About Dr. Carnsew

Dr. Carnsew finished medical training at Wayne State University School of Medicine in 1997 and completed a family medicine residency at Greenville Hospital System in 2000. From 2000 until December 2016, she worked as a family doctor at Liberty Family Care. She earned an additional Lifestyle Medicine Certification in 2016.

She founded Verity Primary Medicine & Lifestyle, where she is owner and medical director. The practice opened in January 2017, because she wanted time to teach patients and help them prevent and treat chronic disease. She moved to direct primary care after feeling frustrated with limited one-on-one time with patients.

At Verity, patients contact their doctor directly. She also wrote a children's book on lifestyle medicine called How to Live Like a Superhero.
