Dr. Carroll was so careful to explain everything I needed to know about my knee issue. I was provided with exercise worksheets and a time frame that hopefully my symptoms will resolve by as long as I carry out the program twice daily. I was very pleased with the care I received.

Dr Carroll is awesome as is his staff. I couldn't be happier with my care
I have never needed orthopedic care before and I had an accident and broke my knee. I am very active and felt much stress over my injury. The staff helped me sort it out and broke it down with short timeline goals so they are easier to manage.
Great care with suggestions for care in the future
Everyone was great, polite and caring. What a great place. Thank You
Dr Carroll was very polite and professional. He knew my history and was able to take care of my issue.
I lucked into an appointment the next day for a consult with the doctor I wanted. Every one at the office was outstanding. Happy to continue treatment there.
Dr. Jack Carroll was very knowable about my left knee problem, and was very thorough with his examination of my knee. He promptly provided quick health treatment. Thank you.
The doctor took the time to listen to me and he explained everything very well. He worked with me and my situation.
Dr.Carroll did a fantastic job explaining thoroughly about what his recommendations were and why. Then also made me feel comfortable with the long decision of having hip surgery. Great staff. Looking forward to working with this team that has reached out to me and answer any question and tell me step by step. Impressive..

I was very pleased. No complaints at all. They were very nice. The doctor seems to really know what he's doing. I was very impressed with the whole staff. No complaints at all. I was very happy.
It was my first visit with this provider. It was a wonderful experience
Dr. Carroll evaluated my knee quickly, gave me his diagnosis and listed my options. His recommendation of a cortisone shot and PT sounded reasonable to me and I was pleasantly surprised that he was able to administer the shot during this visit. I got immediate relief and 5 hours later am still markedly better ??.
Very professional, skilled care.
Dr. Carroll seems like a wonderful care provider! He was prompt, courteous, took a great deal of notes, and made every effort to make me comfortable for the exam despite my injury. I really appreciate the time he took to explain things throughly and answer my questions.
Everyone in the office was lovely, very professional yet friendly.
Appointment was prompt . I didn't feel rushed and was able to get my questions answered and the information given was helpful.
Dr. Carroll was extremely knowledgeable and caring. He explained my condition in an understandable manner. He discussed treatment options and the pros and cons of each. He was very gentle in performing gel injections. The support staff at the front desk and in the exam room were pleasant and professional.
Dr Carroll & his staff were fantastic! Highly efficient, professional, patient, great listeners, and performed a challenging & successful hip replacement surgery! I have already recommended him to everyone I know. My husband has difficult medical issues such as acute memory loss, general frailty, & brittle diabetes. Yet, they spoke to him with dignity & compassion. Rare to find this in doctors, has been my experience. They were just great to deal with!!!
This was my first appointment with Dr. Carroll. He had reviewed my record and X-rays in advance, and answered my questions thoroughly. Hw had a collaborative approach to treatment options, which I consider of high importance. He administered an injection into my hip expertly, and prescribed PT as the next step of treatment. I was very satisfied with Dr. Carrol's communication skills, expertise, and treatment.
I found the staff to be really nice to speak with. I really was impressed with dr Carroll. He listened and was so good explaining about my knee and what was available for treatment. Very nice doctor. Southcoast is the best. Love all my doctors
I had an excellent experience. The staff were friendly and courteous. The physician explained what was going on and the best course of remedy.

Excellent service. Cared about me as a person
Doctor Carroll and his whole staff have been absolutely awesome in my whole difficult situation.
The staff and the provider were very helpful and friendly. They greeted us in a friendly manner and walked us through every step that we needed. The lady called to schedule an MRI for us which was extremely helpful and went out of her way to do so. The provider was very friendly and listened to our concerns. He performed a very thorough exam of the knee and explained his assessment in detail in a manner that we understood. He has an excellent bedside manner and that goes a long way. We were very happy and pleased with the care we received.
Dr. Carroll cared that I was in pain and came up with a treatment plan that made sense (drained knee and injected cortisone to be followed up with PT). Even thought this was my first appointment with Dr. Carroll, I was confident that he would help me, and he did. Worth the drive to Wareham.
I am very comfortable with this provider and staff . I was treated very well and all my conditions were explained in a way I could understand. He took the time to show me on the screen and did a great job with the injection in my knee . I recommend this doctor's office .
My primary care dr called to make me an appointment and they squeezed me in the next day. Dr Carroll was great and so was the nurse that set me up in the room and went over all my health information. I'm satisfied with the care I got and will definitely see Dr Carroll again if I need to.
Great experience. Everyone in this office is friendly and knowledgeable.

This was a great experience. Prompt, excellent care from everyone I saw. I was very impressed with the time I was given and attention to details shown.Really nice peopleThanks
Listened. Answered questions. Explained at my level of understanding.
Dr. Carroll was very helpful in that he discussed several approaches I could take to improve my issues. He was thoughtful and encouraging. He took time after explaining things to ask me if I had further questions and then asked me which approach was I inclined to take and I told him and then he proceeded. I feel he was a good listener and problem solver.
Dr. Carroll explained everything to me completely & used my mri images to help me better understand. He took his time with me and gave me all my options. I liked him very much and he made me feel comfortable and didn't dismiss any of my concerns.
Everything was great. I got a quick appt for a knee issue. Dr. Carroll listened carefully and explained what was going on and the treatment options. He was patient and kind. Hopefully I won't have to go back however if I do I know I will be treated well.
