Love Dr. Carter and his staff! Super personable and efficient. Post-covid protocols such as limiting people in waiting room and setting up walls in open bay made the visit feel extremely safe. Definitely recommend!

This office is amazing! The staff is fun and light-hearted, the billing department is patient and understanding, the front desk understands a crazy busy life and met my needs every step of the way. Dr Carter wants to get it right, as if every set of teeth are his personal challenge, and that means I was in great hands with my wack mouth! BONUS: after the first year I had less migraines AND jaw pain. He's a mad scientist, and he knows what he's doing!

I paid a little more in this office than maybe others in town but it was worth it for on call staff, the accommodations that would've cost extra somewhere else, and the free consult to start us off. BESIDES. when is the last time your doctor and his entire crew knew your name, your face, AND your chart without staring at a computer screen? There's value in that!
