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, Advanced 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, Advanced Primary Care patient
“It is wonderful to have home visits. It has relieved a lot of anxiety to know we can call whenever we need you.”
—Bob, Palliative 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, Advanced 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, Advanced Primary Care patient
“After my cancer diagnosis…the discomforts, the pain, my whole thought process, my memory…it's hard to describe. My nurse practitioner told me to call at any time no matter what it is — no matter how small or how big. And I can only imagine what it would've been like not to have had these guys.”
—Ron, Palliative Care patient
“It is so helpful to be able to call when I need something or have a question. My fear factor drops way down. Your care has kept me out of the hospital. ”
—Trudy, Palliative Care patient
“My nurse practitioner was terrific. She did everything and probably kept me out of the hospital a few times. It just changed everything. I felt better. I knew they’d be there. They gave me a magnet to put on my refrigerator and said to call anytime, seven days a week, around the clock.”
—Margaret, Palliatve 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
