Dr. Carpenter focuses on the patient and assures that her questions are answered fully. I have never felt uncomfortable with him, and for me that's important. I've never felt rushed or dismissed by him.

I have been seeing Dr. Carpenter for 6 years now and I have never had a complaint! I love that he takes time before each visit to sit and discuss any questions or concerns that you have. His staff is great, I love his nurse!! Very kind man!

I have been seeing Dr. Carpenter since my early 20's. He cared for me through both of my pregnancies. He also delivered my daughter's son when it was time. He is not only a wonderful Dr. He is an amazing person! He listens, evaluates any issue you may have, and relies on his expertise to devise a plan of action that is right for you. I could never have asked for a better Dr. to see me through the stages of my life. We have somewhat "grown up together". :) Thank you for being there for me!

I was grafted in as I was a patient of Dr Buzhardt who delievered by oldest child in 1968, He Also performed my Hysterectomy in 1985. I worked with this excellent group of Dr.s via when I worked Labor and Delivery @ MI.....I chose to remain with Dr. Carpenter because I felt as comfortable with him as I did with Dr. B. In 2009 I needed Surgery and He performed it and I was treated very well. The nursed and the staff have always been very nice. I could not have asked for better Bedside Manner. He was patient with me, He listen to me of all my fears and concerns and I would highly recommend him to my family and friends.

I have been seeing Dr. Carpenter for years and I love him. He has a good beside manner and takes plenty of time with you. I think he is skilled as an OB/Gyn. He delivered both of my children - even delivered one of mine as a scheduled C-section on the day of his child's birthday party one year. He has also performed other procedures on me such as biopsies, etc. I also find his staff to be caring.
