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.

Friendly staff, felt like Dr. Carter really cared about my health. Would recommend to family and friends.

Excellent
I’ve been seeing Dr Cater about 18 years as my hematologist. Now it will be for Oncology. I trust his judgement and his skills. Couldn’t be in better hands. If there is a problem he WILL get to the bottom of it. Thanks for many years of excellent health care

Dr. Carter is the type of doctor I look forward to seeing. He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain, in terms I can understand, his diagnosis and recommendations. When you leave with his counsel, you feel empowered in taking any next steps. Thanks for the opportunity to comment on Dr. Carter’s professionalism.
