Dr. Carr in my book is a very caring doctor that will go the extra mile to find the problem & the solution. He was always kind & encouraged me which for a doctor whose busy busy meant a lot to me. He's now with NIH which is good for him but sad for us who've lost a wonderful doctor! I do wish him the very best at NIH, perhaps he will be the one to find a cure for lung cancer!

Absolutely the best doctor and surgeon. He did robotic surgery on my lung cancer and after 3 years I am cancer free. He is a superstar and I feel very blessed to have him as my doctor.

I would definitely choose Dr S. CARR AGAIN. He was wonderful in all aspect of care. Dr Carr took time with me, he explained my surgery and what to expect post-operative. He was easy to reach via phone, his office was also wonderful and helped with my forms and such. My recovery was even better than expected. Thank you for your superior care.

Outstanding care. Dr. Carr is truly an outstanding surgeon who worked tirelessly during a 7 1/2 hour VAT surgery to ensure my outcome and recovery was the best it could possibly be. He is an amazing surgeon as well as a great man.
