    Dr. Carter helped with my cervical spine surgery and is now guiding me through thoracic issues with the same level of care. He reviewed my MRI, explained his concerns clearly, and referred me again to the right specialists. I saw him yesterday for back pain — as always, he was thorough and compassionate. The staff is friendly, professional, and efficient. Highly recommend.
