Due to doctor shortage I had to wait five plus months for my appt. I spent 45 minutes in the waiting room from the check-in time to the M.A. Then after the M.A. I spent 20 minutes waiting for the dr.

We need more Neurologists (especially those with Movement Disorder Specialists training). Dr. Carlini is doing the work of many, and still provides above average patient care. The question is not what number I would rate Dr. Carlini, but instead should be, "What can you do to get more (many more) doctors, just like him?"

Providence Patient
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. These strokes may be a partial cause of my adverse conditions and those strokes indicate that I should take steps to reduce the chance of a major stroke. I am very thankful that I saw Dr. Carlini.

Providence Patient
While I have been a patient with Providence Neurology for 3 years, I have been a patient of 3 providers now. The first 2 providers were awful, they were rude, had terrible bedside manners and did not have my best interest in mind. I felt ignored and as if my condition was just another day at work for them and they were there just to earn their high dollar paycheck. Now with Dr. Carlini he has been so compassionate, understanding and has caught things that none of my other providers have such as medications that actually are harmful for people with epilepsy. He truly cares about his patients he truly listens and truly understands what we go through. I'm absolutely thankful for him and I wish he would have been my doctor from the beginning.
Providence Patient
Yes! I would recommen to Family and Friends.
Providence Patient
Dr. Carlini is thoughtful, kind and very thorough. He does not waste my time or his yet I did not feel rushed or like I couldn't ask him one more question and get a thorough explanation. Very knowledgeable in his field. He was able to explain my MRI Results and specifically relate the results to weakness in my body In a way I could understand.
Providence Patient
He listened well and was very knowledgeable. I liked that he was "hands on", in that he tested my reflexes and observed my balance while walking etc. He also asked a lot of questions, trying to get as much information as possible.
Providence Patient
Never had a "bad" experience with Dr. Carlini. This last visit may be my last visit due to Botox Shots being no longer effective.

Very professional always knows his stuff
Providence Patient
I've found Dr. Carlini to be somewhat terse, but he does listen to what I have to say, is interactive about ensuring understanding and responds thoughtfully. I've enjoyed interacting with him. Regarding questions about scheduling... I responded that my scheduling experience with Dr. Carlini has been very good, but that's because we schedule my next appointment whenever I visit (at my last visit, we scheduled the next two appointments). This works well as long as I don't have to reschedule at all. If I do, getting a new appointment any time soon can be a challenge. In fairness, this seems to be an issue across all practices at Providence in Southern Oregon, not just with Dr. Carlini.
Providence Patient
I was pleasantly surprised with Dr Carlini. He was thorough and very patient with me. I feel very fortunate to be accepted as one of his patients.
