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 great, explained everything to me.

Great guy, explained the procedures in detail. Answered every question. Never appeared to be in a hurry. Always felt like I was in excellent hands. His staff were very caring and helpful. The techs operating the radiation equipment were the BEST - made the whole process almost fun. GOOD PLACE, GREAT PEOPLE - I highly recommend them!

Dr. Carter has been my radiologist for the past two years. He is very professional, always has time to discuss my condition and treatment options with me. Takes a personal interest in me. He is a warm and compassionate doctor. Staff is always very warm and courteous as well. Very little wait time in the office to obtain my treatments. Highly recommend this doctor!

My appointment with Dr. Carter was to establish a treatment for a lung cancer. He and his staff explained the approach that he was taking in words that were clear to a non medical individual. This was done in a conversational and anxiety calming manner. I would certainly recommend Dr. Carter and Staff to anyone in a position where his knowledge and skill would be advantageous to their welfare.

Having never been a cancer patient before, I was greatly relieved to have Dr. Carter as my radiation oconolist. His approach was very easy to understand and the options he relayed to be were just what I needed to hear. The entire oncology team at RMCC were terrific to deal with being compassionate yet straight forward about the disease and the options for me. I would gladly recommend Dr. Carter to anyone especially thoser who might be faced with a diagnosis of breast cancer. Thank you all at RMCC!

Dr. Carter provided helpful information about radiation treatment. He is up to date on current strategies which proved very helpful in having minimal side effects as I went through 40 radiation treatments for prostate cancer. He is friendly, down to earth and it's been a pleasure to be treated by him.

Smart. Affable. Takes time to explain things. But not pleased with the results he produced. He computed a sophisticated plan to radiate a pelvic lymph node tumor. The two week regimen was quick and tolerable. Thereafter, had to wait two months without further treatment to determine effectiveness. The tumor shrank some, but 9 new ones popped up in surrounding nodes. Dr. Carter seemed nonplussed by this turn of events. Be sure to discuss chemo or targeted therapy DURING radiation!
