Before my appointment I was able to fill out my new client intake paperwork at home for a faster and more convenient check in process. Dr. Carter was wonderful. He listened to my concerns and cane up with a plan for treatment that would ease my worries. His staff was so friendly and kind. I overall had a great experience.

Dr. Carter is awesome! His office and staff are all great....sad that the up and coming doctors can't be more like Dr. Carter - hard to find a doctor in 2018 that wants to help you rather than fill his pockets full of cash. Dr. Carter cares about YOU and honestly, he is the one of nicest guys that I have ever met! He didn't push surgery, gave me the option and I am thankful that I went ahead with the procedure - can breathe better and don't wake up with a stuffy nose. Thank you, Dr. Carter!

September 24, 2015Barbara L.Verified patient
The nurses were spectacular and the wait time was very minimal. Dr. Carter was very flippant and didn't seem thorough. Told me to take pills without asking about my diet or any other aspects that would contribute to the acid reflux he suspected. Wanted to schedule a 'check up' without a real valid reason and spent about 3-4 minutes total in the room with me. Everything wrong in the medical profession in my opinion.

November 8, 2018Jeniffer V.Verified patient
He was a real nice doctor, but I felt he kind of rushed through the exam, as if he was trying to make up for lost time. I would have liked to know more about my diagnosis.

This doctor is too old to be practicing. He dismissed my sumptoms saying yep, yep, not wanting to listen. He said he had no answers and that I might have to accept things as they are!

He doesn't know what's wrong with me but he is trying his hardest to give me a diagnosis. I was happy with my visit. It's not an easy illness to diagnose nobody has been able to so far.
