Patient Reviews
Apr 21, 2017
Dr. Cater filled in for our pediatrician on a recent visit while our toddler daughter was ill. I have never felt more at ease with a new physician. Dr. Cater was cordial, knowledgeable, and quite thorough. He took time to get a complete picture of my daughter's presenting symptoms, and even though it turned out to be common childhood illness stuff, Dr. Cater made us feel like we mattered.
