Dr. Linda Rose Carroll, MD

This provider had terrible bedside manner. She was rude and pompous. I understand east coast style, but this was above and beyond that. Don't expect to support your spouse by going to the appointment as this is not allowed. She wont accept past medical records and will talk over you during any history gathering. I have no idea if her attitude improves after the first visit as I couldn't get through the first. Hands down the worst provider I have ever seen.

This was the worst experience with a doctor she was unprofessional and rude.

I've been seeing Dr. Carroll for 6 months for chronic pain. My first appt. was not pleasant. The Bend office was packed and noisy so it was hard to concentrate on filling out the (many) new patient forms. This dr. seemed very arrogant and non-caring. I didn't have enough time to fill out all of the new patient forms even though I got there 20 minutes early, so I had to go in to see her with the papers in my hand. She seemed irritated that they were not completely filled out. The initial exam took a large amount of time but she did not make me feel rushed (which was a nice surprise to me, especially since she seemed so cold and uncaring). The next appt. was in her Redmond ofc. (where I live). My husband was with me and was going to come in with me but she did not allow this; she coldly stated that he cannot come in with me and to stay in the lobby. Again, she was almost mean. The next appt. was also in Redmond and I hardly recognized her as the same person; she was friendly and listened… attentively. She responded to my concerns and seemed really nice. I don't know what to expect the next time I see her but I hope it's the nice one again.

Before seeing Dr. Carroll I was told to be on time and do what I was told to by her or she won't see me. Then I would expect the same from her. Not the case. She was supposed to get me set up to give myself shots for pain. Two months later when I have to schedule an appointment wait a day in pain before I can get the same shot I should have been able to give to myself. Is this how you want your Heath care?

Dr. Carroll is superb. She spent a considerable amount of time getting to know me and understanding my medical concerns. She helped integrate information from a variety of sources and explained things to me clearly. I appreciate her expertise and competency.
