Providence Patient
Dr. Carroll is a great Dr.
Providence Patient
Dr. Carol exemplifies everything a physician should be-attentive, thorough, and deeply committed to patient care. He not only stays fully informed about my medical history but also ensures I understand what's happening with my health. He listens carefully, responds thoughtfully, and follows through on every recommendation. His approach is proactive, never dismissive, and always grounded in expertise and compassion. If every doctor practiced with the same level of attentiveness and follow-through, the standard of care would be significantly higher. Simply put, he is one of top two physicians I have ever had. As a public health, professional myself, I understand that tremendous added value of having a doctor like him.

I can't because I've been a patient for a very long time and I respect him and I feel very loyal to him due to that. He has been through very dark times with him as my dr. I just hate repeating certain things over and over again, or sometimes questions can be asked in a almost confrontational way, but that can be just my perception because of my mental health at the moment. He cares, and he cares a lot about his patience. I would never choose another doctor.
