from Angela in LA March 18, 2018 for David R. Carver, MD

Dr. Carver has been my physician for about 22 years. I started seeing him when I was only 18 years old. I happened upon him as pure luck as my parents and I were searching for a primary care doctor that I could see as an adult. He then worked at the Baton Rouge Family Medical Center only downstairs from his current office location. Dr. Carver's bedside manner was of utmost importance to… See more

from Eelyn in LA March 16, 2018 for David R. Carver, MD

My experience with Dr. Carver as my primary care physician has been very positive. He is easy to talk to. He spends time reviewing all of the results of my annual screenings and explains what everything means. I never feel that he is rushing me through. He encourages me in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Because of his advice and encouragement, I don't need to visit him often.… See more

Dr. Carver listens to me like no other doctor has before. He listens intently, with caring and concern. He not only hears the words, but also reads the expressions and emotions.
His staff is wonderful. They are efficient while still managing to be kind and pleasant.
I love feeling like I matter.

from Dianne M in LA March 6, 2018 for David R. Carver, MD

My doctor, Dr. Carver has played an important positive difference in my health and well being. To show just how much he cares for his patients, I contacted him by e-mail last year on some issues I were experiencing that had me worried with concern. Lo and behold I heard back from Dr. Carver and he informed me that he and his family were on vacation, to me that meant a lot that he stepped… See more

from Louis in LA March 1, 2018 for David R. Carver, MD

I have been very, very fortunate to be a patient of Dr.. Carver for over 10 years. I was not always the easiest patient to deal with, but he always gave me a consistent and honest answer to my health at each visit. I have come to rely on and trust his advice. He, Connie, and Stephanie are a GREAT team. Thank you all for the peace of mind that you give!
