Dr Carter was great. First time seeing him for my knees.
I have had a few surgeries in my years but this is the 1st time I will have a piece of medical equipment put into my body. I have put this off for way too long and have had face shaking anxiety about this hip replacementuntil meeting Dr. Denny Carter. His resume and bed side manner confirmed many have said..I am in very very capable hands. Now I must do my part before and after the surgery to make sure I don't have any infections and my rehabilitation is a success. I am mentally ready..and that's because of Dr. Carter and his staff.
