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.

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!!!
