand what may need to be done and why.
Today the stand out among his support team was Alexis. I have a few procedures coming up and she explained the how & when along with all the joys of prepping for a colonoscopy.
The support team is full of stars. Alexis was my MVP today!
I didn’t leave my appointment feeling nervous, anxious or confused. I left the way we should after any Doctor’s visit.
Calm, informed and prepared for everything that lies ahead.
