What our patients have to say
“Every doctor I’ve seen is very caring. It was a big change. They want to keep checking on you and keep you healthy. Before Carelon Health I was going downhill, and I know there’re a lot of people out there having the same kinds of problems. Hopefully they’ll come here because they’ll get help. Carelon Health is healthcare the way it should be.”
—Mary, Primary Care patient
“I’ve been with Carelon Health for about nine years. They monitor my diabetes. They respond to my calls over a medical issue and take care of it instantaneously. I’m not afraid to go to the doctor anymore. It’s just a really satisfying place to be.”
—Steven, Primary Care patient
“My quality of life was poor. I couldn't function. I was homebound and mostly bedridden. Finding Carelon Health was life changing because they really listened to what was going on with me. They helped find the diagnosis and the means to help me improve my life and get back on my feet.”
—Katherine, Primary Care patient
“My nurse practitioner made a tremendous difference in my life and in the quality of my life. That means a lot. I’m not treated like a number; I’m treated like a person. When I’m in need, I believe Carelon Health will always be there for me.”
—Jackie, Primary Care patient
“Carelon Health as a life-changing experience for me, for the good. There’re no guarantees if I don't take care of myself, but I'm back to recovery. Every day's a better day.”
—Frank
