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.

Terrible doctor before he retired.
Dr. Carter WAS a great doctor…once. The last two years he was too busy cheating on his second wife and trying to secure a divorce. As a result, my health suffered. Dr. Carter would tell me one thing and when my husband called, who’s also an MD ,Dr. John Z. Carter would tell him a completely different story.I’m so very glad he retired. He took an oath to “do no harm” and broke it.

Dr. Carter is patient and makes sure he has all the facts before he takes action. He is a good "listener" and asks all the right questions to be sure he knows your problem. He also has a great staff helping him.

I know as a former Patient of his . This Dr. is Head and Shoulders above any Primary Care Physician I have seen and I am 78 Years Old . I have moved out of state and only hope I can find a Dr. With His Concern.He listens and and follows Up in a timely manner. His medical Assistant Sam also does a great job.
