I have been a patient of Dr. Carney's since 2010 and have had good experiences.

About her waiting room, there are pre-recorded programs playing. They are religious-ish in that the audio playing on it is reminiscent of church songs, but I can never put my finger on a specific song. The video is just nature and animals- waterfalls, families of ducks, deer drinking from lakes, etc. I think its peaceful and is certainly better than daytime tv.

During her consultations, she does pack a whole lot of information in to 1 visit. Usually when I leave I feel like we had been talking for an hour but it has only been 15 min.

She is vegan, and is a promoter of it, so yes, if your cholesterol, allergies, or whatever can be cured with diet modification, she will absolutely try to get you to go that route. My first visit was for sinus headaches. She said cut out the dairy, but if I chose not to, she prescribed me flonase and singulair. I went ahead and cut out the dairy and ta-daa! No more headaches.

My most recent visit was for heart palpitations. I used to have this issue as a teenager and it had returned. Rather than just punting me to Cardiology like my doctor 10 years ago had, she got a 12 lead EKG, blood work, and asked me to walk on her treadmill. After the diagnostics were finished she found the cause was from a  B12 deficiency. Once again, I'm fixed without invasive procedures or medications. She still gave me a referral to a cardiologist just in case I wanted to pursue it.

I love that she gives me options, and is always looking to cure an illness the natural way first. I think that too many practitioners are soft on their patients, and our culture has created an environment where people don't want to change a single habit, just give them another pill! Lots of things need medications and medical intervention, but lots don't. That is all.

A great doctor that truly cares about her patients!

I am surprised to see so many negative reviews on here.  My experience with Dr. Carney has been great.  Also, I must have been in a completely different waiting room, because I like the one they have.  The staff there is very friendly.

I have been having health problems on and off for the past couple of years and finally got a full blood panel to see what exactly was wrong.  Based on the results Dr. Carney recommended some diet and lifestyle changes to make along with a book she recommended I read.  While the lifestyle changes were not easy to make overnight, they have helped make tremendous progress.  I did not want to be put on pharmaceutical drugs and that didn't even come up as an option, thankfully.  I feel much better now and am making more progress every day.  Dr. Carney is a great listener, which is also rare among doctors who seem to usually just want to talk about 5x as much as they listen.

If you want a pill to fix what ails you, Dr. Carney probably isn't the doctor for you. If you want someone who will help you truly improve your health, then I highly recommend her. I'll admit to being highly skeptical of all the diet changes that Dr. Carney recommended, but the results speak for themselves. She explained that part of my problem is probably genetics since even my 40-year-old sister has high blood pressure and high cholesterol. But I followed her advice, changed my diet and lowered my blood pressure and cholesterol in just months without medication. Plus, I dropped 20 pounds without even trying! I'm still not 100% where I want to be on my diet (that's code for I still cheat too much), but I continue to get better and better. I can't thank Dr. Carney enough for empowering me to take control of my health.

Yes, she often runs behind schedule. But that's because she takes so much time with each patient. I can't imagine someone who cares more about her patients.

If you are looking for a quick fix doctor that will write you up a prescription instead of addressing the root of your problem then you should go elsewhere.  I truly appreciate a doctor that not only spends a lot of time with her patients but has the guts to try to change the way we treat our bodies thru the food we put into them.  

My husband and I are patients now and are very pleased with Dr. Carney's knowledge and care.  I was very skeptical of almost all doctors because of the bad treatment and speed with which former doctors wanted to put me on dangerous drugs instead of listening to ME regarding my body and my family history.  Although some of the changes that I have had to make regarding diet are not easy, i appreciate Dr. Carney's goal which is to get her patients well and healthy using the least invasive method possible.
