James B. Carr

Dr. Carr did a tendon repair. When his PA removed my dressing, she saw infection starting and failed to prescribe antibiotics. My arm is worse now than before my surgery.

I had back surgery done by Dr. Carr in 2008. He's hand down the best choice on the Central Coast and a great Dr. Bravo Dr J, you saved life. Thank you

Dr Carr is a great surgeon. He has fixed my back problem and kept me mobile. The staff is great also.

I would like to recognize the professionalism of Dr. Carr and his staff. I have been experiencing pain in my lower back and in my neck. Dr. Carr determined that a disk replacement in my neck was needed. He performed the surgery and I immediately felt relief in my neck shoulder and arm. Dr. Carr called me personally at home after the surgery to check on me. I have never had a doctor show so much concern for my well being. I highly recommend Dr. Carr.

Great surgeon !!!!!

Went from severe pain and loss o mobility. Dr Carr diagnosed issues in one visit and set a course of action immediately. Within 30 days of first visit surgery was performed and pain relief was immediate. Follow up visits have been very professional.

Very nice and professional. Excellent care and compassionate. Explains details of medical problems. Highly recommended. Follows covid precautions.

After seeing docs who seemed more interested in setting up future cash flows for themselves than solving my back pain, it was refreshing to have Dr Carr offer real, possible solutions. I chose (with the help of insurance approval) a decompression laminotomy procedure. Within 48 hours of the outpatient surgery, I could tell my previous symptoms were significantly relieved! No more feeling like my thighs might explode or give out first thing in the morning, and no need to rely on the bathroom counter for support while brushing my teeth. The doctor and his staff were accessible and easy to work with from initial consult through post-op visit. So glad a friend of mine shared Dr Carr's business card with me a few months ago!

Best dr. He gets 10 stars from me. My 2 surgeries went awesome. Best surgeon

Dr. Carr is a horrendous doctor with absolutely no care for his patients. He is rude and rushes through appointments without explaining anything. After reading some of the other reviews on here, I know I'm not alone in my experience. It's clear that his motto is "if I don't have to operate on you, don't care at all if you're in pain". I've had two appointments with him and both were awful and he told me absolutely nothing useful. Since he gave me no information, I had a list of questions I wanted to get answered. I went down my list asking them and he wouldn't even think about the question and instead just said "I don't know". When I got upset that he wasn't taking me seriously he said I should go to another doctor even after I told him I can't because of my insurance. If you have the ability to go to ANY other doctor, I highly recommend looking elsewhere. Dr. Carr is the worst doctor I've ever been to and to top it off, his scheduling person Shannon is also very rude.

I would not recommend Dr. Carr or his practice to anyone. His staff member, Shannon, is specifically very unhelpful and unprofessional. I wanted to schedule my first appointment with him and I called during their office hours and had to leave 2 voicemails over a weeks time before I heard back from anyone. Once I finally had my appointment, Dr. Carr did not take my back pain seriously at all. He didn't even do an evaluation or any tests to see if there was actually anything wrong. I have had this back injury for a year and tried many remedies. His solution was physical therapy for 6-8 weeks and said that it should be totally fine by then. (It is not better.) I had a follow up appointment that I needed to reschedule, so I emailed Shannon. She was completely unhelpful and rude. She said there was no availability for when I was hoping to reschedule and did not offer me any alternatives times. They have lost a patient and I will strongly advocate to anyone who asks not to go to Dr. Carr.

He was very thorough and what I loved about him is that he didn’t act surgery hungry and I really appreciated that from him. That means if I ever needed surgery I could count on him for doing it for the right reasons rather than to make a bundle of money

Just wanted too take a minute as this is long overdue. I planned on doing this a while back! I am very happy to have met Dr Carr and his staff. Dr carr found issues no one else had found for me. That are now getting dealt with. Thank Dr. Carr. I got my knee done Wednesday. Also wanted to say. Thankyou Dr Carr for the amazing job you performed for my wife's disc replacement. You are an amazing surgeon. As well as a very knowledgable man. Thank you and your staff for everything you had done for us. I do and will continue to recommend Dr Carr to anyone that need help to contact there office. Just wanted too take a minute as this is long overdue. I planned on doing this a while back!

decompression and fusion of L4 & L5 very pleased with the results

Outstanding physician. Excellent communicator. Compassionate.

What a great man, very easy to talk to and very professional. This Surgeon knows his stuff. I have many friends that are very happy with the quality of their experience and outcome.

Dr. Carr performed an anterior/posterior spinal fusion on my back that was totally successful. I was very reluctant to have the surgery, but his kindness and willingness to discuss the risks and benefits of the surgery were great. He checked on me frequently and while he was professional, he treated me like a friend he cared about.

Dr Carr ruined my life by implanting an artificial disc badly in my cspine. He lies and won’t help when things go bad.

I saw Dr. Carr for the first time today. I was impressed with his office staff from my first phone conversation. Now that i have met the Dr himself, i am doubly impressed. He spent quite alot of time with the physical examination and going over my x-rays and MRI in the room and explaining things he saw as he went step by step through the process then with his recomendations... he has a great peronality and a good sense of humor and patience since i kept asking. questions Great visit

I was referred to Dr. Carr for a back problem. He walked into the room and asked if the pain was down the back of my legs. I said, no. He said "call me when it does" and walked out of the room. The charge $400.00.

Prompt, professional care in an urgent situation. It's really great to have found a spinal specialist in our area who radiates compassion and competence. I could not have been more pleased.

Totally unprofessional in his lack of follow through and attention to patient care and well being. I called every day for a week to get a RX changed...everyday I wwas promised a return call. I was never given the courtesy of a return call. Totally disappointed with this doctor's compassion, professionalism , and timeliness!!!
