Stay away at all cost. Not sure how she is still in practice. Do some research on her and you will realize she is incapable of giving you the care you deserve. If you are on her schedule in the near future I would seriously consider cancelling and finding a capable doctor

Stay away from this so called doctor she ruins lives. If you value your life please do yourself a favor and find a doctor who is actually capable of helping, she only makes things worse by not having a clue as to what she is doing.

Dr. Carter has been in tune with me as she explained the options and procedures for me while exhibiting concern and encouragement. I love her personality as well. She put me at ease and responded to my need to make quirky jokes to lighten the overwhelming feelings of encountering breast cancer.

Dr. Carter performed surgery on my daughter. She kept me abreast on the surgery. She was able to do Laparoscopy instead of regular surgery. My daughter had the same surgery in the past three times and did not work. Thank you Dr. Carter for being a caring doctor.

Dr. Carter was recently my child’s surgeon and is solely responsible for making an already painful and scary hospital experience an absolutely nightmarish and traumatic experience for her. Dr. Carter showed complete lack of empathy in caring for my daughter and really set the ball rolling for my 12year to old to have anxiety and fear about dealing with doctors in her future. I am so heartbroken over our experience with Dr. Carter.

The overall visit was unprofessional and the topic of conversation by her nurse was inappropriate. Dr. Carter did not follow up with me after she stated she would. I called and left messages w/no returned calls. It turns out after pursuing my care elsewhere I have a serious medical diagnosis that I am facing. If I had not been diligent in getting answers I could be facing serious consequences dealing with Dr. Carter. She is a joke!
