When I saw Dr Irving soon after the surgery, he took x-rays and said everything was fine and didn't need to see me for follow up. He sent me to pain medicine doctor in New Haven who did nothing. My pain increased recently and x-rays revealed a heterotopic ossification which is a complication due to that surgery.

I started my vein procedures in March 2019. Since I was having both legs done the process occurred…read morewith multiple appointments over a two month period or so. The procedures themselves were relatively simple and painless, just slight temporary discomfort. Throughout all of my appointments and follow up check ups the nurses, PAs, assistants all said everything looked great. I was somewhat happy with the results. Some of the discoloration did not go away as they indicated but they said I could receive more injections of some sort. Then I went in for the three month follow up appointment. A new PA examined my legs and told me that both veins opened up and the entire process needed to be done again. Skeptically I asked why is this being stated today when a month ago everything looked great. "Sometimes this happens". This was never explained to me previously. At that moment I lost all trust and confidence in this practice. A year later the pain in one of my legs is worse than it ever was before the procedures. In hindsight I never should have minimally considered other medical groups. If I decide to seek further treatment I will do so at another facility.

I have a long history of back pain and I've seen a lot of chiropractors over the years. Dr…read more Carpenos is as good as it gets. What sets him apart from other doctors is that he TRULY cares about his patients and will do anything to get them healthy. I have crappy insurance that doesn't cover any part of my treatment, and he worked with me to devise a payment plan that I could afford. He didn't have to - but he did. I had a slipped disc in my back that was pinching a nerve. At my lowest point, I was in so much pain that I could not bear my own weight or walk. My only other option besides the spinal decompression treatments was disc replacement surgery (which would mean months of unpaid medical leave from my job and the inability to financially support myself). The therapy did take months, but I am now in little to no pain. (Think about it - if you break your arm, does it heal overnight? No, it takes time.) I've had back pain for more than 15 years and for the first time since my freshman year of high school I now know what it is like to live pain-free. Honestly, I am surprised to see negative reviews here. Dr. Carp's demeanor and personality are direct (but not uncompassionate) and I can see how some people may not respond well to that. But if you actually just spend 10 minutes talking with him, you realize how passionate he is about making HUGE differences in people's lives and well-being. He has saved my life in so many ways - my physical health, my mental health, my financial stability, my independence..... I could go on and on. He's a great guy and a great doctor.

I had a deeply disappointing and costly experience with Dr. Carpenos at New England Spine and Disc…read more I came in with leg pain caused by two degenerating discs pinching a nerve. During my initial visit, Dr. Carpenos recommended spinal decompression therapy -- a treatment not covered by insurance. He then started to talk to me like a snake oil salesman: fast and confusing. I explained that I had a very limited budget and needed clarity before committing. So I asked him to slow down and I asked some very specific questions about how the treatment wold work, what the success rate typically was, and what I could expect if I decided to follow the treatment plan. Instead of answering my questions calmly, he became visibly annoyed and said he felt "pressured" by me. I reminded him that it was MY body and my very limited, hard-earned money -- and I was the one feeling pressured to spend it without him having the patience to explain this therapy that insurance wouldn't even cover a significant portion of. His first response was to say that financial hardship shouldn't be a barrier to treatment. When I said I'd have to decline since I couldn't afford the full amount he wanted (Close to 4,000 as I recall) he suggested fewer visits for about half the price. , When I expressed concern and asked if I'd still get relief he assured me I would, so I agreed to take part in the treatment. But at the end of the treatment, I felt no improvement. When I reminded him of his earlier assurance, he said, "I expected that you'd feel a bit better, see the results, want more improvement, and then commit to the final visits." He'd completely ignored my statement at the beginning that there WAS no more money. I felt completely misled and taken advantage of. The experience was not only financially draining but physically uncomfortable. His chiropractic adjustments were rushed, and during one session, he failed to check the placement of my arms during a bear hug/anterior thoracic adjustment. When "hugged" me sharply my fists were jammed into my voice box which hurt so I reflexively pushed back. He asked what was wrong and I explained what had happened. The following week, he asked if my cold was better. When I looked at him, confused, he said "Well, last week you had a sore throat, didn't you?" [It was surreal, like he just was unable to take any responsibility for his own actions.] He also gave questionable medical advice outside his expertise -- once telling me not to use sunscreen despite a family history of skin cancer -- and another time I heard him telling his staff that he'd advised another patient to ignore their cancer doctor's recommendations and to follow his own. Dr. Carpenos' demeanor throughout my treatment was pushy, rude, and evasive when asked direct questions. His team failed to track the decompression machine's pressure settings, so I had to remember my own numbers to ensure proper progression -- a detail that made me feel my investment wasn't respected. If you read his responses to other negative reviews, you'll see a pattern: sarcasm, deflection, and a refusal to take responsibility. I strongly caution anyone considering treatment here. While some patients may find relief, many don't -- and Dr. Carpenos seems far more focused on securing payment than on assessing whether spinal decompression is truly appropriate for your condition.
