Philosophy of care

My approach to care is personalized, integrated, evidence-based, and collaborative. What is most rewarding to me is when I can use my skills, expertise, and knowledge of the patient to help them through pivotal life and health transitions.

Dr. Carter's clinical interests include urgent care, musculoskeletal injuries, and sports medicine.

    Dr Carter has been my primary caregiver for 5 years. I follow him to his current practice. He is exactly the type of physician I want. He listens, he is straight forward and he always first suggests a simple solution but always has a higher solution ready if necessary.

    Dr. Carter is an outstanding physician and is the main reason why I remain with Optum. He asks good questions, listens well, follows up when needed and gives excellent medical feedback. I trust him and am very glad to have him as my primary care provider.

    Not the clinician's fault that Optum is owned by United health Care.
