Dr. Allen Edward Carignan, MD

Dr. Carignan chooses to be a physician that is trying to be part of the solution...instead being a contributor to the problem. He is a doctor who truly tries to help you manage your pain by other means than dishing out piles of opioids for a kickback or for higher practise billing rates. He is REAL and HONEST with his patients and is not there to feed you a line of crap with a side of percocet. I have been his patient for some time now, and I am grateful that there is at least one doctor who cares enough to try and help me instead of making me just another statistic.

This doctor needs to go back to pain management training. And he needs a personality adjustment. He mis prescribed me Pain meds that equaled less than half my dose of pain meds. It landed me in the ER. said what he thought of me but would not discuss why. Said I would have no breakthrough pain( what a joke) and said I would not have withdrawls. in addition to the fact I am allergic to adhesives and he said well try it for a week.( ended up with a rash and blisters)

I don't recall ever having an experience with a doctor like I did this guy. He was condescending, cold, and not interested in hearing what I had to say. I don't know what makes him like this but it is enough to scare me off. The staff was great and helpful but even they cannot make up for the dissatisfaction I felt with this doctor. Save yourself some grief and go somewhere else. I honestly do not believe he cares about you or your condition or how you feel. I am in extreme pain and I have to wait a few days longer to see another doctor. But quite honestly I feel it is worth it. I don't know how a doctor who is so bad was people can be a very effective clinician. After years and years of bad reviews you would think he would learn something oh, but it does not appear to be the case.

He’s condescending only cares about his beliefs on pain management. Doesn’t look at the individual person who has chronic pain and is diagnosed as such. Would never recommend him to anyone not even my enemy

Excellent physician.

he never examined me but rather cut me back by over half my meds on my first visit with him. my second visit was the same. his bedside manner is so rude that he wouldn't even shake my hand. he never talked to be but at me. told me I don't have the pain I have, then when I asked what I could do to help this agony he said, "well, sometimes we just don't get the help we need" then walked out. I will NOT be seeing him again, too bad because I've been going to this pain facility for 10 years. No one should be treated this way

Physician was unprepared, didn't have any knowledge about my illnesses, didn't do an exam. Was demeaning and degrading per my experience I recommend him to no body.

Horrible experience. He was condescending, made assumptions, talked at me and not with me. I would characterize him as s bully.

I was referred to Seacoast pain by my neurologist. Originally she wanted me to see Dr. Tobin but this doctor was the one on for the day. I was there for a new patient consultation. I expected to discuss my injury and treatment options available. He would not answer my question about physical therapy, and when I asked him a question about the shot and how it would effect my spinal cord he snapped at me saying, " this is why we don't want our patients reading their reports." Rude is an understatement. BIG RED FLAG ON THIS ONE.

Very caring and thoughtful doctor. He helped me get over my back pain. Got my life back. Would highly recommend.

DO NOT SEE HIM!!! He is the rudest DOCTOR i have ever met. Very ignorant and VERY unprofessinal! Had no time to answer questions, treated me like a child and very arrogant!

My wife and I visited with Dr. Carignan only to find him treating my wife like a drug addict, rather than a human being in pain. His prejudice and assumptions were unprofessional and negligent, and the things he said to us during our visit were open insults. His attitude was unacceptable, and for him to look down on us based on his prejudice of my wife leaves me to ask him "how dare you sir?". The fact that he was treating my wife as if she was someone looking to score drugs, rather than looking for legitimate pain relief is NEGLIGENT. I will not go on with any more details, however our entire visit was about a half hour long insult session. How dare you sir? We are UPSTANDING citizens, and human beings. If you knew the first thing about my wife and I, I assure you sir, your attitude would be much different.But that is beside the point, to treat ANYONE in this manner is UNACCEPTABLE. You are a professional, as am I. And in my profession I would never treat someone that seeks out my help in this manner.Please climb down from where your ego is, and practice mindfulness and respect for your fellow human beings. Honestly!

I am a recovering stroke patient with severe post-stroke pain in addition to severe fibromyalgia. I transferred from another pain clinic and was stuck with this doctor. He laughed in my face while I was hysterical crying in pain. He said he did NOT believe in fibro pain and laughed in my face again as he walked out the door. I was left to fend for myself. I left the previous pain clinic because my provider left and I didn't want to see anyone else, so my PCP referred me to this uncaring monster. He laughed and said that he would have an ambulance take me to the ER so I can see a psychiatrist. I was thrown into withdrawal and had a severe grand mal seizure.

Its a shame he is moving, but he is on to bigger and better things. He will be missed...
