Dr. Michael Dean Carpenter, MD

He crippled me by doing something wrong and never mentioned this risk. He tried refering me to other specialists several times hoping it would just go away and denying anything was wrong from his work. Finally went around him and had major corrective procedure to fix the problem. Don;t trust him, he does not accept responsibility for his mistakes.

He was condescending, rude and abrasive... did not treat me or my issue. Find another doctor... don't waste your time with this jerk.

I first met the doctor for a consultation. He completely informed me after looking at my xray and showing me a model of how my back should look. I was impressed as he allowed me to ask questions that I needed to know and answered each in a language I could understand. I have had three epidural procedures to help alleviate pain in my back. I have stenosis and arthritis that causes me much chronic pain. He showed me much empathy and compassion with my illness and has not only been there with his needle (HA!), but been there with his wonderful personality and makes me laugh all the time which helps me relax. I was also impressed as to how the procedure is performed and how he explains everything he did for me once it is completed. I am currently scheduled for a two-month vacation and anticipate going with no pain! His staff, especially Elaine, is also so caring and on the mark when it comes to knowledge of her position. My pain level is not completely gone; however,… it is not a 15 on a scale of 1-10 like it was before. For this I am grateful!
