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.

My husband had open heart surgery about 10 years ago. Received excellent care by physician and nursing staff. Excellent OR team as well as post op care. Would highly recommend Dr. Carter and the Medical Center to all my family and friends.

On Jan. 4, 2011, Dr. Carter and Dr. Moore saved my life. I had an aortic dissection which they repaired and they also replaced my aortic valve. I'm thankful that God helped guide their talents and energy that day.
