Reviews
Courteous and attentive. My questions were well addressed by Dr. Carriere & Staff. Thank you.
Starting from the first call to the office, meeting Dr. Carrier, booking my procedures, accommodating my schedule to get everything done before school starts because I'm a teacher was perfect. I was so scared after receiving my results and everyone along the way was kind, compassionate, and informative. Even when I had to call after hours twice, the doctor called me back with 10 mins which is basically unheard of nowadays. They worked with my pharmacy to change medicine 3xs to get one that my insurance would cover. This practice gets an EXCELLENT rating in my opinion.
Had an endoscopy and colonoscopy done same day at the Metairie center with Dr Carriere and was a great experience. Everything was thoroughly explained to me. Staff was great as well.
Staff took forever to bring me back but Sr. Carriere is worth the wait. He is amazing!
Excellent! Very professional.
