Dr Carney is a no nonsense practitioner that asks questions, listens and with his vast experience can see through the forest directly to a treatment plan individualized for you. Some may not care for his bedside manner because he is a straight shooter, but I love him just like he is and you will love the results he can get for you too!!

— Rhonda Glena
His depth of knowledge and courage to tackle complicated cases, like my father’s health, extended his life for years. We are forever grateful.
— Tristi Chaney Hooper
Dr. Carney is outstanding by any metric. I moved to Tyler 6 days ago and took a chance on seeing Dr. Carney without any previous knowledge about him. I have difficulty developing trust with any physician - it's who I am. Dr. Carney came in and after a few minutes conversing, I knew this was my new cardiologist that I could TRUST. I'm from Chicago so I embrace his straightforward, no nonsense approach to treating his patients. He listened to me and he shows he cares. All my questions were answered thoroughly. I can't say enough about my first impression. And because I am new to Tyler, Dr. Carney is referring me to all the other specialists I need. Because I do trust him, I am positive I am being sent to top shelf physicians.I am grateful to have met Dr. Carney and have him on my medical team.
— South Sider

My ejection fraction was at 15% before I started seeing Dr. Carney. I’m now at ~50% and it’s all thanks to him. I cannot recommend Dr. Carney highly enough, he truly is the Greatest Of All Time!
— James Rayborn
Dr. Carney has been my cardiologist for around 17 years. I fired my last cardiologist for not being available when needed. When my wife started having heart problems, I called Dr. Carney and made scheduled an appointment for her myself. Tyler Texas has many cardiologists. I won’t change cardiologists until he calls it quits. He listens when you talk and is very thorough. I can’t imagine anyone being more knowledgeable.

After having heart problems during a trip to Houston, I got a prompt appointment with Dr. Carney who reviewed my heart condition, changed my medications, scheduled tests, and referred me for additional consultation with another Doctor on staff at the clinic. I am fortunate to have Dr. Carney overseeing my case because he took the time to thoroughly review my case before aggressively taking the steps required to provide me with the superior care I need and want.

— Jennifer Taylor
I love Dr Carney. He is kind, considerate, professional. His office staff is not so good. When you call the office you get nothing but a Run A Round. Cannot talk to anyone. It does no good to leave a message. No one calls back. Dr Carney knows how bad the phone situation is and said they are working on it.
— Janet Vaughn
Went great
— George Newton WINN

— Deborah Dennis
Dr. Carney listened to me and with his many years of successful practice was able to help me understand what is going on with my heart. His staff is friendly and competent. I've been to see him 3 times this year and it is worth the hour plus drive both ways. I look forward to seeing him as my cardiologist for many years and highly recommend him for anyone who is searching.
— Mary Ann Gregg
Dr Robert Carney is genuinely interested in the over-all well being of his patients. Should he feel additional input is warranted he does not hesitate to call in another Cardiologist with a more particular Speciality, example Heart Valve. Dr Carney is a site to behold as he threads a tiny tiny wire through the tiniest of veins of a patient. His knowledge and caring attitude makes him a Top Cardiologist in Tyler, Tx. As his patient and former employee I feel very Fortunate having him as my Heart Doctor/Cardiologist.
— Cg
When I visited Dr Carney he explained every thing to me were I could understand. I wouldn't ask for a better DR.
— Doris Wright
Dr Carney took the time to explain what is going on with the veins in my heart, even giving analogies. He went over my numbers, explaining them thoroughly. Then after answering my questions, he came up with a plan to proceed that I have no doubt will add years to my life. I am resistant to traditional medicine but when I left, I knew his plan of action is exactly what is best for me! His entire staff was exceptional as well. I highly recommend Dr. Carney!
— Susan McMullen
I record my blood pressure and heart rate, then take the info with me when I see Dr Carney. It helps us both see the overall picture

— Rmhorses
Dr. Carney is the first doctor to take the time to explain, in detail, my health issues and the treatment needed to resolve what could be resolved with me. The appointments are not rushed, he discussed treatments and options in every day terms I could understand. His staff is knowledgeable and courteous. The wait times were minimal. Highly recommend.

— Dale A. Ross
Going to be in the USA for only a short time. His staff found a way to get me in quickly and my wait time in the office was minimal. He took the time to look at labs that I brought with me and based on my symptoms, recommended a change in meds. Hoping this change will get me back to a good place!
— Rick
Dr Carney is so cordial and helpful. He takes time to explain just what kind of tests he’s going to do and why. Told me what he thinks my problem is , but wants to rule out other possibilities. We appreciate his honesty and willingness to answer all of our questions.

He is a great doctor. He actually takes time to talk to you and answers all your questions. I just had a nuclear stress test and he went over everything with me. He is brutally honest with you and says DO THIS AND I WILL HELP YOU. I have high LDL cholesterol and he is helping me get it down. I have recommended him to several of my friends and will continue to do so.
— Lyle R. Witherell
Informative, knowledgeable, caring
— Rudy Miller
I just had a three year check-up with Dr. Carney, following up on my cardiac arrest on March 9th, 2018, and a subsequent open heart bypass procedure in September of 2018. This appointment went very well and he was pleased with the steady progress I have made. All my lab results were in really good shape and he encouraged me to continue doing what I am doing—eating healthy, daily exercise, and continue taking the medicines he has prescribed for me. I was very pleased! Dr. Carney is very straightforward, but is also compassionate when it comes to dealing with me and my family! Glad to have him as my cardiologist!
— Rick Ellis

My wife and I use Dr. Carney as our cardiologist. He not only takes time to evaluate us completely but goes the extra mile to explain what he is doing.

Dr. Carney does a great job. He is straight forward and ensures that we understand his recommendations and diagnosis. He explains and has a wonderful chair side manner. He is in depth and provides really great feedback. It is obvious that he enjoys what he does, and appears to really care for his patients. In today's world of really fast doctor visits, he is a welcomed delight in how much time he takes with us as his patients. We are VERY fortunate to be in his care.
— Lawrence Dow

Dr. Carney performed a angiogram on me last year and I continue to follow up with him as a patient. He is very relaxed and very easy to talk to. Every patient of his you talk to has a very positive experience with their treatment and relationship with him. I recommend highly recommend Dr. Carney.
— Terry S.
It was a pleasure and a breath of fresh air to deal with a doctor who is true to his profession and is able to explain your medical condition in a common sense way. Reminds me of my family doctor I had as a child who was truly concerned about your well being. He is very knowledgeable which is backed up by his experience, and he is never too busy to listen to you. From the time you enter the door until the time you leave, every person encountered from the front office staff to the back office staff, instill a feeling of well being knowing that you are being cared for in the best possible fashion.
— Jack Smith
Dr. Carney was very pleasant and spent a good deal of time with me on my initial visit as a patient with him. He asked the pertinent questions and answered all of mine. I feel very comfortable trusting him with my heart health. He was very down to earth and easy to talk to.
— Joyce Holt
Office was very efficient and timely. Dr. Carney himself spent time talking to me, reviewing my past history, and explaining what was going on now and what needed to be done. I felt very comfortable and at ease and he spoke in a language I could understand, which I appreciated. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a cardiologist in this area! He came highly recommended to me and I found out why today.
— Molly Brady
Nineteen years and 9 months ago I first met Dr. Carney in the ER at Mother Frances Hospital after having a heart attach. I had to have a triple bypass and he and Dr. Lee saved my life. i have followed up with him yearly for almost 20 years and have had no problems and by bypasses are still good. I had an office visit 11-29-20 and he always has time to explain what you need to do to have the best life you can, he really cares for his patients and I appreciate him.
— Linda Poteet

High blood pressure and had to have pacemaker to control heart rate. Had many FaceTime appointments but finally found the right combination of drugs to return my health to near normal.

Dr. Carney treats me like an adult, and makes me a partner in my outcome. Very easy to talk to and discusses my concerns without trying to get out of the room as quickly as possible, as some do. Highly recommended.

Dr. Carney has been my cardiologist for around 25 years. I have had heart issues during this entire time and he has pulled me thru many rough times. He is very knowledgeable and knows how to treat you.....In addition, I think he is the finest doctor I have ever known.
— John Rader
I recently had a Pacemaker/Defibrillator implant. Dr. Carney LISTENS. He is not in a hurry. He wants to understand what is going on with the patient. He encourages questions then challenges you with the answers. Dr. Carney takes time to explain your condition in an understandable manner. He took time to go over my lengthy list of medications. On my first visit after surgery He took me off one medication and then cut two other in half. He instructed me to keep a daily log of my blood pressure. Today I had a Video Teleconference with Dr. Carney. He wanted to know how I was doing, especially with shortness of breath and swelling. I explained that I had no shortness of breath/swelling but did have considerable pain in the calves of my legs. We went over my blood pressure log. He took me off of one medications and placed me on another. He explained what he was trying to accomplish and what I should watch for with my blood pressures. I feel as if we are working together.
— G. Sheldon Dunham
have been to Dr. Carney several times, had stent placement done by him, Dr. Hector and Dr. Meese..excellent care, knowledgeable, human touch. Will rely on him and/or his associate MDs for lifetime care.
— Ray Smith, RN, CRNA (ret)
I think he is a great cardiologist!!! He takes time to visit with you (unlike most doctors) and answers your questions. He is enjoyable to be around. I would not want any other DR taking care of my heart problems!!! Allan Helberg
— Allan Hellberg
My mother has been seeing Dr. Carney for years. He has done very well for her. I would highly recommend him. I would also like to mention that these TeleHealth Services during COVID-19 have been a God send for her. These have been the best thing to stay safe at home and have the visit on her phone - 3 times now. I really hope they continue this type of service from now on. I think it's great for the elderly, those with underlying conditions, can't travel or needs limited contact to people. PLEASE KEEP the TELEHEALTH visits!
— Kay Cagle Coy
Dr Carney in my opinion is a very good Dr. He explains things to where you can understand .He cares about his patients and their health issues. Would highly recommend him.

Follow up visit. Dr. Carney has been my cardiologist for twenty years. He literally has kept me alive. He is genuinely concerned not only with my health but every one of his patients. A compassionate man for sure. Explains everything in detail. Even draws pictures to explain in detail. I have recommended him to numerous friends. They all love him as much as I do. I hope he never retires!
— Laura Griffin
He is awesome! So knowledgable and thorough! He’s a straight-shooter with compassion! If I could give him 10 stars, I would!
— Patty Cook
Dr. Carney is the best cardiologist !!! He's easy to talk to, he explains and answers all questions and takes his time - you never feel like you've been "rushed through". If I could give him a 10 I would, (ratings don't go that high) !!! He has pulled me through many crisis and has always been successful in diagnosing and helping me with my heart issues - he always seems to "think ahead".
— W. Hill
After a heart attack, I was assigned a cardiologist at the hospital. As soon as I left the hospital, I chose another one. After the third try, I found Dr. Carney and was completely satisfied! He is the BEST! He takes all the time you need with him, always explaining treatment and medications and answering all of my questions. I would (and do!) highly recommend him!
— Sally I.
I have seen Dr. Carney twice now and he is wonderful! Very knowledgeable and he listens to what I have to say and explains the facts in a plain easy to understand way. He does NOT talk down to you make you feel like you can't ask questions.
