My time with Dr. Carroll was outstanding and somewhat surprising -seems the two courses of physical therapy he authorized and the routine I've established to continue the exercises at home now means that surgery is no longer recommended! A 6 month follow-up appointment gives me some peace of mind that I can get in to see him if my condition degrades.
Dr. Carroll did a great job of explaining everything!
Great staff and very knowledgeable. Explains the situation and very excellent detail in a way that I could understand. Thank you.

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.

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.

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.

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.
