Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Results oriented
I very much appreciate a straight to the point approach and that is what I got. No dancing around. He told me like it is and what I am dealing with. Then we discussed options on how to make my situation better. I am looking forward to my appointment next week and to discuss my situation further.

Dr. Carrese
Dr. Carrese has been the BEST Orthopedic Dr. That I have had. Words cannot explain how he has been with me during my care. Dr. Arrest is a phenomenal Dr. And I will DEFINITELY recommend him for care. I have already recommended him many times. Without Dr. Arrest, I don't think I would have came so far

Great doctor, great experience!
I was referred to Dr. Carrese after visiting my orthopedic for back pain. I am really glad that my orthopedic recommended him. He's really friendly and very professional and knowledgeable. I have seen him a few times and couldn't be more pleased with my results. If you are someone looking for a doctor or get referred, this is the guy.
