Reviewed on May 13th, 2019 • Verified patientDr. Carter and her team have been lovely. I’ve been anxious about the state of my dental health for a while, and after years of punting a trip to the dentist, I finally decided to go. As expected, my teeth need a lot of work, which Dr. Carter communicated in a way that was clear and easy to understand. She laid out a game plan to get me back on track, and the gal in reception, Tiffany, has been fabulous about walking me through insurance and scheduling.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[74440].errors[0] }}
