She cleaned up my MyChart and asked follow up about what was on there and why. She asked detailed about why I why I seeing her and went through my test results thoroughly. She examined me and asked what I was doing to help alleviate the symptoms. She offered her diagnosis and ways to approach it from different angles. Not just meds-which I appreciated. We’re doing a follow up so I can get allergy tested and start allergy shots. Yeah, I can build up my immunity system! Dr. Carter was a refreshing surprise!
