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 was not the problem. It was his wife. She was demeaning every chance she got. She had to prove what she knew. Even to the point that she told us the directions that Dr carter and his surgical assistant were incorrect. She knew she was telling us that Lori told us wrong directions but Mrs Carter did not know she was also telling us that what Dr Carter told us to do for recovery was incorrect. If get to just talk with him you will be okay. If you need paperwork for your job beware.

I truely liked and trusted Dr. Carter from the first meeting. He was very informative and answered all my questions. He told me exactly what was going to happen during and after my surgery. He informed my family after the surgery and he came to see me several times during my hospital stay. Truely, God and Dr. Carter were with me during my stay. Also, Dr. Carter came highly recommended. He is well known and well loved. Thank you, Dr. Cartrr.
