Providence Patient
This was my first visit with Dr Carlini and I felt very comfortable right away! He had access to my previous records, was interested in what I had to say and seemed more interested than my previous Dr in getting to the root cause of my medical problem. In that regard, he ordered a test that had been done several years ago just to be sure that nothing was missed or overlooked. Dr Carlini is exactly the type of specialist that I was hoping to find.

My primary care physician told me that I had no indication of past strokes. Dr. Carlini reviewed my June 2023 MRI brain scan and showed me and my spouse that I had had MANY small strokes.
