Dr. Carroll is a fantastic internal medicine physician. He sincerely cares about me as a patient, and it shows in all aspects of our relationship, including visits, medication management, follow-up on inpatient care, paperwork, everything. He has been my primary physician for about 10 years and he is as just as kind, genuine, and professional as my first impression of him.
