I was impressed by how thorough Dr. Carey was. He listened carefully and gave my MRI a careful review. He detected an aneurysm that another neuro-ophthalmologist outside Johns Hopkins didn't catch on my MRI. He was also quite good with the resident that was with him treating him with respect. I am incredibly grateful for being referred to Dr. Carey and feel I am now in good hands.

My appt. Was for 10:15am. Dr. Carey did not come to the examining room until after 12:15. Two hours is too long to tie up a patient's time! He did not apologize when I told him that or offer an explanation for thedelay. The assistant was apologetic for the doc.

Dr. Carey is THE best! My appointment was a referral from another physician for an evaluation of a prior diagnosis. Dr. Carey had carefully reviewed all prior reports and testing done on me, as well as those provided in his office. He thoroughly explained his opinion and sent his comprehensive report to any/all physicians I requested receive it. I most highly recommend him. (I was forewarned the appointment might run late because he takes as much times as needed for each and every patient. He is totally worth any wait!)
