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.

The Best
I don’t know why in the world anyone wouldn’t be pleased with Dr Carter!! I’ve been a patient of Dr Carter’s for 12 yrs and he is the most knowledgeable Dr I’ve ever gone to and has saved my life many times!! He is always an excellent listener and so so nice and is always concerned like I’m his only patient. His staff is amazing, especially his nurse Lexi!! So if you need a wonderful Dr to take good care of your health, call for Dr Carter! But call ahead, he’s so good he’s usually Booked 2 or 3 months in advance!

I went to Dr. Carter for 4 years and he was a great doc. 2 months ago he recommended I go to a pain specialist. I went, and then 2 weeks later he sent me a registered letter, discharging me from his practice for going to another PCP! I only did what he recommended, and was discharged for absolutely no reason. I had sent many people to him because I thought he really cares about my healthcare. Since I would only be going twice a year , he let me go completely. A money thing for sure!!

I would not recommend this doctor to my worst enemy. I will no longer take anyone of my family members to this entire practice because of him. Accusing someone who has suffered from chronic pain and can prove he has been in pain management for 11 years of being a pill seeker and telling him to find a new doctor is, in my opinion, unprofessional. He cared more about himself and his license then the care of who was supposed to be his patient.

Dr. Carter is an excellent physician....not only for his knowledge about health issues that his patients have but their total state of condition. He is caring and his staff is wonderful. My husband and I have been patients of his since his arriving in the area and setting up his practice and I have recommended him to my own Mother and my husband's parents were also patients of his. In short, he is excellent!!!
