A note from Dr. Carter
Medicine works better when your doctor knows you.
I started this practice because I was tired of seven-minute visits. Here, a regular appointment lasts thirty minutes, and I see the same families year after year — I have delivered news, celebrated recoveries and watched a lot of kids grow taller than me.
You can message me through the portal, book same-week visits online and, if you need a specialist, I will call them myself and stay in the loop.

Patient stories
Families who stayed.
★★★★★
“They actually listened.”
I had been bounced between clinics for two years. Dr. Carter sat with me for forty minutes, ordered the right tests and called me herself with the results. I finally feel looked after.

★★★★★
“Seen in twenty minutes.”
Woke up with a fever and an ear infection on a Tuesday. Booked online at 8am, saw Grace at 9:20 and had my prescription before work. No ER, no drama.
Andre W.
Same-day visit
★★★★★
“My numbers finally make sense.”
Dr. Okafor explained my diabetes like nobody had before — with drawings. Video check-ins every month keep me on track, and my A1C is the best it has been in years.

Membership FAQ
How the membership works.
The questions families ask before joining.
Still have a question?
Our front desk answers within minutes during opening hours.
Do I still need health insurance?
Yes, we recommend it. The membership covers everything that happens in the practice; insurance protects you for hospital stays, emergencies, imaging and specialists. Many members pair us with a lower-cost, high-deductible plan.
Can I use my HSA to pay?
Many members do. We give you a detailed receipt every month. Rules depend on your plan, so check with your HSA provider first.
What if I need a specialist?
Dr. Carter refers you directly, shares your records and calls the specialist when it helps. Most referrals are booked within the week.
How quickly can I be seen?
Sick visits are usually available the same or next day. Routine visits within the week. Messages are answered within one working day.
Is there a contract?
No. Membership is month to month and you can cancel anytime from your patient portal.
