This was my first appointment with Dr. Carre. He entered the exam room, shook my hand to introduce himself and told me that he had studied my chart the night before. I have a very rare condition, and Dr. Carre was quite knowledgeable about my issues and how to proceed. [...] I still left feeling confident, knowing that Dr. Carre had given me the information needed to pursue successful treatment elsewhere. I am very impressed with Dr. Carre. His knowledge and empathy were outstanding. - Verified patient
