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.

Great doctor and really listens to you
I've been seeing Dr Carr for about 5 years now. He is very good at working with you regarding treatment plans. He takes his time to hear what you have to say and gives it careful consideration. He trusts you to know how you are feeling and whether a medication is working for you or not. He makes you feel like a team working to make you feel better.

Do not recommend
I would give zero stars. Very rude and unprofessional office staff. Can never get through on the phone. Very inconsistent with insurance requirements. For an office specializing in mental wellness they have no consistency or respect for patient care. Was talked to very rude and hateful by the girl at the front desk and when I asked to speak with the office manager I waited 40 minutes for her to get off her phone call to meet with me and she didn’t have the decency to speak with me face to face about the issue. Very unprofessional.

His office opens at 7am, I’ve been trying to call since about 7:30am and it’s now 10am and I still haven’t been able to get in touch with anybody. The answering service is still answering the phone.

Dr. Carr is one of the finest! He is kind, caring, compassionate, a great listener. He is the kind of doctor that many people want to have, but sadly, never get the opportunity to find a doctor of this caliber. He takes his time with his patients. Has an excellent bedside manner. Very calming. I Highly recommend Dr. Benjamin Carr.

Dr. Carr is great except for his very rude front office staff. She is unwilling to listen to patients and will not take messages for the psychiatrist even in emergencies . She will turn patients away for the slightest reason. She takes advantage of the limited number of psychiatrists in and around Gadsden and therefore does not care about her patient/ customer relationship.

I have the utmost respect for Dr. Carr. He always has helped me figure out the issues I've had. I even respect the fact that he's honest with me. I've been seeing him onand off for over 6 years. Angela is really good as well. Can't ask for anything better. His office staff especially Ms. Francis are the sweetest people.
