    Dr. Carey is the sweetest, most caring specialist anyone could ask for!! She listens, answers questions explains things so I can understand them. She is friendly and sweet. She allows me to help make decisions about my care, and if what I would like to try could potentially be harmful, she will let me know, and then set a goal. I never feel rushed and like she is trying to hurry the appointment to get me out the door. I recommend her 100% to everyone who is in need to be cared for by an Infectious Disease/Immunology Specialist! Even if there is a 2-3 month waiting list to get in to see her, she is worth the wait!!
