Dr. Carter is absolutely fantastic. As a new patient, I was anxious before my appointment. He listened to everything I had to say, and even asked me questions for my perspective. He told me he reviewed my chart the day prior to my appointment, and it showed in the questions he asked. I feel that he cares very much for his patients, and that he puts in the effort to know his patients. He offered different solutions, talked about pros and cons, and allowed me the decision on what path to take. I felt in control of my healthcare decisions. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Carter and already have with my friends.

This was the best experience I have had with a medical provider in years! Took the time to listen and to think through care options together. Not rushed to have to get to another appointment. Clear instructions on course for care. Thank you!!!
