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 one of a kind!!!! He has preformed surgery on both my husband and I now! He is everything you hope for in a physician and treats each patient as if they were family! I love Dr. Carter and his precious staff!

Dr. Carter not only is he concerned with my health but concerned that all aspects of my life are going well. He is the best doctor I have ever had and has been my doctor since 2007.
