"I LIKED DR. CARTER RIGHT AWAY. HE IS VERY QUIET BUT DON'T THINK HE IS NOT LISTENING TO YOU. MY IMPRESSION IS EVEN BETTER HE IS SO KIND AND LETS YOU KNOW RIGHT AWAY THAT HE IS AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY AFTER SURGERY.
THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE IS I AM GOING OUT OF TOWN TO HAVE MY SURGERY, ABOUT 1HR AND 45 MINS FROM HOME. DR. CARTER'S STAFF ARE WONDERFUL AND VERY HELPFUL.
I STARTED DOWN THE PATH OF SURGERY 2 YEARS AGO AND CHICKENED OUT BUT I NEEDED TO DO THE
SURGERY FOR EXCESSIVE REFLUX DISEASE ANYWAY,BOY WHAT A NUT I WAS THEN, I GUESS I WAS NOT READY. I STARTED AGAIN IN FALL OF 2002 AND I VISITED THE SAME SURGEON THAT WAS GOING TO OPERATE BEFORE. IT TOOK ABOUT5 MONTHS FOR MY INSURANCE TO GO THROUGH AND 1 WEEK BEFORE SURGERY I WAS TOLD MY SURGERY WAS CANCELLED. I LATER LEARNED THE HOSPITAL
HAD STOPPED ALL GASTRIC SURGERIES FOR NOW DUE TO LACK OF ADEQUATE MALPRACTICE INSURANCE. I FOUND OUT ABOUT DR. CARTER FROM SOMEONE ON THE INTERNET I MADE AN APPT
IN AUGUST, HE PUT ME ON A SPECIAL DIET OF ALL PROTEIN DRINK, WATER, CRYSTAL LIGHT AND
LIQUID BROTH. I HAVE LOST 41 LBS. AND I AM NOW GOIN TO SURGERY ON THE 16TH. THANKS TO DR. CARTER. I WOULD RATE HIM ON A SCALE OF 1-10 MAYBE 8 ONLY BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW HIS BEDSIDE MANNER I AM SURE I WILL CHANGE MY MIND AND UP TO A 10."
