Amy is a very knowledgeable physician, but she’s so much more than just a “doctor”. She is my mother’s primary care provider and she treats her very holistically. Mom has chronic illness and many challenges with life, but Amy puts her in the driver’s seat and allows her to make decisions after being presented the options. She coaches her to be her best version of herself and to live life as happily as she can. She gives her massage to ease discomfort/pain and she recommends nutritional tips also. She’s always very available to us and it gives us great ease and comfort to know she’s only a phone call away! In Mom’s words, “Amy is a friend to me, she takes time with me and listens to what I say, I trust her and feel very confident in her care”. We couldn’t ask for a better health care provider, she uses evidence based medicine and provides the best all-inclusive care a person/family could ask for!

“Dr. Amy has helped with my son’s health issues. She spent time with us discussing his history, reviewing his charts, researching his disease and finding ways to improve his mobility and overall health. Being able to stay in contact, receiving feedback, having prescriptions filled quickly has been so helpful. Her dedication and kindness have helped tremendously. This is a relationship better than any doctor/patient relationship I could have ever hoped for. So glad to have this type of practice locally. “

“Dr. Carpenter’s integrative approach has helped my family and I heal the root cause of seasonal illness rather than the symptoms. She approaches health with the understanding of the mind and body connection. She always spends so much time researching, sending helpful links and talking to me about which approach would work best for ME and my family. Her energy is calm and present and we are so grateful for her!”

“Amy invests the time needed with her patients. – Dr. Amy explains every procedure and test in great detail, helping me to see what she was trained to see – Dr. Amy is incredibly accessible, engaged, and genuinely concerned about my health. It is comforting to be able to speak directly to my doctor when I have an issue. – Having routine tests and labs done through Dr. Amy is very cost-effective. Having seen how Dr. Amy has treated me, my wife, who is on Medicare, has now become a patient. I would highly recommend Dr. Amy to anyone!”

“I have been a patient at Carpenter Family Care since it first opened. I consider my decision to entrust my healthcare to Dr. Amy Carpenter to be an excellent one. Many medical facilities use the word “care” in their business name, but Dr. Carpenter exemplifies the word. She is a great listener. It has been my experience that few doctors in conventional practice have more than 15 minutes to actually discuss your problems. I am sure they wish they had more time for you, but they just don’t. Not feeling hurried is one of the greatest advantages to seeing Dr. Carpenter. When you feel heard, and can ask questions you can get to the bottom of things. She addresses each question with respect and doesn’t make you feel foolish for asking.
I am a geriatric patient with a Medicare Advantage Plan. I can see a doctor for zero copay, but I feel that my membership still is worth every cent. If your take advantage of the discounts on medicine and in office procedures you can actually save more than the membership costs. Many uncomplicated things can be taken care of with a phone call or a text, saving you an office visit. This also allows you to get medicine more quickly and avoid sitting in a waiting room full of sick people.
Dr. Carpenter has saved me a lot of Urgent Care visits. She understands that people get sick outside of office hours. I try not to abuse her kindness, but was even able to get a prescription phoned to the pharmacy on New Years Eve right before closing time.
I am deeply grateful for the care I have received. I have recommended Dr. Carpenter to friends and family.”

”I have never experienced a doctor who is so much more than a doctor. Never have I been more than a face and number to someone in the health care industry. Amy has been a life line to me. From the first phone call, that lasted 20 minutes, to my current care. Not only has she assisted me with low cost blood work and health care needs she has contacted me to see how I am doing through text and emails. She has sent me information to further my knowledge on specific topics and answered messages on her days off and while on vacation. She has been more than effective when scheduling appointments that fit my schedule. She even came to her office on one of her days off to see my son. Amy is more than a doctor, she is a friend and I appreciate the way she has helped me get my health back without being more in debt financially. Her low cost health care is optimal. ”

“At first, direct primary care seemed like a neat idea, but I had no experience with it. Now, I’m convinced it is both effective and convenient – especially when working with Dr. Amy Glaser-Carpenter. Dr. Carpenter is a thoughtful listener, an inquisitive practitioner, and a compassionate person. She is open to implementing both traditional and alternative practices, depending upon a patient’s needs. With Dr. Carpenter, I truly feel valued as a patient and person.”

“My experience at Carpenter Family Care has been great! Dr. Glaser-Carpenter provides a calming, genuine, and laid-back atmosphere which has taken the cold and impersonal aspect out of my healthcare. On top of the relaxed visit, I was given a variety of treatment options that I may not have learned about otherwise.”

“To date I have been nothing but amazed by my overall experience with Carpenter Family Care! Dr. Glaser-Carpenter has always given me her undivided time and attention and answers all the questions one may have, even if it is about a different health concern. I also greatly appreciate that options are given, I am not told this is the fix, Amy shares a few treatment options and explains the pros/cons of each one and assists you in making the best plan to meet your personal needs. No only that, the cost is so reasonable and there is never a question about how much it will be when I arrive; I already know.”

“Carpenter Family Care is exactly what I’ve been looking for in a doctor. I’ve been doing research and reading on alternative healthcare options that aren’t offered in a typical doctor’s office, and Dr. Carpenter’s direct patient care is the perfect fit for me. She is not rushed during appointments and has the time to really listen to my concerns and needs. I appreciate the focus on personal diet and lifestyle choices to treat and prevent any health issues that might come up. I feel it’s very important for a doctor to form a partnership with the patient and work one on one with them in their journey of a healthy life, and this is what Dr. Carpenter has offered me.”
