I find Dr. Carrol highly supportive. He ensures he is up to date with reports from all my specialists and is a team player, treating me holistically. Without his expertise, knowledge and professional management of my multifaceted condition I would be in a wheelchair at best, fully paralysed at worse. If there is any aspect of Dr. Carroll's way of dealing with me it is that you must ask lots of questions as he's not too talkative, he's deep in thought as he is examining me but that's fine as I know to do this.

Man is a disgrace, he gave me 2 years to live when I was 58 I am now 71 . Don’t trust him do your own research like I did. He knew I was MBL deficient and never told me, I only found out about it after I got my medical records. Said that I had R.A. and treated me for it for years, nearly killed me he did, also another idiot is Robert Will. Don’t go near that man either.

This man I suspect has damaged or delayed recovery or even destroyed some livelihoods of vulnerable patients like myself. I remember thinking I’m so so so so lucky that I have such a caring compassionate specialist. I wasn’t just dealing with finally having a diagnosis but also trying get my head around the fact I have developed this rare disease because my partner of 6 years had given me the STI chlamydia and within two months of him giving me the ST Infection my immune system cranked up to destroy the chlamydia and went into overdrive and attacked myself then causing me to develop a severe inflammatory arthritis. For me that was soul destroying in so many ways and really felt that Dr Carroll was feeling my emotional as well.
I had a follow up consultation with a registrar rheumatologist and they were expecting my recovery to be well ahead of what it actually was. From that point on Dr Carroll became this rude arrogant belittling snappy aggressive impatient at times intimidating with random outbursts and accusing me of snapping at him and how was he meant to do his job when I treated him like that. He clearly had lost control and was red faced and trembling hands repeating I’m the issue. I had a mask on very weak from the disease however I also need to point out that I’m on some heavy duty medication and to make sure you have the support of family and friends and make sure their aware that the medication high risk of causing irritability and moods something your specialists often make the aware of possible side effects. I felt extremely vulnerable and forced into a situation that could have been a whole lot worse however completely but inexcusable ,unprofessional and I now doubt the treatment or lack of. Twenty months almost 2 years have now passed since developing this disease, I just hope it’s not 20 months too late.

Amazing at diagnosing. The lack of information he shares about myself leaves me feeling vulnerable.
He gives me nothing and I feel like he has control issues.

All helpful in the beginning but once he realised how abnormal my issues are, he gave up. He became dismissive, ignored what 10 specialists before him had diagnosed and pulled me off my biological because he said it wasn't working. Removing my biological has meant that my condition has gotten worse and new diseases have joined in. He really needs to update his knowledge or retire, he's really not up to par as the younger doctors.

Dr Carroll did a very extensive initial interview and took copious notes. Following treatment was spot on. Had to drop some of the drugs due to my reaction but his explanation and overall care was top notch. Not sure at all who some of the other reviewers saw but my experience was avery good one and I would very happily recommend Dr Carroll.

He sent the wrong referral, written the wrong dosage on a prescription and did not pick up on my extremely elevated liver results until I asked the question. He had to call the pharmacy to find out what dosage he had prescribed me for one medication as he hadn't kept a record. Dismissive and disinterested.

My 19 year old daughter met with Dr Carroll after initial symptoms presenting like rheumatoid arthritis. She reported that he was absolutely wonderful. He took an incredibly thorough history, he took time to explain to her what her disease may or may not be, how it might manifest itself, what the future management may or may not look like etc. She left his office feeling fully informed, understanding that diagnosis and treatment will be an evolving process but at peace given she felt Dr Carroll is giving her and will continue to provide her with highly considered, expert treatment. Having read the reviews below I was anxious about not being available to attend the appointment with my 19yo daughter. Nonetheless, he came highly recommended by an orthopaedic surgeon friend of ours. We are thrilled that our daughter felt so comfortable with and respected and supported by Dr Carroll. We are so very grateful for his time and ongoing support and guidance.

My review is almost identical to the previous 2. He refused to believe me, even told his staff what I said must be untrue in front of me, didn't understand my suffering, suggested I see psychiatrist coz my illness doesn't exist and my pain and suffering is bcoz of stress from when I was in abusive relationship 4years ago.. told me to go off my pain meds and zoloft and there is nothing wrong with me.. nice enuf guy tho.. and the office is beautiful but he seems i very old school and I did feel a little dismissed due to my gender and younger age (than normal patients) especially when I've seen 2 female rhuemies they confirmed my dianognis but 2 male rhumies and "it's all in my head" and "just stress"..
