from Jean in LA February 9, 2014 for David R. Carver, MD

Dr. Carver has been my physician for close to 25 years. Since he became an MDVIP I have had more personal time with him and have gotten to know him better as he gets to know me better. I have always held Dr. Carver in high esteem, but now I am even more grateful that he is my doctor. He emails me, prays for me, and spends more time explaining my health issues and ways to over come them. I… See more

Dr Carver is the most kind, caring physician I've ever seen. I am privileged to be a part of his practice. His tireless efforts & advice have helped me to improve my life.

But with the MDVIP service he… See more

I was inpressed on my first visit to the new location. The sitting area has a very homelike atmosphere, and the waiting time to see Dr. Carver was very short. All of the staff were awesome, and they treated me like a family member. I was truly amazed with Dr. Carver when he transformed from doctor mode to a personal mode and hugged me and assure me that everything was going to be alright… See more

Five years ago, at age 73, I suffered from back pain caused by deterioration and loss of two disks in my lower back (L3 and L4). Dr. Carver prescribed exercise and referred me to a physical therapist who custome-designed a series of stretching and flexing exercises. The routine takes 40 minutes every other day. I have followed the routine very strictly and continuously ever since then, and so… See more
