Hello, I am suffering from the worst sinus infection. I have never left many reviews but she deserves one. I work as a Psychologist, but unfortunately my job is a smaller workforce and we are not provided health insurance. It was $49 dollars to be seen. I am based in Maryland she was able to get me a work letter and I never take off work and prescribed me antibiotics that seem strong enough to get rid of this bad infection. She even called two days later to check in on me. The visit was only $49 I highly recommend for anyone that does not have insurance. She will take care of you and it’s a kind family practice.

Dr. Carter, was great. She was attentive, and listened to me and my concerns. I even had a problem with the pharmacy not having my medication in stock, I was able to contact her office and received a very prompt return phone call from Dr. Carter herself. She was willing to write me a different prescription so I didn’t have to go without my medication. The pharmacy did have enough of my initial medication to give me a month until the remainder arrived to the store, so I didn’t need the other prescription, but it was very comforting to know that Dr. Carter was ready to help if needed. Highly recommend. I will make appointments with her in the future for sure!
