Dr. Carter did such a great job taking care of me and my baby. My son was measuring big and Dr. Carter kept an eye on him. I wish Dr. Carter had delivered my 2 other kids, my delivery with him was the best by far and I felt like he was taking care of me the whole time. My husband agrees.

Dr. Lanter was my doctor gor my first pregnancy. She clearly cares about her patient's physical as well as emotional well-being. She is as gentle as possible during checks and takes time to answer any questions you have. But, if all is well she gets you in and out quickly without wasting your time. I like that I can get my appts done in my lunch hour. The staff and nurses are very kind and I've never had an issue getting an appt or having to wait too long to be seen. Great team and the best doctor I've ever had. During my delivery of my 10 pound baby she did a great job with my episiotomy. My

Dr. Carter is kind and incredibly good at what he does. I saw another doctor in the practice when I was pregnant with my first child but Dr. Carter was on call when I delivered. Now with my second pregnancy I'm back with Dr. Carter and I couldn't be happier. I know that not only will he tell it to me straight but that he is incredibly experienced. Plus Theresa (his nurse) is a godsend!!

Would not recommend. The entire office stops answering phones and leaves work early every day and they leave for lunch early too. So "closed at 5:00pm" means "closed at 4:45," or as I've found, what seems like "closed whenever we feel like leaving." I've changed doctors, glad all I need to do is pick up my medical records. How inconsiderate to your patients not to keep the office hours you publicly post.
