Dr. Carpenter has performed 2 spinal fusions on my neck. The first was single-level fusion and the 2nd, 2 years later, was a three-level fusion. The goal of both was to alleviate severe pain down both shoulders and arms. I was able to have surgeries done at the Olympia Orthopedic Surgery Center which made things so much easier. Dr. Carpenter's assuring demeanor enabled me to feel confident in my decisions to have the procedures. Recovery was without complication and my pain has almost totally subsided.
I came to Dr. Carpenter with aprogressive, collapsing scoliosis. The treatment he proposed amounted to rebuilding most of my spine. He was professional and personable, and he graciously provided me with a recommendation for a second opinion. When symptoms indicated increasing nerve involvement, he wasted no time in scheduling a surgery for spinal fusion from the base of my neck to my tailbone, which he said was the biggest surgery you could perform on a spine. Without his confidence in his own skills and experience, as well as his belief in my ability to heal and return to an independent life, it would not have been possible. I highly recommend Dr. Carpenter. He listens well, explains technical terms clearly and without jargon, and considers his patients' unique needs and life circumstances when prescribing treatment.
