He has good reviews as well, but his bad ones are interesting. Very worried about ego and payment..
I have a feeling this guy has a lot of baggage.
Below is one of the reviews I pasted from the site.
The actual site is the link below the comment.
We went to see Dr. Carson and he didn't even take the time to order new MRIs. He looked at an old MRI that was 5 years old and said my daughter didn't have Chiari. All he did with the 5 minutes he had my daughter was complain about my insurance company and how he never gets paid. Never took the time to exam my daughter and told me that going to the Chiari center in NY was a waste of time. Well, we went to NY and they found my daughter definitely had Chiari. They ran all kinds of tests and found that she has no fluid behind the base of her brain. She has damage to her vega nerve which has now slowed her stomach down and heart issues. Great Doctor. NY told us that Carson was a media doctor and if a case didn't give him media time or wasn't clear cut, then he wasn't going to be bothered.

(1,550 posts)It's in their best interest to stay as non-partisan as possible. I know I'm hesitating at writing another check.

(51,666 posts)Malcontents complain; happy patients don't. It's the same with all online reviews. Restaurants, especially. Competitors make shit up to make people look bad.
I ignore online reviews.

(11,304 posts)in Baltimore. They did all kinds of test yet they could not find nothing. So they had a medical board over at John Hopkins and they still did a bunch of test. They found a spot on his lower colon. That Friday back at the VA they were going to do an exploration surgery. But he hemorrhaged to death. They just couldn't stop the bleeding. He was 50 yrs old. It was so unexpected even by the doctors. They did the best they could.

(115,656 posts)he'd be a good candidate for any political office. The GOPers are desperate for somebody who doesn't seem to be an idiot, an asshole or a lunatic.
