Testimonials from patients of Dr. Carver

from Jean in LA October 8, 2014 for David R. Carver, MD

Congratulations Dr. Carver! I am thrilled that you have been recognized as one of the Best Doctors, something I can attest to and have known for over 25 years. One of the things that I appreciate about Dr. Carver is that the last two years he has treated me without being compensated by my insurance company. Because he is a MDVIP, the insurance company refused to recognize him as my provider… See more

Dr. Carver was my doctor before MDVIP. I'm a single parent teacher, so money is tight. However, this is the best money I spend for peace of mind. It gives me instant access when I need it the most. For instance, my son slipped and pierced his hand with a shard from a plate. I called Dr. Carver on his cell afterhours. He sent us to the emergency room, and they knew who we were… See more

My story began about noon in early Nov. 2013 when I began to experience strange sensations on my left side. It progressed to to the point where I could not stand up and the pain came in waves that brought me to my knees and literally became unbearable.

Dr. Carver not only treats my illnesses, but he also educates me and keeps me on the straight and narrow regarding preventive health. He takes the time to answer all my questions, no matter how long-winded. His staff is welcoming and his office is always a pleasure to visit. With his help I look forward to staying on the water and fishing for years to come.
