Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Thank you for taking care of our kids :)
Awesome and always available to take care of our kids. Highly recommend.

I can only say, Amazing!
Dr. Virginia Carter has been my son's doctor since 2019 when I moved from Texas I didn't know anyone to help me with my son speech and behavior issues, Dr. Virginia has been the best Doctor and great person to treat my son and guide me through all this hard process my son has been through, if it wasn't for her expertise I would of been so lost in how to help him. I just want to say thank you so much for being so amazing and giving special needs parents like myself hope. Dr. Virginia Carter was recommended by a Co worker I used to work with. I will forever be grateful to my co worker too. I pray that Dr. Virginia will be my sons doctor for a very long time. For the parents to know your little ones are in great hands.

Wonderful Dr. , amazing, caring, and knowledgeable
I have 3 little ones and a teenager who see her. If all seen at once she takes her time she does not rush. Dr.Carter is very thorough, explains, and answers your concerns. Very informative, knowledgeable, and down to earth. I am grateful to have her as my kids Dr. Very lucky to have found her wish she was a family Dr. I would definitely have her as my Dr. Her staff is very friendly, helpful, and great with my 3. My 2 little ones 5 and 6 love going to see her. They are not scared, crying, or anxious. They love her nurses they are gentle, through, and caring. I love that she has a sick side and a well side of her office. On occasion I have opted to wait in my car with the kids. They will let you know if it ok and will call to let me know when they are ready for you. I love that they will help you out and go that extra mile if you need it. I have never had a bad experience with Dr.Carter and her staff. If you are looking for a pediatrician for your family Dr Carter is the one to See

My daughters (13 and 9) have been seeing Dr. Carter for 2.5 years. My son has been seeing her since he was born in January. Dr. Carter is a wonderful doctor. She cares so much about her patients, and it shows! She listens, asks questions, and always makes sure to answer any questions that the parent has before she leaves the room (even when the waiting room is full!) Dr. Carter realized that my oldest daughter had severe scoliosis before we did and she ended up having surgery a year and a half ago. If it weren’t for Dr. Carter’s discoveries, my daughters back problems could have ended up so much worse!! I highly recommend her!! We moved recently, about 35 minutes away, and I refuse to change pediatricians!
