Dr. Carpenter helped stop my daughter's aggressive behaviors associated with autism. We can take her out in public without fear she'll have a meltdown or attack anyone. She loves her life now that she's free of all her anxiety. Thank you Dr. C.

he was excellent with my daughters needs. was not a drug pusher like some of the other psychiatrists around. but when we accidentally missed an appointment it has been impossible to reach the dr to make another appointment. after calling daily for almost two months i have sadly decided to look for another doctor for my daughter. its a shame because he worked wonders with my daughter

My family and I are so grateful to have Dr. Carpenter in our lives. We absolutely could not recommend more highly any doctor. Truly, his medical expertise and caring counseling have gotten each of us through many ups and downs and highly complicated, emotional situations. We are all different ages and in different stages of life and none of us could ask for any more in Dr. Carpenter.

Dr. Carpenter saved my son's life. I have never met a more caring and compassionate doctor. He explained all the science behind this illness and gave us the tools to manage it. We are so grateful to this dedeciated doctor.

Dr. Carpenter has changed the quality of my adult autistic son's life. We had been to the Medical College of Ga and were not given any help or hope. Dr. Carpenter very quickly located the problem and began treatment. Our son is now living with a quality of life that we could have only dreamed about prior to meeting Dr. Carpenter.

Dr. Carpenter has done so much to help my son, my self and my family it's hard to express my appreciation adequately. My bipolar child was misdiagnosed by other psychiatrists. He was suffering because of incorrect treatment and, consequently, so was our entire family. I will always feel blessed for Dr. Carpenter's brilliant and ongoing medication advice. He is a wonderful, kind, caring person and doctor in every way.
