Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Carter is a very good doctor and one that cares about his patients.. I've been with him for years now.. If he isn't sure about your diagnosis, then he will find a specialist to help in your paricular case.. I went to him with what I thought was something that wasn't of much concern but because of his care and concern he sent me to a cardiologist and the next week I had open heart surgery. He also takes time to answer any questions that you might have.. So I highly recommend Dr. Tony Carter

Dr Tony always explains everything and he does whatever it take to find out what's going on and why I feel bad. Dr. TONY IS VERY QUICK TO TREAT my illness and GET TEST SCHEDULED. He is very good about getting me back in the office to follow up on my health. Dr. TONY IS VERY CARING AND ALWAYS TREAT ME LIKE I HIS FAVORITE PATIENT, JUST LIKE HE DOES ALL OF HIS PATIENTS. HE TAKES THE TIME AND REALLY CARES ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY HEALTH. AND HE ALWAYS SAYS CALL IF I NEED ANYTHING.
