Each visit with Dr Dicarlo has been thorough and informative. I do not feel rushed at all, a thorough exam and discussion always take place. We discussed multiple treatments and the pros/cons of each.

Dr. DiCarlo is the best doctor I've ever had for anything. He explained everything to me in a way I would understand. He is the first doctor I've seen since my injury that put effort into my care. He is the first doctor that has made me feel encouraged through this injury. He is the first doctor to not dismiss me and actually care about the patient. He did a thorough exam that made me feel at ease. He is an incredible doctor and I would shout it from the rooftops if I could.

Did not feel like I was rushed through the appt. He was very thorough in his exam and found issues not previously diagnosed. And he understood need to get treatment scheduled within my short timeframe.
