Carr Thomas C, DPM

Had bunion surgery with Dr. Carr. Very pleased with the outcome. Dr. Carr and his team are very professional and helpful. Thanks!

Nothing but an orthotics mill! His office totally ignored all of the history I brought in when having new orthotics made. He ignored my experiences and stated that they don’t do it that way. They made the orthotics and they had to be sent back 4 times for adjustments until I gave up. I call Dr. Carr to explain my frustration and had to leave a message, to which I never received a return call.

My appointment was at 10:00 AM. I got there early to fill out my paperwork. At 10:30, 30 minutes past my appointment time, 20 minutes after I was told that I would be next «in 5 minutes», and after an elderly woman was called for her appointment and complained that she had been waiting an hour, I cancelled my appointment, got my co-​pay back, and I left the office. This type of rude, disrespectful, double and triple booking should not be tolerated. It is simple greed and should not be tolerated.

Dr. Thomas Carr… Listen to your patient when they say they dont feel well. Very disappoWrite a comment…

I saw Dr. Thomas Carr for surgery for a ingrown toe nail, The surgery was painless. The recovery was awful. When I went for my 1 week follow up and complained that I felt 10 times worse than when I came in Dr, Carr insisted that I was healing fine and it just takes time. Fast forward 2 days later still feeling awful I saw my Internist. I had a temperature of 101.5 and a raging infection along my cuticle .I was put on a strong antibiotic and after 5 days started feeling better. Lesson learned-​be your own advocate and get a second opinion. Shame on you Dr. Carr!

Years of walking in heels and a «buck up, soldier» mentality left me with a huge swollen nerve in my left foot. Dr. Carr and his office came highly recommended, and I can see why. The office itself is pretty and everyone with whom I dealt was very friendly.
Dr. Carr was very personable. He explained everything to me as we were going (foot x-​ray, neat-​o!) and even gave me a «cheat sheet» to use if I had any issues with insurance (i.e., a sheet explaining what a neuroma is and why I’d just had cortisone shots to the nerve). I had no issues, but it was nice that his office went to the trouble of helping patients out premtively.
Should parts of my feet ever again rebel, I’ll definitely be back to Dr. Carr to have things set right.

I saw Dr. Carr because I thought I might need bunion surgery. He was super nice, professional, etc. and calmy told me there was no way around the surgery. That it was going to get worse as I aged and that I should get this taken care of right away.
Well, a friend convinced me to get a second opinion and I went to see her friend the head of podiatry at Northwestern. He told me that my bunion was not all that bad and that it probably wouldn’t get any worse and that the pain and hell I would go through with this very painful surgery was not worth it! When I asked him why Dr. Carr told me I had to have this surgery he said, «If you go to a barber and ask them if you need a haircut, what do you think they are going to say?». He also told me the pain I was having in my big toe was from arthritis (saw it on the x-​ray) NOT the bunion and that the surgery would not relieve this pain. Carr never mentioned I had arthritis!
I was horrified. I cancelled my surgery and a year later. my bunion is just the same.
Think twice about undergoing surgery with Dr. Karr. he’s a bit quick to put you under the knife!

Saw Dr. Carr today about a lingering ankle sprain, and he was great. He was kind and knowledgeable and spent more time with me than I expect from a doctor. I had to have x-​rays and an ultrasound, and he was good about talking to me about results of both – evening bringing me the x-​ray to look at. He seemed determined that I leave satisfied with a treatment plan. We’ll see how my follow-​up goes, but I’d definitely recommend him.
