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.

When a doctor (prior to Covid ever being discovered), asks you why, if you thought you were ill, didn't you wear a mask to protect him,,,well you have to presume he is a jerk! I presumed he would want to look in my throat and look up my nose, in my ears and look at my eyes for infection and illness in the form of a URI, since I am immune-compromised. I think knowing that from my record HE SHOULD HAVE HAD A MASK ON!!!! Move on if you have been assigned or chosen this doctor. He is rude. Never see him again!

I met Dr. Carreon when changing my husbands Dr., from a less competant associate. Once we had our first appointment I switched my Dr. to Dr. Carreon as well. He is so great to deal with. He saved me a lot of pain and suffering by catching a broken leg that was misdiagnosed as a sprained hip. His Nurse Marie is also awesome. They always remember us when we have appointments and are very easy to talk to. I have seen an overall improvement in both of our health. Well done Dr Carreon!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Carreon?
Very rude and condescending. Little knowledge base when treating potentially critical patients. Did not order appropriate lab or xrays. Sent me on my way with nothing. I ended up very ill needing medication, xrays and a referral. He also doesn't need to promote himself as a sports medicine doctor if he is merely a Family Practitioner. Orthopedics is full of sports medicine specialists. He needs to listen and concentrate on the illnesses and conditions of his GP patients. I would avoid him.
