environment in my medical practice. I try to create a
place where my patients can express their concerns
freely and build lasting relationships. My patients
can be confident we will work as a team, not only for
routine cuts, runny noses, and vaccines. But also, for
any of the major challenges that life can throw our way.

Patient Comments

Dr Carter is one of the best primary care physicians I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. His ability to be attentive, listen, understand and explain provides me the piece of mind that I have a physician that knows me and really cares. He is thorough and ensures that you understand the care plan. His bedside manner and great care is why I travel [...] to Caledonia for primary care. He is one of your best!

Went for a physical - only listened to heart and lungs and looked in mouth. Not a very complete exam.

Sep 09, 2024

Dr took time to explain a process of elimination of symptoms to drill down to the root cause.

Dr Carter trusts that I know myself well. He treats me like a partner in my health journey, not as if I have no brains.

Aug 31, 2024

Dr Carter always takes time to discuss my concerns. I never feel rushed.

Aug 05, 2024

Dr. Carter is very caring, willing to research any concerns he doesn't have an immediate answer to.

It was a straight forward problem with a simple, textbook solution. A visit with the doctor was a formality and I was fit into his already too full day. I'm grateful for that. The time he spent with me was extremely minimal, the referrals were made, and I was on my way. There was no need for bedside manner except to be taken seriously, and that happened.

Overall I think provider is a good person, listens while he is there but seems to go by the book rather than listen to the patient. I had more questions to ask and concerns about my health and he just stood up and said" OK I have to rap it up". I have up and down blood pressure and wanted to ask more questions about that. I'm concerned and did not feel I was allowed the time to ask those questions

Dr. Carter is fantastic. I am always reluctant to switch PCPs, especially when I love one as much as I love Dr. Ferris, but she recommended him and he's everything she said he'd be. He listens carefully, explains things to me fully, and really takes what I think about my health into account. He's a great doctor!
