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.

Cataract surgery
I would highly recommend Dr Carter for cataract surgery. I am extremely near sighted and am very happy with the results of my surgery. For the first time in 65+ years I am able to see without contacts or glasses. It is like a miracle. Thank you Dr Carter.

Dr. Carter is passionate about his work.
I am very happy with Dr. Carters recommendation using the Panoptix lens providing the best choice for close, midrange and distance vision. I am currently able to work on computer documents and read small print on my phone at a distance of ten inches without additional corrective lenses. My 20/20 vision will occasionally see a halo or two around extremely bright lights at night which does not obstruct the rest of my night vision. I require more light when performing close detailed work and additional magnification when viewing small items at a close distance of six to eight inches which are minor adjustments to my corrected vision. I have the highest respect for Dr. Carter as an ophthalmologist allowing me to continue my profession and providing the quality of personalized care restoring my vision without adverse side effects.

I am pleased with Dr. Carter's knowledge and professionalism. I also like that he has coordinated my eye problems and treatment with Dr. Waterhouse. Since I have two issues, it is essential that they be working as a team. Also, he has given me information that has helped to ensure that I am doing all that I can to improve the health and sight in both my eyes.
