Dr. McCarter and her staff were very friendly. Courtney greeted me with a beautiful smile and checked me in quickly and Dee took me to the back. She was very nice and friendly. Dr. McCarter listened to my questions and concerns and answered them. She has an affectionate spirit and I highly recommend her and her team to all patients.

I think Dr McCarter is an excellent surgeon. She is very caring and concerned. If I had to have surgery again I would definitely choose her to do it. However, I do think she was dismissive of other health concerns and conditions that may have contributed to my need for surgery. Issues that have improved but have not disappeared since surgery. Overall, though, I give her an "A" for her expertise.

The front staff, nurse and doctor ALL were EXCELLENT! Each was patient and friendly. A scary situation turned out GREAT due to the care EACH gave me!

I was very pretty much satisfied. She didn't know why I was there at first. I told her, we recommended her, referred me to her, but I was at the wrong doctor, but she took care of me the best she could with the wrong information that she was giving. And I appreciate her for that. Thank you.

September 16, 2026

Dr. McCarter was absolutely great. I usually suffer from severe "white coat syndrome" because I often feel like doctors are rushing to get to the next patient or just want to prescribe a pill to mask my symptoms. Dr. McCarter was completely different. She was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely made me feel like she cared and listened. Instead of pushing a single agenda, she gave me all the necessary information to make my own informed decisions. She never presented her opinion as the only right way, which I deeply appreciated.

I'm very happy with the excellent work that your team did. I'm glad you looked beyond my self diagnosis to find the real problem I was having. Great work all around!

Dr. McCarter has been amazing since my first visit with her. She has a way of putting you at ease immediately. She listens, answers any questions you have and never makes you feel rushed. She has called me personally several times during my care and made me feel truly cared for. She is such an asset to Wellstar Spalding and I have shared my experience with friends and family. Never let her go!!!!! Also, the team in the Women's Center were fabulous as well. This was a scary time for me and all of these women went above and beyond to care for me. Top notch job, ladies!!!

I'm very happy with the excellent work that your team did. I'm glad you looked beyond my self diagnosis to find the real problem I was having. Great work all around!

Dr. McCarter was absolutely great. I usually suffer from severe "white coat syndrome" because I often feel like doctors are rushing to get to the next patient or just want to prescribe a pill to mask my symptoms. Dr. McCarter was completely different. She was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely made me feel like she cared and listened. Instead of pushing a single agenda, she gave me all the necessary information to make my own informed decisions. She never presented her opinion as the only right way, which I deeply appreciated.

I was acknowledged the moment I walked in. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and made the check in a breeze. The doctor's assistant was just as friendly and easy to talk to. Dr. McCarter came in with a genuine smile that made my day. She was very thorough and was able to answer any questions I had. I can honestly say it's an amazing staff! Thank you

I was very pretty much satisfied. She didn't know why I was there at first. I told her, we recommended her, referred me to her, but I was at the wrong doctor, but she took care of me the best she could with the wrong information that she was giving. And I appreciate her for that. Thank you.

Dr. McCarter and her staff were very friendly. Courtney greeted me with a beautiful smile and checked me in quickly and Dee took me to the back. She was very nice and friendly. Dr. McCarter listened to my questions and concerns and answered them. She has an affectionate spirit and I highly recommend her and her team to all patients.

I think Dr McCarter is an excellent surgeon. She is very caring and concerned. If I had to have surgery again I would definitely choose her to do it. However, I do think she was dismissive of other health concerns and conditions that may have contributed to my need for surgery. Issues that have improved but have not disappeared since surgery. Overall, though, I give her an "A" for her expertise.
