“I went to him to get some answers on an injury that I’ve previously visit 2 hospitals and a urgent care facility over that didn’t cleary give me answers on my injury, an after explaining the situation with the doc he said we would get to the bottom of it and he did, so with that being said I definitely would recommend Carter Kerber.”

Carter was great. He took care of me and when he did the ultra sound he explained to me where the issue was . I would recommend him for anyone looking for orthopedic.
September 19, 2025Kim T.Verified patient
I was very impressed with my first visit yesterday.
I feel my one year old problem will finally be resolved with good
medicine and a very knowledgeable Dr Kerber.
The staff was also first rate.
September 18, 2025Howard S.Verified patient
I had a very disappointing experience with this doctor. I initially went to him for back pain, but the treatment he prescribed did not help at all. When I informed him, instead of adjusting the medication or providing better guidance, he simply asked me to take an X-ray. After the X-ray was done, there was no proper follow-up, no explanation of the results, and no further plan for treatment. I felt completely neglected and left without any clarity about my condition. A patient expects care, attention, and at least some effort to explain the diagnosis and provide options – none of that happened here. The medication given earlier was also ineffective, and when it failed, there was no accountability. Overall, I felt my time, money, and trust were wasted. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone seeking genuine treatment or proper communication. Patients deserve respect, empathy, and effective care – unfortunately, I did not receive that here.

I went for knee pain & this PA just went over a ton of nothing. It was based off up charging and stem cell talk. I really just wanted to grab a steroid shot for my knee. He told me insurance wouldn’t cover it that day (which was a lie.) He kept mentioning me needing to loose weight or doing IV fluids to overall feel better. None of which focused on my actual knee. I thought this was an orthopedic office which is why I went there. This is now an everyday med spa like a Scottsdale vibe. Won’t return.

Everything you could want in a DRs visit
April 10, 2025David M.Verified patient
The PA here is EXCELLENT and I am so glad I booked with them through ZocDoc. Excellent Bedside Manner, patient, listens and the office staff are super friendly.
March 29, 2025Christopher C.Verified patient
It was a fortunate (yet unfortunate) coincidence that the physician had also experienced an old injury I was coming for. It made me a lot more comfortable speaking with him about the addressing pain management and potential treatment plans. Visit was a lot shorter than I expected, and I made it to work on time! Do not hesitate to make an appointment here. Awesome office staff, too.
March 6, 2025Chloe K.Verified patient
Absolutely excellent provider made me feel comfortable and completely diagnose my problem very friendly, extremely intelligent and accurate. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
February 11, 2025Shawny A.Verified patient
The Dr spent a lot of time with me to understand the issue and make recommendations. That was very appreciated
I liked his ideas and hand hoping they work!
December 24, 2024Jen L.Verified patient
I'd been having knee issues for months and did research on where to go for help. I decided to go to "Optimize You Performance Medicine" to seek a solution. The provider, Carter Kerber PA, did a through evaluation of my medical history and my knee, explained in detail what the recommended treatment plan was and also did an in-office procedure that provided some immediate relief to the knee pain. I'm very impressed with the friendly, professional staff at their office as well as the level of knowledge and care of the provider. I highly recommend you try them!
December 17, 2024Mechelle B.Verified patient
Great customer service new exactly what I needed
November 11, 2024Natasha M.Verified patient
They tried charging me for stuff I already paid for. Staff immediately saw I had already paid when I called to complain. Sketchy practice, because there’s a slim chance I would’ve gotten the money back if I just paid the bill they sent me.

Carter was knowledgeable, caring, listened and gave me numerous instances..
Looked up the results I brought in and explained them he also looked up a previous MRI and totally explained it to me..
This MRI was done by another physician that I am not happy with.
October 11, 2024Debbie H.Verified patient
Very professional and knowledgeable about my treatment plan. Dr. was confident in explaining the care I needed and had great solutions. Very clear on the process of procedure, which was reassuring. Staff made me feel welcomed and cared about. He will be my forever provider.

Very thorough
June 4, 2024Tyler F.Verified patient
There have been many positive review about Carter, so I feel it is simply not a match. Not everyone is an immediate match to a provider. I just felt that I was being "sold" a ton of options, and future "cures" that I had not even come in for. I came in for a shoulder so why are why discussing weight loss and hormones? I didn't feel confident that the immediate need was going to be addressed, it would be drawn out to get every dollar possible.
I have not experienced with other providers. Just not a match. Have decided to go elsewhere.
May 30, 2024Louis W.Verified patient
Absolutely recommend Carter at Optimize! I had been going to a different physical therapist for months with no relief - after one session I was already starting to feel better - to now when I am feeling great. 10/10 would recommend. The other staff is amazing too! Very friendly and clean office.
More than 1 year agoNatalie W.Verified patient
I was pleasantly pleased with my appointment. This was the I still consultation in which I was informed of my options and solutions for my visit. Everything was clearly explained, and I left with a positive out look. I can't wait for my next visit.
March 29, 2024KAREN W.Verified patient
Really nice and patient
March 24, 2024Yuanyuan Q.Verified patient
The dr was knowledgeable and provided a holistic approach along with surgical options to assure I was able to make a well educated decision about my care.
February 16, 2024Angela W.Verified patient
Highly recommend. Friendly and attentive staff made me feel welcome. And the doctor was very thorough and knowledgeable. He was a great listener, was able to pull up an old MRI and helped me identify that I more than likely re-injured a herniated disc that I incurred 7 years ago. Gave me a great treatment plan, options, suggestions and recommendations. You will not be disappointed and will be in good hands as it truly felt both his staff and himself really do care about your health and want to see you get better.

Carter Kerber went above and beyond as always, truly doing more than he needed to. I’m so appreciative to have him as a part of my care team. He is 1 in a million!
December 20, 2023Samuel J.Verified patient
Thankful to Zocdoc. Dr Warner with Optimize Your Performance was awesome. I was over my head with frustration because of my knee pain. He took me in and assessed me, and even though he couldn't assure a diagnosis without a MRI, he had me confident that whatever it is I'll get through it with his help. He was quick to relieve the majority of my pain by doing an joint aspiration, right there in the office ( draining fluid from the knee). He was above and beyond what I expected!

Warmly greeted. Efficiently checked in. Vitals taken quickly and competently by another friendly person. PA was informed, knew my chief complaint and quickly established rapport. He is smart, up-to-date with new treatments and modalities, and inspires confidence. He sincerely pursues the best for his patients and his team, too.
A pleasant, enlightening, and completely satisfactory experience by a highly skilled provider.
November 30, 2023Dianne B.Verified patient
Very friendly staff! Carter was very thorough & took his time in explaining & diagnosing my problems. Scheduled me immediately for injection next day! I feel I’m in good hands!
November 1, 2023Darlene N.Verified patient
I did not expect to get any relief on a first visit. That has been my experience at previous dr offices that are pain focused. But this dr and office listened to my issues, researched my imaging and actually gave me the trigger point injections, I requested, my 1st appointment. Referred me for massage that I was able to get covered by insurance for the 1st time in my long painful journey. I experienced compassionate care by this dr with no stigma on new types of treatments. Very impressed and very grateful!
October 13, 2023Syd L.Verified patient
Professional, respectful, and personable.
September 19, 2023Taylor V.Verified patient
Dr. Kerber was very thorough and attentive. He asked a lot of questions to make sure he understood the situation and took his time. It was just a first appointment, and we have a follow tomorrow, but so far we are happy with the experience.
