Not Available or Concerned

by SLAustin at Citysearch

I was very optimistic from all the reviews here and elsewhere when I found Dr. Carter. However, after several visits, it became apparent she was not concerned with helping to resolve the issue I came in with (and a diagnosis was missed) and I gave up on getting the help I needed. Her main focus seems to be on delivering babies and not women's general health.

Eventually, I had an emergency and was unable to reach her for weeks after leaving several messages with the answering service and having to call back daily. I finally reached a staff member days later after calling and calling only to have them tell me they were unsure why my calls weren't being returned and that the doctor only works three days a week. I'm now looking for another doctor.

• Cons: can't contact/not interested in patient issues

Great Doctor

by jlemus at Citysearch

Dr. Carter was fabulous. I wish I had her for our first baby but having her there the second time around was excellent. I didn't realize what I missed out on the first pregnancy until I went to her. She's always caring and never rushes. I was worried that she wouldn't be there for the actual delivery (my first doctor wasn't) but she was right there throughout up until the baby was born!! I'm sad that we had to move away but if I go back to austin you can bet who my ob/gyn would be! i've even considered keeping her and just going back for my annual. Great doctor and excellent person. Highly recommend.

• Pros: Informative, Caring, Supportive and genuine
• Cons: waits can be a bit long but nothing a book can't handle

Wonderful Doctor

by SWG3 at Citysearch

I moved to Austin mid-pregnancy, became a patient of Dr. Carter's, and am so glad I did. This was my first pregnancy so I was really looking for a doctor I felt comfortable with and who would be there to answer all the questions I was having during this new stage of my life. She is a fabulous doctor, who goes out of her way for her patients, and is always on top of her game. I admit I've also had some issues with her new staff, but once I informed Dr. Carter of what was going on, it was handled immediately, and I've never had any issues since. (I encourage anyone who is having issues to inform Dr. Carter so she can take care of the problem, because she will!! ) If you are looking for a an outstanding ob/gyn, look no further. I am recommending her to all of my friends, and I confidently recommend her to anyone in search of a new doctor. You will not be disappointed!

• Pros: Wonderful Doctor, caring, great sense of humor, goes out of her way for her patients.
• Cons: sometimes the office staff (not the nurses, just the scheduling staff) but no reason to not consider this doctor.
