Everyone was very nice and helpful
Thank you!
Felt like they cared about me and how I was feeling. Doctor was very kind and took time to make sure I understood everything he may have to do. Thank him for his help.
Fantastic doctor, nurses, staff & facility.
I am extremely pleased with everything
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.
This was an excellent experience because of the knowledge and expertise of Dr. Carbonell.
It was great
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.
Sorry, I am behind with internet knowledge and I don't have an account with google
Stay tuned for part 2 in 2 months .
The visit was very informative.
Keep up the great work!
It was enjoyable. The Dr. knows his stuff.
It was a very good visit. I came from out of State and was glad I made the trip.
Efficient and understanding
Dr. Carbonell rocks!
Both Dr Carbonell and his nurse are amazing. He sat down and talked to us like real people do, and gave great information. He is amazing!
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.
Can't give enough praise.
Everything was great, except they said they called Angel hospital to schedule an appointment for me, for, get to send my order for my CT scan and when I called over there to make the appointment, they said the order was not there and nobody's returned my call.
Everything went well. I appreciated the Dr attention and engagement.
All went better then I expected.
Everyone was very nice and helpful during the whole process. I was very impressed with the customer service!!!
I appreciate every person that took care of me Professional and very patient oriented Wish every medical facility ran this way
Very impressed with Dr. Carbonell. Excellent in communicating my issue and potential treatments. Provided genuine concern and valuable advice. Would certainly recommend Dr. Carbonell to others regarding hernia problems and procedures.
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.
Thank you
