Amazing vet hospital! Dr Linda saved my cats life when other vets misdiagnosed and the whole team worked together to do so! If I could give 10 stars I would!

We love this veterinarian, they are kind, caring, compassionate, and very loving to the animals. A little on the higher end in terms of pricing, however, they know they're stuff and it's well worth it!

We have received care for our dog and cats at Carter's with the greatest of compassion and expertise. I was especially taken aback by the wonderful treatment we received and the tenderness shown as we had to put our dog Oakley to sleep. Highly recommended. Could do with more staff or increased capacity due to popularity of Carter's. Had to call multiple times when busy to get through.
