Carter Stephen P MD

Dr. Carter was very unprofessional for pregnancy checkups. We only went to see him once when I was around 24 weeks pregnant (still was trying to find a good OBGYN) and he had a very cold personality. He would start asking really awkward/​unnecessary questions and then asking if I was a «fat» baby, when I didn’t know how much I weighed when I was born he assumed I didn’t talk to my parents or didn’t know them, and was assuming my husband and I weren’t married because we are under 30. Also he made my husband very uncomfortable by ignoring him and kept him out of our conversations even when I tried to include him-​he did not appreciate that at all. Also when he did the Pap smear check up he never talked about what he was doing or why he just said he has to check and didn’t say when he was starting/​what he was doing during the process (like any normal OBGYN I have been to for regular check ups) or if everything looked fine he was very insensitive. He also spread my legs apart and told me I should «probably get used to it because this is what’s going to happen during labor/​pregnancy everyone is just going to be staring at your vagina» (Which also left me bleeding for a day after– which they say can be normal, but it didn’t help me feel any better on top of him being insensitive. Plus I have had many more cervix checks and no blood. Thanks for that Carter!) During the ultrasound he was quick and would barley let us see our son let alone listen to his heartbeat– thank God that wasn’t our first ultrasound. To says the least I left feeling SO emotional and uncomfortable I started crying– and I haven’t cried all of my pregnancy by maybe once or twice still today. I hope this save some pregnant or not woman the same feelings.

He is every profession and very helpful. Had two sugrey with him and both have helped. I had one doctor there before him and she didn’t find a problem. I went to him a few months later and he found the problem.

This Doctor started out so nice and professional during my pre-​pregnancy work up. After I became pregnant, there was an attitude change. He is very negative and unprofessional. He had me in tears. After my terrible experience with him, (not his office… They were great) I have heard similar experiences by others. I will NEVER return to him for care.
