    Dr. Carper was always patient with MD and listened to my concerns. I went through a hospital stay in ICU and went through a dramatic medical incident. Following that, I went to a lot of different specialists. Most were good. When I finally found Dr. Carper I was relieved. He was patient while I explained my history and my concerns. There wasn't much that Dr. Carper could medically do for me but that is about what happened to me and not his ability. He helped me feel better emotionally by simply letting me feel heard.
