Report
I highly recommend Carrie Baxter at Deschutes Dermatology. I've been going there for 10 years. She can spot basal cell carcinoma at 50 yards. She's got a great eye and takes care of her patients as does all of the staff. Thank you for being there!

My appointment with dr Carter was comforting. She has excellent bedside manners. She diagnosed psoriasis for me and found treatment to clear it up 100 %. She removed some nodules on my face. Several appointments to get that healed. She is very patient.

Report
I had a TCA peel & was a bit nervous but they thoroughly explained and prepared me for everything and the staff & office was so warm & friendly that the procedure was a breeze. They had great follow up & Im excited to see the results but confident that I had some of the most professional care with Dr Carter. With all of her experience and passion for what she does, I know I was in the best of hands.

Dr. Carter and her staff are fabulous- efficient and professional. I recently had a biopsy done and it was painless. The office is clean and parking is plentiful. My only concern is that she is SO busy its a little hard to get in to see her.
