    I have my mobility back!!!!

    My knee pain was so severe in my right knee that I did not realize how successful the surgery I had on my left knee the year before was. I thought I was destined for a life of constant pain until after the surgery on my right knee. Three days after the surgery I was able to walk down the stairs with minimal pain. I don't have to rely on a handrail to pull myself up the stairs and to keep from falling going down the stairs. My quick recovery time has amazed my family and coworkers.

    The most complete and easy surgery I have ever had

    In my opinion, Dr. Carr is the best surgeon I have ever seen. Explained things clearly, explained the risks and rewards, and overall has been a very good experience.

    No more knee pain!

    Dr Carr was able to quickly and accurately diagnose the cause of my knee pain. He performed a laporoscopic surgery to clean up the tear in my meniscus. I only required pain medication and crutches for the first 24 hours, then I was able to transition over to Advil. This was the easiest surgery and recovery time that I have experienced out of the 5 surgeries that I have had.

    I am very pleased with my mobility of the lack of knee pain after my total knee replacement.

    My experience with Dr. Carr and his professional team has been exceptional. After total knee replacement, it is delightful to awaken each morning without knee pain. I would definitely not be hesitant to have the other knee replaced by Dr. Carr, should it become necessary in the future.

    Wish I had procedure done sooner

    Fell and hurt my knee. Thought it would heal by it's self - NOT. After waiting 8 months with pain I finally came to Dr. Carr. Best decision I ever made.

    Awesome Experience! - Dr. Carr and staff - super great!

    I had my left knee replaced 4 years ago by Dr. Carr. My new knee totally took away the pain and changed my life for the better. When my right knee got to the point it also needed to be totally replaced, Dr. Carr was my choice again due to my great experience with my left knee. He is the best Orthopedic Surgeon in my opinion of any Ortho surgeon. I highly recommend Dr. Carr and his wonderful staff for any surgical procedure. He is the best of the best!

    Always have complete trust in DR. Carr & his staff

    For the last twenty or so years my family and myself have had Dr. Carr at any time we had orthopedic problems. He and his staff have always given us great service, even working us in at late notice in what we considered an immediate need. Everyone is courteous, anxious to do whatever left undone until the problem was as it should be. I have recommended Dr. Carr to several people and they became his patient with satisfaction.

    Great

    Doctor Carr comes highly recommended. Dr. Carr performed surgery on my right knee. I had a complete knee replacement in Nov. 2016. I was so pleased with Dr. Carr and his complete staff that I am scheduled to have surgery on my left knee in November. I have the utmost respect and confidence in Dr. Carr as a professional. He made the process easy and he was always there to explain and comfort me when I had questions. I am a forever greatful patient

    A life changing experience with great professional support.

    Dr. Carr and staff were very professional and warm people. Dr Carr explained my condition to me very thoroughly my options. My care before during and after my surgery was great. I am 6 months into my new left hip and I fell great. I have been able to resume a lot of my normal activity with no problems. The therapist that his office referred me to was excellent, just like the service his office had shown me. I fell that I have regained my life back. I wholly recommend his office.

    Professional and caring

    I was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel 20 years ago, but thought I knew better by going to Physical Therapy instead of having surgery. The numbness and tingling went away for years so I didn't worry about it. Then I was diagnosed with CT again. Again, I went to Physical Therapy. This time the pain in my hands was a new symptom and did not go away. I came to see Dr. Carr and he took the time to tell me about the damage that was being done. I had the surgery on both hands and had major success!

    Excellent Orthopaedic surgeon and staff. Raises the bar.

    Surgery is always stresfull, but Dr. Carr and his staff are some of the best in the field at putting most concerns and fears at rest before and after a surgery, BTW, I have had the opportunity to experience their skills both pre and post operative twice. Excellent results both times. I have and will continue to recomend Dr. Gregg Carr and his staff to anyone who is considering orthopaedic surgery.

    Best place to be when your knees hurt! H

    Had a shoulder repair from Dr. Carr several months ago, great recovery. When knees started giving me trouble, I appeared at his office again. I had a total knee repair four weeks ago. I now walk without a cane, drive my car alone and do not limp L will be back in a few months to evaluate the other knee! Can't ask for more blessings than that! Janis Miller

    I feel that the JFT injections have allowed me to postpone knee replacement by allowing me to manage my pain.

    I would highly recommend Dr. Carr. Dr. Carr and his staff deserve a gold star. Each one were very helpful and demonstrated that they really care. Even though the shots were painful for a short time, if you keep relaxed it will be less painful. I am able to do the things I love like mow grass, see grandchildren's sport games and enjoy life even though I have bone on bone. I believ the injections have helped for me.

    surgery went well and care was excellent

    This is the second surgery that Dr. has performed for me. I also tore the meniscus in my right knee. From the time of diagnosis to the surgery I received excellent care. Dr. Carr explains everything thoroughly and always answered any questions that I had. His staff is always courteous and there to answer anything they can help with. I wouldn't let anyone else do this type of surgery on me or any other member of my family.,

    Mary Ann Fleisher: Complete Knee Replacement

    I am a patient of Dr. Gregg Carr and I had a complete knee replacement June 4, 2018. I had put off having surgery for three years. It had gotten to the point that I was not going to have a platform for Dr. Carr to build a knee on. I am so glad that I decided to have the surgery. I am now six weeks out of surgery and could not be more pleased with the results of the surgery. I am now able to walk without a limp and pain. I now have my quality of life back. Thanks to Dr. Carr.

    I wish i had done the surgery sooner. It is great!

    I have had big toe pain for 3 years, sometimes even a sheet laying against made it hurt. I put off surgery. I got to where it really hurt to even put my foot into a shoe. Since Dr Car did my Hemi-Cap Toe Replacement surgery. I now have no pain and it has only been 2 weeks since my surgery. The surgery was not painful. I only took 3 of the pain pills the night of the surgery and rested my foot. I am so excited that I am now pain free and have a great range of motion back in my toe.

    Dr. Gregg was patient with all my concerns about lymphedema in that knee. He was absolutely right about it being safe to operate. I have no pain whatsoever and that is a blessing indeed! Recommend him heartily to all my friends or anyone who will listen!

    Extremely Satisfied

    I was extremely satisfied with the entire process of examining my knee problem. Everyone seems to really care about the patient and the explanations I received about my knee were very easy to follow, especially for a non medical person. Dr. Carr seemed to go the extra mile in explaining what my knee problem was, how he was going to treat it, explaining the surgery, and what I can expect afterwards. I will most certainly be back if I have any additional problems with my knee or anything else.
