Dr. Carbonell listened well, asked pertinent questions and clearly explained my condition and what he can do to correct my issue. My daughter has been his patient in the past for both hernia and gall bladder surgery. I am confident in his skills and information.

My wife and I waited in the exam room for about 30 minutes and then had to flag down a staff member in the hallway to get the scheduler to come in to schedule my surgery date.

Dr. Carbonell provided excellent care. He had reviewed my medical history before the visit, solicited additional clinical information from me to understand my concerns, and provided a hernia exam with a great deal of sensitivity. He addressed each of my questions thoroughly, and provided me with a good deal of additional information. He created a treatment plan that was exactly on point with my medical needs. I have complete confidence in having him perform my hernia surgery should I need to pursue this option. Dr. Carbonell also made excellent eye contact when speaking with me, which demonstrated a great deal of respect for me as a human being. I deeply appreciated that approach.

My appts. are always fast, but to the point with all the info I need, and always has time for questions. I have never experienced the "conveyor belt syndrome" from Dr. CARBONELL, or any of his staff.

I was, the quality of care was excellent, but I have to go, although I had an appointment at 4 o'clock, I couldn't see the doctor until about 5, beyond 5:30. I was already taken in and I was waiting in the room for about an hour, and hour and a half, and such things could be improved, okay. Thanks.

I did have a couple of questions prior to my appointment and, this was a first new patient appointment, and so I called and left messages regarding the situation and the questions, three times, I never did receive a call back. So, you know, I found that to be disconcerting, considering it was a new patient. I was a new patient, never had seen this provider before. But yet I couldn't get anyone to return a call about a question about that day's appointment. Keeping in mind, the provider was great. I really like them. I'm glad I went to the appointment. But that was a really negative first impression before, I'd even been to the office to kinda, leave me with thank you.
