This was one of the best doctor-patient experiences I've ever had! Dr. Carter has a compassionate & friendly bedside manner. But he excels at cutting through the chaff and zeroing in on the problem using sound reasoning, superb analytical skills and his years of whole health experience. Using science & data, he came up with multiple causes for my problem that were easy to understand. He then articulated steps to take for each scenario. It was an outstanding experience. Dr. Carter is a Top Doc in every way!

Once the dr arrived in the exam room he took the time to listen to our concerns and gather as much information as he could. He observed my son's mannerisms and acted appropriately. He could see he was nervous and tried to make him feel more at ease. He did not make the appointment feel rushed.

Again, Dr. Carter, D.O. Was the best of the best. He was everything his video indicated he was and so extremely much much more. His expertise in my areas of concern were right on which for the first time in years gave me hope he could diagnose and treat my symptoms.
