Patient Reviews
Feb 11, 2016
I had arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery performed by Dr. Carter 3 weeks ago. I am on the road to recovery, and experiencing less pain than I expected. I'm happy with the way the procedure went, and I'm glad someone with his level of skill is available in our remote area.
