Dr. Cancelled my appointment several times. I finally get seen to schedule my procedure and then out of the blue he is retired effective immediately. So now, after months of being put off, I am starting all over. Terrible to do to your patients.

Dr. Carrier was very comforting during this whole process. Surgery went smoothly and recovered fast. I heard today he retired yesterday and so sorry to hear this. Wonderful Doctor.

I went to Dr.Carrier with a cyst in my thoat. He did do a biopsy on it which was ok. Did fellow up appointment with him after that. He said he wouldn't remove it. Since than this cyst has given me none think but trouble. Food gets stuck in my thoat. Trouble breathing at night. I'm very disappointed this cyst wasn't removed right away. I feel this cyst has grown some but I won't go back to him again. Must found some other Doctor.

Very poor communication, not given options, then, he cancelled the surgery without notifying the patient. Very rude, arrogant and unprofessional. Mistated facts. Would never recommend. Went to another surgeon. Was given much better information and made better choice.

Dr. Carrier did an excellent job on my surgery. Which was a major unexpected surgery. Dr. Carrier was professional,caring and patient with me even though I was slow to heal. He also gave an explaination to my questions that I could easily understand.
