Dr. Carter is the best! We went through several issues (cancer diagnosis, breathing issues and new lymphedema problems). We reviewed what the pulmonologist and the oncologist had to say and how to integrate various meds...practical solution as opposed to specialist solutions. I always feel he listens very well and really cares.
