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. Arthur Carter
Dr Arthur Calvin Carter was my Emergency care doctor yesterday (March 15, 2025). I am in the latter stages of cancer and have been to MGH and Brown University Cancer hospital for 4 years getting Chemo. In the end every 21 days. Dr. Carter listened and made me as comfortable as possible. In his hands I received excellent care. I was in excruciating pain. I had a Cat Scan and found the reason for the pain. He asked what hospital would you like to go to? Brown etc - I said “I want to stay here!” the nurses, team and Dr. Arthur Carter were excellent. I am waiting to go to Dana Farber on March 26 which is a long wait when in pain. The care was top notch, an A in my book. I felt the best since Jan. 17, 2025 when I got the fateful news from my last scan which revealed the tumor spreading into my rectum. Dr. Arthur Carter even tried to reach someone at Dana Farber but I need to wait til then to see if I can have surgery. He is a wonderful doctor and I would highly recommend him.

Dr Carter is caring and really listens
Dr. Carter listened to me and was able to diagnose my symptoms as those of abdominal migraines. This helped tremendously in my treatment and further maintenance of my health.

My visit in the ER went well. He listened to my concerns, prescribed me the bronchodilators I needed, and gave me some helpful suggestions. Thank you, Judy B.

Deplorable doctor and human. Works on his own bias’ and refuses to listen to patients; repeatedly violates Hippocratic oath. Should lose his listened to practice any medicine. Do not trust
