Over the years being a patient of Dr. Carver's, I have found him to be honest regarding prognosis, caring regarding the end results of the surgeries which he performs, patient and attentive during the evaluation process, jovial/happy as he sees your recovery, and very sympathetic regarding his patients conditions. There is no better surgeon I know, that I would trust when it comes to my diagnosis! Period!

Surgery was painless, avoided paralysis and caring bedside maner. I trust his judgement.

In one visit Dr Carver diagnosed a critical condition in my cervical spine that could have resulted in my becoming a parplegic. He showed excellent detail and his professional opinion was concurred by two other physicians.

Dr Carver has performed a total of 4 surgeries. I am now relativly pain free. He is absolutely the best. I have had problems in the past dealing with office staff, but the past few years they have improved tremendously.

This is the most amazing Doctor I have ever been to. I had a 14 hour surgery in 1991 if an acoustic neuroma. Then another in 1996. He did both surgeries and he made me feel that he cared. At that time I needed emotional support and he was wonderful. I have had no problems since 1996. He saved my life!

He is the best and his staff is wonderful also. He never makes you feel like you are wasting his time.
