Had exceptional appointment with Dr Carter. He was patient and took the time needed to cover all health issues. We left with a good action plan. He also explained all test results in ways we could understand.

I've already recommended Dr. Carter. Great diagnostician, clear and thorough in explaining treatment options and progressive steps if the simplest /least invasive treatment isn't enough. Funny and fully engaged, but also the most respectful physician I've seen in decades.

Dr. Carter seems genuinely interested in my well being, and goes beyond gathering the basic information. He was also very informative about an issue that I brought up that wouldn't have shown up on any test result.
