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.

Hip Replacements L&R
What an amazing job. One year post-op both hips and couldn't be happier. X-rays still perfect. Thank you so much to Dr Carter and his team. They confidently executed as planned and I'm happy to refer any and all to them.

The Best
I have had two Total Knee Replacements with Dr. Carter in 2023-24. As many have said before you will not find a kinder, more patient and attentive doctor. He is professional, respectful of all questions and generously shares his knowledge and encouragement throughout the surgery process. His staff is 100% welcoming and helpful during visits and 100% responsive to phone contact. The Best.

Knee pain appointment
Appointment was like clockwork. Very professional and friendly staff. Dr Carter was very thorough and as nice as can be. Took the time to make sure all of my questions and concerns were answered. I’m not ready for knee replacement or surgery yet, but when I am I’ll be having Dr Carter do it. Highly recommended.

another enjoyable appt
I saw Dr. DeSalle for pre op consult. He was very thorough, reviewed things, was friendly but gave time to ask questions. Also a shout out to Jessica and Bethany for being friendly, competent, gentle nurses who also explained things well, gave time for questions. Dr Carter replaced a hip so I’m going with him again for a knee replacement. Everyone at Midwest is excellentmedically while leaving time for a little off the record chat, it’s never an assembly line feeling. I appreciate their Christian values.

Knee pain evaluation
My first experience with MJRC was for a knee problem. Dr Berend did the surgery 5 years ago. This appointment was made on short notice for my other knee. Dr Carter was able to see me on short notice. My experiences at their facility ihave been wonderful. Dr Cater makes you feel very comfortable and caring. His evaluation and diagnostic skills were done with care. Treatment options were reviewed. My drive to Indy is 2 hours each way. Why? I want the best care and treatment. I never felt like a number. I’m sure I’ll be returning. Thanks to all!!!

Wonderful experience
As an RN of 43 years and very picky about my doctors, I’m so glad a dear friend recommended Dr. Carter and his staff. I had a partial knee replacement a year ago and couldn’t be happier with the whole experience and end result. His staff were very attentive to my needs and listened to my fears of allergies, etc., worked with me on everything. Put me at ease for the surgery and were there for anything I needed after. I will definitely use this doctor and staff again if ever needed.

One of the best ever!
Dr. Carter has to be one of the most wonderful, compassionate, knowledgeable, and friendliest doctors I have ever seen! He is so very personable and explained in much detail why he didn’t think I needed a knee revision as the last orthopedic doctor I saw said was needed. I was so dreading another excruciating knee surgery, but thanks to him and his expertise, it will just take time for the pain in my knee to dissipate after falling on it in August. If you are facing a joint replacement, I would most definitely have him do it! Everyone at Midwest Center for Joint Replacement was so very kind and caring! Thank you Dr. Carter for truly caring about what’s best for those who come to you. I cannot thank you enough and just thank God I found you!

Hip replacements
Dr. Carter is an awesome doctor. He is personable and explains everything very thoroughly. He has given me two hip replacements. Both were phenomenal successes. I no longer limp and the recovery was quick and relatively painless.

Cindy R. – Aug 18, 2020

I had My left hip replaced on January 27, 2020. Dr. Carter did an excellent job of preparing me for the surgery, outcome and recovery. I maintained a rigid schedule of doing what I was told to do and 14 weeks later was basically on my normal routine of working out on my Elliptical and weight lifting. I was back up to 260 pound squats heading to my normal 320. I can't say enough good about the outcome. I am pain free in my left hip which has been over 2 years. I am blessed and excited to continue the process of healing and getting back to an active life without pain. My right hip will need attention in the next couple of years and I will not hesitate to see Dr. Carter this time instead of suffering through the pain as I did before. I couldn't even walk the beach in Aruba on vacation in January of 2020. I will now be able to enjoy my blessed life without the unbearable pain. I am so thankful and grateful for meeting Dr. Carter. I would recommend Dr. Carter without hesitation.
