Dr. Carter was appalling. The best way to describe him based on my experience is that he is the anti-therapist. He's like a therapist but does the opposite. Instead of providing valuable insight, he provides scathing unconstructive criticism. He interrupts when you try to explain things and rolls his eyes. He shamed me for what I wasn't able to do instead of offering real actionable feedback. I don't know if I just caught him on a bad day but it was like this man was on a mission to tear me down as a person. I came out of his office feeling like someone just took my self esteem and brain and shattered both with a freight train before setting it on fire. I'm not someone who cries easily but I was on the verge of tears. I'm sure this man was wonderful to many of his patients but this patient right here felt completely destroyed. He ordered labs and an appointment 1 month from now but after some thought, I decided that I did not want to see this doctor again. I called and cancelled everything. read more

Dr Don Carter has been my "go to" doctor for nose and throat issues for years and he is one of the most caring, intelligent doctors I've ever been to. He really is kind and takes his time to listen to all your issues. We are lucky to have such an experienced ENT doctor in the Merced area. read more

Dr Carter is a good doctor however the office practice sucks. Apparently it doesn't matter if you have an appt because they double and triple book them. Brought my 85 yr old aunt in for her scheduled appt. So if your appt is at 10:20 don't hold your breath. 5 people already waiting and it was 10:10. A patient came in after we did and said he was a walk he was told to come in at 10:20. Smh. Be prepared for at least an hour wait on top of waiting in the room. ‍ read more

I made an appointment with Dr. Carter because I needed to have some ear wax removed. After I told him that I had sinus issues, he talked to me about that, too. At that point, it was close to 5:00, but he took the time with me and gave me a prescription for nasal sprays that greatly helped my problem. I found him to be serious and no-nonsense, but he really showed concern, and I will continue to see him as issues arise. read more

Dr. Carter is strat forward and somewhat kind his bedside needs help but he is the best in the earea. He is honest And tells you when he is stumped he won't ever give up. read more

Dr Carter has been a blessing to me and my family. I've been going to the Doctor in merced for 2 years. Finally I get referd to Dr Carter for an ear infection. With his expertise he found I had a hole in my ear drum and a mass on my right thyroid. I've been checked by all different Doctors and they didn't find nothing. Dr Carter is what you call unique!! I have the cheapest insurance never been treated so good and we'll respected. He is a very humble man and has Compassion. Thank you Dr Carter for changing my life!! I pray for this man every day! read more

We were referred to Dr. Carter from our primary care physician and I am glad this is where we landed. Dr. Carter himself is more soft spoken but he did warm up to us more after we met with him a few times. Ultimately he is the one who suspected and ultimately performed the biopsy to confirm my husband has cancer. Obviously I wish we weren't living this right now but without Dr. Carter's attention to detail and QUICK response to his concerns, my husband is now being seen at Stanford Cancer Center. As for the office staff. Veronica is efficient as heck. I just loved her! The office manager Bryan is beyond kind, helpful and cooperative. He worked with me on his day off and faxed me over some documents that I needed for a piece of mind while we waited to get in to Stanford. read more

Dr Carter and all his staff are awesome, they are nice, kind, helpful, I had an appointment on April 22, 2011, I was nervous not sure what to expect but all the staff made me feel better, Dr Carter really cares about his patients, The bathrooms and office are always clean! read more

I saw Dr. Carter because i was suffering from severe sleep apnea. I was extremely nervous and he put me at ease. he was very confident and intelligent with his recommendations. he performed an adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy on me two weeks ago and i could not have asked for anything better. he explained every step of the surgery to me, and performed the surgery very quickly. i healed VERY fast with ZERO complications. no infections, no bleeding, very minimal pain, no vomiting, i was able to talk and eat soup the same day i got surgery. i actually almost missed my surgery because i missed the call from the hospital. i called dr carter after hours on his personal cell phone and he immediately figured out what was going on with my appointment time. i would reccommend dr carter to anyone and everyone! read more

Awesome ENT. Front staff is nice and polite and very helpful. Dr Carter comes off a little gruff but is a very competent and friendly doctor. His office is so busy he doesn't really doesnt waste time with chit chat it's all professional. read more

My experience was with their Audiologist. She was very nice and professional. Their facility and tools are new and geared towards the patient. Sure I might be a little biased, because I got a same day appointment and was in and out within 30 minutes, with professional results. It was an overall good experience. read more

Mr. Carter (notice I did not use Dr. ) quickly miss-diagnosed that I had meniere's disease even though I had explained that I had recently fired a rifle against the side of a building without hearing protection and went in originally asking if I had caused damage to my hearing. I paid the doctor fees IN FULL and yet they continue to try to get $34.00 out of me and are threatening to turn me over to collections. DO NOT SEEK HELP FROM THIS DOCTOR, HE IS GUILTY OF MALPRACTICE! Also a side note is that I spent a total of 5 min. with this doctor, all the rest of the time for all visits were with his staff. PS, my hearing has since totally cleared up and two other Doctors have determined I do not have Meniere's disease. read more

I just wanted to thank Dr.Carter's office manager for being so kind and helpful. Both ear nose and throat MD were completely booked until May and my husband is very sick and needed to be seen ASAP. The other office was very rude and insensitive. We cant wait two months for a potential health threat. Carter's office was nice enough to put me through with Brian their office manager and miraculously he was able to get us in this week! It is nice to be heard and treated like a fellow human being. When your dealing with someones health, you shouldn't have to feel like your on the phone with the DMV. Thank you for being so cool! read more

I personally had a positive experience with Dr. Carter. I had sinus headaches everyday that were so bad that I was prescribed pain pills. I had a CT scan and Dr. Carter did surgery and the sinus headaches are gone. Thank goodness. I do have headaches at times but not like the ones I was having on a daily basis. The surgery went will with no complications and pain was minimal. I was out and about in 2 days. The headaches disappeared immediately. Thank you Dr. Carter and Staff:) Happy patient here. read more

I saw dr carter on April 26th 2016, the front desk was polite and helpful but Donald Carter was completely short and impatient and just plain rude to me. When asking me when I had my lab work done and hen I was trying to recall he said, "I wasn't there with you, I don't know when it was just gimme a date." So I made a guess. He was getting angry when he couldn't find the paper he was looking for. Overall I felt ignored and he showed that he clearly did not care about his patients. I've heard from others that he is very rude to welfare patients, but not to the ones who pay. read more
