Dr Carobene showed my the area of concern on my MRI & explained everything in terms I understood. She presented my options w/ pro & cons for each & clearly addressed all of my questions. I knew she was running behind schedule, but she was still extraordinarily patient in addressing my concerns. In an era of rushed doctor visits- Dr Carobene’s time w/ me was a much welcomed experience

She is knowledge and takes time to listen and do an exam to find out where the pain is. It was a disc problem not muscle. She wrote a script for physical therapy only to find out nothing available in McHenry, Huntley or Woodstock until late September or October and only after an evaluation by a spine therapist. At least she was concerned and asked a lot of questions.

She's a brilliant physician. She's so observant she can often finish your sentence for you and explain it better than you could yourself. I don't know what I would do without her. I spent 20 years trying to find out what was going on and she got me further in a single visit than two decades of physicians/specialists

She is supposed to be a pain management doctor, and she will not give me any pain medicine. And she gives no reason why she won’t. She’s a poor communicator. I am no longer going to see her. I wasted four months and I’m still in pain. She is a waste of time.
