Since everything was answered in the positive this is an unnecessary question.
The experience was excellent.
I couldn't have been treated anymore respectfully. Dr. Carbonell went above and beyond all my expectations to share his time and expertise to listen to my problem list and develop a plan for me going forward. He absolutely was attentive and showed much interest in getting to the source of my problem and ordering tests and making referral to another doctor who specializes in another possible condition I may have. I am beyond impressed with his demeanor and the level of concern for my particular issue(s).
Nothing was left undone or unexplained.
Someone called me while I was driving there, and before my appointment time, to ask if I was going to make it in. That was confusing and unnecessary since it was before my scheduled arrival time.
Dr CARBONELL was very patient and explained to me anatomically what was going on and how he would fix it. He was pleasant and patient. I Appreciated that!
I have no problem with anyone at this office
Dr. Carbonell is a great doctor and more doctors with Prisma should have his skill set and bedside manner.
This was a perfect visit. Most impressed with everything.
Happy with service overall
