Patient Reviews
May 16, 2022
Dr. Carter was my Mothers Dr after colorectal surgery 3 year prior; she had a colon rupture, was hospitalized and suddenly went into cardiac distress. He forced his way into a surgery suite and saved her life. She had cancer again. He also repaired a hernia, gave her an ostomy and she’s virtually cancer free. Dr Carter is our trusted source of medical information. He’s compassionate and professional.
