  • “Dr. Carrera is just wonderful. He explains everything so well and with such a warmth. He pulled up my MRI and showed me exactly what was going on and fully understood it. He also put me at ease with some of the other medical issues I've had happening at the same time. The whole staff is just as on point. Very professional, but real. The nurse remembered me as soon as I walked in and was so down to earth with me. It was exactly what I needed. I would absolutely recommend him and this practice. Pain can be scary, but he takes his time, really listens to you and gives you options. Dr. Carrera is doing what he was meant to do."

  • "Doctor was great staff also! I had a steroid neck injection and didn’t even need sedation - although it was an option. He explained the whole process as it was going on -It was a piece of cake! Also the surgery center at advent hospital is very nice."

I love that they have X-Ray capabilities on-site. I left my appointment feeling like I got everything I needed and thinking to myself it would be great if all offices offered this kind of patient experience!”

  • “After several months of physical therapy I was still not able to return to my normal routine of exercise. Dr Carrera listened to me, reviewed previous records and was able to come up with a plan. While I'm still not better it felt great to be heard and affirmed. I'm excited about the future and look forward to seeing Dr Carrera again after a new MRI. I finally have hope that there is a solution in my future. Thank you Dr Carrera”

Why patients choose Dr. Carrera's team

  • Seen quickly. Most new patients are evaluated within two weeks of referral, and procedures are typically scheduled within one week of the initial visit. At many Denver and Colorado Springs practices, patients wait 2 to 3 months just to be seen.

  • Direct to injection. If a surgeon sends a patient with an injection order, the team can often schedule the procedure within one week - without requiring a separate consultation first.

  • In-office procedure suite. Many injections are performed in the office using fluoroscopy (live X-ray), which means lower costs compared to a surgery center and no hospital visit.

  • Team-based care. Dr. Carrera leads a team of physician assistants and medical assistants who communicate constantly about every patient. Your care is coordinated across the team so nothing falls through the cracks, regardless of who you see at a given visit.

  • One practice for spine, joint, and nerve pain. No need to see three different doctors. Dr. Carrera's team handles the full range of non-surgical pain conditions.

  • Non-opioid, procedure-focused approach. The goal is to identify and treat the source of your pain directly rather than covering it up with medications.
