Carroll David J Podiatrist

Dr. Carroll examined my foot and then proceeded to do a minor treatment on it. He did not give me the prescription I requested, despite the fact that I had used it before from another doctor.
He was very interested in asking me to schedule a «follow-​up» visit, presumably to generate additional income. I insisted that I needed the prescription and told he me he would «give me» something in the office. I interpreted that as a free medication, but was charged $ 25 for something that I could easily purchase over the counter for a much lesser price.
Dr. Carroll did not listen well and did not follow my suggestions or requests. I would recommend not making an appointment with him and finding a doctor who is more skilled at offering an aggressive and speedier treatment plan that is also less costly to the patient.

This is a mixed review. I really had no issue with Dr. Carroll’s treatment of my foot issue. The issue I have is with the staff and practice. I get a bill for my treatment. Great, let me just call them up and take care of it. The lady on the phone stated that they do not accept credit card payments – that I can mail in a check or drop it off at the office. I have never heard of a Dr’s office not taking payments via plastic. WTF? So instead of it taking me 3 minutes over the phone, I have to write a check (if I can find my checkbook – I dont think ive written a check for years), go buy a stamp to mail the fricken check or drive by the office. But wait theres more. Then I have to wait until said check clears, then I have to fill out a form to be reimbursed by my HSA carrier and wait some more. Well, either do all that or just wait for it to go to collection and call the collection agency with my credit card when I get that bill. The cost of a credit card transaction is much less then the percentage the bill collector gets when they collect. Can you please join the 21^st century and accept plastic?
Looks like I will be in the market for a new Podiatrist.

I made an appointment to see Dr. Carroll due to some ongoing leg pain that had been causing my ankle to buckle underneath with any strenuous activity. Not only did he not listen to me, he spent about three minutes in the office with me and completely disregarded all of my symptoms, comments, and questions. His only recommendation was to do some strengthening exercises. When I questioned whether I might have a tendon injury that could be causing the pain, his only response was to say that we’d «address that down the line». The entire experience was awful and a waste of a $ 20 copay. I left the office feeling as though I had not been listened to, that my pain and experience meant nothing to this doctor, and that he only gave me the courtesy of the three minutes for insurance billing purposes.
I called my primary care physician requesting an appointment for a 2^nd opinion and was treated with the respect, care, and diligence that I have come to expect based on my excellent experiences with her thus far. Apparently not all physicians measure up to the same bar.
After my doctor evaluated my symptoms I was diagnosed with tendonitis, prescribed to a physical therapy plan, and given helpful suggestions as to how I can reduce my discomfort and avoid stressing the injury. Dr Carroll, a supposed specialist, did not even mention the words tendonitis or physical therapy.

I went to Dr. Calrroll for about 3 – 4 months for a treatment of callus. All I can say my situation became more painful under his treatment and he was not able to help me at all. He is very negative and pessimistic and would not even answer my questions. After 3 months he suggested surgery and when I asked him if I will be able to walk again — he said he cannot tell me what the outcome will be but I can try.
So, I switched podiatrists and was treated within 2 visits — I have had no complains ever since.
This doctor is only interested in billing your insurance company — he is not interested in treating you because if he did he will lloose you a s a patient. Sorry — harsh but true.
