Dr. Carmichael is thorough, patient, an extremely gifted diagnostician, and an excellent listener. For example, when he orders lab tests, he sends patients copies of the full results along with his hand-written annotations so that "regular" people can understand the implications of a particular score. He is conservative about writing prescriptions; unlike some doctors, he will not prescribe antibiotics for a viral infection, just to give you something to take. His approach is holistic and long-term with each patient, and I hope he is able to pass along this philosophy to the medical students he teaches at Columbia and Cornell. Dr. Carmichael has been my primary physician for 20 years, and everyone to whom I've recommended him has been impressed and pleased by their experience with him.
