Inquiry on Dr. Richard Carter in Arlington, TX

August 29, 2005

I am thinking about using this Dr. and wondered if anyone has used him and what they thought. I appreciate any help.

I had my band done by Dr Carter in June. He seems very competent. Biggest complaint I had was that he did not order any pain med at all after surgery... he sends you home on phenergan for nausea and toradol which is an antiinflammatory. I hurt like hell for 4 days.

I have been back for the first fill.....again, he explains what he is doing, which is wonderful, but he does get impatient with too many questions.

I am glad I had it done but if I had it to do over, I would make sure I had some liquid lortab in my home for the post op days.

I was banded by Dr Carter on 4/07 and have lost 70 lbs. I was very satisfied with him and his staff. He is conservative with fills and brings you along slowly, which in hindsight, I believe to be a good thing.
