Dr. Carter explained more to me in the 25 minutes than the other hospital did in three months of going to them. Respectful, courteous, caring, and very informative. Wish I would have went to her first.

Dr. Carter is the most caring doctor I have ever encountered and I have seen quite a few. I trust her with my care emphatically. She listens and cares, doesn't treat you like a number and shoves you out the door. I trust her and recommend her and Cooper to anyone facing cancer.
