Ty is the best……period
Professioal shsred information explained xray did not push for additional tests. Ordered meds to help should situation reoccur. Thorough efficient appointment. Plenty of parking.
Dr Carter listened to me describe the problem I was having with my back and offered advice what I should do to manage my case. I was very satisfied with his plan.
Very thorough and great bed side manner!!!
When we were discussing imaging choices for my back, he said we’ll need an MRI. I told him I could not get an MRI because I have a Medtronic Bladder Interstem. He said that can’t be correct, we’ve done hundreds of MRIs of people who have them. I told him I had checked with them on several occasions about MRIs and he continued to argue the issue to the point of making me feel uncomfortable. I had read such good reviews about him saying about him being so nice and kind and thorough. He made me feel like I was lying to him.
He's very knowledgeable and I explained my options very well. I'm very pleased.
Dr. Ty Carter is a great doctor. He has done back surgery on me 2 times. If I was going to have surgery again he is my doctor. I think he is the best.
Doctor that understands my health and good at listening
Very nice person
Dr. Carter did a great job in helping me understand my situation, and answered all of my questions.
