We waited 2.5 hours and still have not been seen by the doctor. The staff is very rude. We finally walked out.

It's easy to get an appointment with Dr. Carpenter. I have been to his Lake Mead office. What I did not like was that he only spends less than 3-5 minutes with you. Also, he has awful bedside manners. He seems like a child who is about to throw a temper tantrum. He snaps his fingers at his employees. In one case he did not understand my parent, and he got impatient and snapped at his assistant to interpret for him. I think this is a true lack of professionalism. Dr Carpenter does not know how to patient with people. I would not return to this doctor again.

Poor results from surgery with complications that were not treated on follow up visits. He has lost his license once and will probably lose it again. Average wait time in office 2+ hrs. 4 months outside surgery and still have complications.
