Testimonials and Reviews
As a single mother of 4 kids, who all play sports, injuries are something that is expected. CareCredit has allowed me to have peace of mind knowing I will be able to cover those medical expenses. I love knowing the card is in my wallet and that I will be able to pay on the spot, as if I was paying cash ... I breathe easier and love that I'm able to pay without a worry. Thank you CareCredit

My son fell on some ice and broke his wrist while away at college. We were told that it would cost over $1000 up front before the surgeon would even touch his wrist. CareCredit allowed us to not worry about how we were going to move forward. He had the surgery as soon as he was able and we were able to make monthly payments that fit in our budget!

2016 was the year I would celebrate my 30th birthday. 5 months prior to my birthday celebration I had severely broken my ankle in 3 different locations. I had to have two surgeries and was non-weight-bearing for the upcoming 5 months. CareCredit allowed me to pay for several medical necessities throughout my long recovery. I was able to recover in time to celebrate my 30th. Thank you, CareCredit.
