Testimonials from patients of Dr. Carver
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
It is a very good feeling to know that when you have a question in regards to your health you can count on Dr. Carver. His prompt and very accurate answers are very reassuring.
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. I take less medication and live more actively and fully. He always listens to my concerns and addresses them fully. He was always this way, even before becoming an MDVIP physician. But with the MDVIP service he… See more
I became a patient with Dr. Carver around 1990, His practice grew from a small one to a very large practice. It was not unusual to have to wait an hour in the waiting room and an additional 30 minutes once in the patient room to see him. His staff seemed to be under stress and over burdened all the time.
Since joining MDVIP, I rarely have to wait in the waiting room, in fact his staff… See more
David,
Debe and I are truly blessed to have you not only as our physician, but our friend. We would not be as healthy today had it not been for your encouragement and support. Thanks again for all you do.
I have been a patient of Dr. Carver for 13+ years. He has always been very attentive and listens to your concerns as a patient. He was a very thorough doctor which is why I moved to MDVIP when he joined. When I started seeing Dr. Carver was health, weight and overall knowledge to my own health was not good. Seeing him has vastly improved all of that!!! I have recommended him as a General… 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
