Care provider has been my provider for many years giving me excellent care and guidance.
I feel that Dr. Carey treats me as a whole person, not just an appointment on the calendar. I was encouraged to ask questions or raise concerns, and my opinions were considered.
I would recommend Dr. Carey to anyone, however we don't want him to get to busy because to where we are unable to book appointments.
Asked Dr. Carey about various vaccines (ex. Pneumonia, shingles, etc.) He explained the choices very well and I was able to make informed decisions on which ones to get. He is very good, listens well, and very much seems to care about the patient's mental and physical health. Also, I was seen by a medical student working with him and she also did a good job.
