    Other than being fairly late, I found Dr. Carrier to be professional, thorough, genuine. He spent obviously time reviewing our records. He showed the comparative slides of MRIs and x-rays. And he referred me on to a doctor at Mass General Boston for a second opinion. And I thought he did a good job. If I decide to, in fact, have knee work done, I definitely would go back to Dr. Carrier. Thank you.

    I felt finished by Dr. Carrier. It was as if I was no fun for him since surgery was not needed. I called a friend after the appt and when they asked I said I was basically told to suck it up. Again I felt everything I said was dismissed because surgery was not needed. I asked what the long term solution was and one mumbled something on his way out. He as 40 min late for my appt and it was before 9 am. Zero apology. I went back to that office because the Dr I saw 3 years ago was so nice. This Dr was nice but offered zero solutions when he realized/decided surgery was not on the table.
