I had Achilles tendon repair surgery with Dr Carter and have been very grateful for his care and professionalism throughout my recovery. He takes the time to listen, explain things clearly, and makes you feel confident in the treatment plan. Highly recommended if you’re looking for an experienced and supportive orthopaedic surgeon.
All of my appointments with Mr Carter over the past 15 months have been great. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is a superb surgeon and communicates very well. I feel like I'm in really good hands with Mr Carter and I wouldn't want anyone else dealing with my foot issues. I feel very lucky to have found him.
Bob was brilliant at explaining my scans to me, answering all my questions, and talking through my options for surgery. He was also really communicative by email, and was fantastic with some insurance admin I needed help with. He was vital to me getting the support I needed.

I have seen a few surgeons in my time and I have to say that Mr Carter was incredible with what he performed on my foot, he explained everything and was clear from the first appointment to the last appointment.
Wow - I have been blown away by the professionalism, the level of expertise, the efficiency and lovely manner that Bob Carter has. His knowledge is incredible and he has a gift at being able to explain complicated medical diagnoses in a way that you can understand. Can't imagine there is a better foot & ankle specialist in the country.

After an unfortunate accident and breaking my ankle in 3 places Mr Carter came highly recommended from a family friend. The care and treatment I received from start to finish was impeccable. All questions were answered thoroughly before and after my surgery and my mind was always put at ease. My recovery has gone better than I could ever have imagined and Mr Carter is the main reason for that. A lovely man and a fabulous doctor.
Doctor Carter is a highly knowledgeable and experienced practitioner. In my experience, Doctor Carter went above and beyond in every aspect of care. He gave of his time so selflessly, showing true dedication and compassion. Truly an asset to the medical profession.
Many thanks for your kind review - it was a pleasure to try and help out.
