Let me start by saying that Dr. Carson is retiring in July 2015, so that's the good news. My son had an appointment with his last week and we decided to up the dose of his prescription. He now takes a pill and a half a day of said prescription. Rather than write a prescription for 45 pills (enough to last the entire month), Dr. Carson decided to write 2 separate prescriptions for the same medication. Naturally, insurance companies won't cover that. So I'm left to pay $50 out of pocket when I was paying $0 before. I have called and left several messages, emails, etc. and they refuse to return my calls. He has also always come across as though he has better places to be and he really doesn't know much about the cardiac issues my son has, although he claims to. Thankful he's retiring.

I would NEVER recommend this doctor to anyone. Dr. Carson is completely inadequate! He wasn't friendly at all which was really off-putting. He was extremely rude and impolite. All he did was listen to my daughters heart with the stethescope and told me everything was "ok". What does that mean? To me that means he's too lazy and doesn't care! WHAT KIND OF DOCTOR DOES THAT MAKE HIM? Useless. Then when I asked him if there was anything else he could do like another test, he tells me yes but I will have to wait since it was being used at the time. He starts to walk out saying "Get it while it's free medicine", WTF? I say, "It's not free if I'm paying for it!" What kind of doctor says things like that to a patient that all he or she wan'ts is to check their health for a peace of mind? I will write as many negative reviews about this doctor as I can so that more people are informed of this doctor's careless, inconsiderate and useless attitude towards anyone! Although, their staff is very friendly and professional; I felt welcome. I didn't learn ANYTHING about risks and benefits of any treatment. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY! You've been warned!!!

The first time I walked into their office, I went to restroom and I don't think they've ever cleaned the place. It made me nauseous. I had to wait for a little while after I arrived for my appointment, but I've had to wait longer at other places. They seemed like they were extremely irritated to be at work, and that they couldn't wait for me to leave. They didn't seem to want to help anyone. Doctor seemed irritated and was unprofessional, rude, not caring and unable to so his job. What a waste of time and money. Run away from this place!!!!
