Dr. Carter has consistently gone above and beyond in all of the above categories. He clearly had taken time to conduct some research prior to our telemedicine visit. He had a caring yet thoughtful, medically-based approach to our discussion. He probably went over on time for the call. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Carter.
