    November 15, 2025 - "Dr Carrera is kind, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to answer all of our questions (and there were a lot!) and was so gentle and respectful with my mom. His consideration for her dignity and how careful he was to ensure she maintained her confidence in her recovery were particularly extraordinary. I am extremely grateful we have UofM hospital and practitioners such as Dr Carrera within driving distance."
