What our patients say
The experience was fabulous. My whole quality of life has changed for the better, thanks to Carrum. Everyone was professional, helpful, and very very careful. It’s the best decision I have ever made, and I’m proud to say that. Thank you for saving my life.
Fidelia
I had surgery for my left hip about two years ago through normal insurance. Recently, I needed surgery on the other hip. This time, I used Carrum Health, and the difference was night and day. I hope I never need another surgery, but if I do, I’m certainly going to use Carrum Health again.
Joe
Going through surgery with Carrum Health was so easy. They took away all of the stress I’m used to feeling so I could just breathe and focus on getting better. And when I go to the mailbox, I don’t have to worry about getting a single bill.
