I had a hysterectomy by doctor Carrese many years ago. During post op, I began to suffer severe nerve pain to the point of being bedridden. He told me the pain was all in my head and to see a psychiatrist. Luckily, a friend my husband played golf with knew an administrator at Yale who referred me to his best surgeon. I had endometriosis which caused nerve issues and pain after my initial surgery but there was no mention of it in my surgical reports. I ended up with 3 more surgeries at Yale for pain mapping. I also had an ovary removed that should have been removed in the first place. The Yale doc's explained that if Dr.Carrese performed a full hysterectomy in the first place, the endometriosis wouldn't have come back to cause issues with my post surgical healing. Since then my life has changed. The Yale doc's couldn't get rid of all the pain so I was referred to pain management and have been a pain patient for the past two decades. ( At least my Yale doc's didn't tell me that my post op pain wasn't all in my head, they were all empathetic, knowledgeable and professional.

It was a first pregnancy that wasnt planned for and he took care of me and kept me calmed down through the entire process. I was so glad I was told to go see him by a friend.

Dr. Carrese is fantastic! He takes the time to listen to you and help you out, even with things that may not be directly related to gynocological care (general weight loss not due to having children). He saved my mother's life when I was 7 years old when she was in the hospital, no one knew what was wrong. He came to visit and did an exam and found she was hemmoraging from ovarian cysts. No one likes to go to the gyno but at least there is one I can trust 100%.

Dr C is by far the best doctor I ever had!! I now live in the south and I am comparing everyone I meet with Dr C and his staff. Noone comes close to him. I have called Dr C and told him that even though I live in FL I will ALWAYS be his patient!!

I think this doc. is excellent he delivered my daughter in Aug. of 2008. His bedside manner is the best I have ever seen. He makes you feel like your family. He came and saw me after I had the baby just to make sure everything was ok.. He will forever be my doc. I now live about 1 hour away and will still drive to bee seen by him.. I highly reccommend him.

dr. carrese is a nice man. He;s very knowledgeable and seems to care about his patients. however, he does not follow up with patients like he should.I waited a week and a half for him to call me after my biopsy. He never did. I finally called and he said that he'd left a message on my machine. This is the second time he's done the same thing.The first time I thought that it was just a mistake. Now, I see the pattern. Also, he confuses me with another patient with the same first name - which is just weird. i will be looking for another doctor.

dr. carrese is a very nice man and truly goes out of his way to make you feel like family. he delivered one of my babies. but when my next was due, he was in the middle of a lawsuit and lied to me about my own delivery. i later learned from other patients that when he couldnt deliver, he would claim he was on vacation, when the truth was that he just couldnt do deliveries at the time. i was and still am extremely disappointed in him. i moved on to a different doctor.
