Carter Conwell B, MD

Hello, I am a former client of the well know Dr. Carter and need to fined my files. Would anyone know where he has been relocated or where he had sent all his patents files? I feel he has retired and I’m a Navy spouse. I travel so, I may have missed an e-​mail or mail with that information as to where he was forwarding his records. Please Help!

Dr. Carter i an amazing man with up to date info on birth control and pregnancy months ahead of most, he is personable, his staff is kind and he is open to YOUR needs. He interviews you before moving ahead with treatment in a very comfortable way and environment.
Every time I go in for an exam he plays jazz on his iSystem for me to listen to, has a comfortable office and has the best attitude. I have great conversations with him and am lucky to have found such a gem in the medical field for something so personal as an OBGYN.
Oh most importantly his medical treatment is stellar and so is his staff.

For all of you who are trying to locate Dr. Carter… He is now in Conneticut. He had an unbelievable offer from Yale and couldn’t pass it up. Believe me… He is the best there is and Yale knew it! His office staff did contact most patients as well as offer all medical records and reference to a couple other doctors. One of his references is Dr. Harvey Richmond at Cedars. I’ve been to him already and although he’s no Dr. Carter, his bedside manner is just as sincere!

I have been a patient for 12 years and can’t get a hold of him. WTF? Does anyone know what happened to him? Why would he not notify his patients if he is closing his practice? It would have been nice to know so I could have started looking for a new doctor.

How did you find out he closed his practice? I’ve been a patient for 20 years and now can’t track him down!

I’ve been trying to reach Dr. Carter’s office for the last week but the phone number seems to be disconnected. Does anybody have some insight?

YAY! BEST OBGYN EVER!!! This guy and his staff are absolutely amazing. I feel so comfortable with him, he’s very knowledgeable and wants the best for you. After going through a very tough time emotionally and physically last year practically alone, the staff really stepped up and took care of me. Virginia is a rock star and makes taking blood like a walk in the park, and Erika deals with all the nasty insurance people so I don’t have to. He’s seriously the best doctor I’ve ever been to, and the best staff for a doctor I’ve ever experienced as well! I got really lucky because I had to pick someone on my insurance and he was my first choice. I hope you’re just as lucky as I was!

Everything was fine until I had my procedure done. After, I find out that Dr. Carter’s office over charge me over $ 150. I would have never known if I hadn’t called my insurance company because the $ 800 (this is NOT including what my insurance covered) I was told the procedure would cost beforehand turned into a $ 3000 procedure! When I called the office to get help they told me it wasn’t their problem and to deal with my insurance. I asked for the $ 150 refund in June and they asked me to come pick it up. I work and would lose money to go pick up the check during their office hours so asked them to mail it. It’s November and I call them once every week or so but still don’t have my check for the mistake they made. This is the WORST doctor’s office I’ve ever been to. They have absolutely no concern for the patient and seem like a scam.

After reading the rave reviews here, I went to Dr Carter. His front receptionist is really not on top of things. She would constantly mess up the paperwork, changes office hours daily it’s difficult to get her to answer the phone if you’re not calling between 9:30am-3pm. Which is a problem if you’re waiting in another doctor’s office that won’t see you until the paperwork she did is correct. I had to wait until 9:30am for her to arrive at work before my 8:45am doctor appt could continue. Dr Carter took over a month to answer an email that the receptionist told me she personally made him see and swore he checked every day. I was even told to call in at a certain time to find out test results and when I called exactly to the minute at that time, the office answering machine answered saying they were closed (it was 4pm). When I told Dr Carter of the disorganization I was experiencing, he seemed offended and angry. I was just trying to let him know, not asking for any change as I had already made up my mind to switch doctors.
The nurse is great, friendly, down to earth. I was really happy with her. Dr Carter is friendly and seems to know his stuff, but I felt like he didn’t listen to my concerns and labeled me as an over-​worrier and thus invalidated anything I said. Maybe it’s due to the lack of organization in his office, but I felt like I was constantly slipping thru the cracks. I only had one test to check out what was wrong with me in the 6 months I was experiencing symptoms. I’ve been with my new doctor for 1 week and already have 3 tests scheduled. I’m much more confident that she will help me figure out what’s wrong.
Also his waiting room, he shares with another doctor who is an emergency care doctor. So the wait room can be uncomfortable as there are people there with a wide range of illnesses. If I was pregnant that would make me very uncomfortable.

THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES — LONG LOST CHAPTER
Hey, girlfriends, get your ass (oops, I mean vagina) over to Dr. Carter ASAP. He’s one of the few remaining dinosaurs, who still runs his solo practitioner clinic as a doctor, not a business corporation.
Here’s another example of a geographically undesirable romance gone RIGHT. He’s in Beverly Hills, I’m in Redondo Beach, but again, like in my last review — totally worth the drive.
Quick story to illustrate:
A few years ago, he wasn’t part of my insurance for a year or so and I had some issue, for which, I was told by 2 other OBGYNs, I would need surgery. I decided to go to Dr. Carter and pay out of pocket, just to hear his opinion, before I have the surgery. I was pretty panicked. Always the non-​alarmist, he said, «Well, let’s see about that.»
Well, 3 minutes, 2 stirrups and 1 Dr. Carter later — the «issue» was fixed, no surgery needed. That’s how good he is.
Bonus points for his staff. Virginia, the nurse, is the best, always there to help with whatever is necessary, be it her immediate nursing duties, or getting a referral for a test, helping the front office, or simply holding your hand if you are in pain. She’s been with Dr. Carter forever, and I hope neither ever retires.
Erika, the new kid on the block, runs the front office well, with efficiency and a nice friendly attitude. If there was ever a problem with the front office, as one reviewer mentioned, it is no more. The entire machine is well-​lubricated (sorry, couldn’t help myself ;-)) and running smoothly.
Extra bonus points for Dr. Carter’s love of art and jazz. Anything feels better when instead of staring at the ceiling, as you-​know-​what is going on, you can watch a Kandinsky-​inspired mobile twirl above you and listen to Ella.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Carter for approximately 7 years now, and while I like him and his longtime nurse Virginia, his front office person changed and Beth is very disorganized and slow to respond to requests for the basics like RX refills, follow-​up on lab results, and getting questions to the doctor and/​or his nurse. In October 2008 it took 4 calls to the office to get Dr. Carter to call me back regarding a hormone issue that was initially discovered by my thyroid specialist. When I finally got into Dr. Carter’s office, they were totally confused on what meds I had been taking and basically didn’t care that I had bloodwork from the thyroid doctor confirming a hormone issue. Dr. Carter put me on the totally wrong meds and made my hormones even more unbalanced. I got the distinct impression that he just didn’t care to deal with a patient with premature menopause because it would have taken more than 10 minutes to deal with me. I have been seeing a very expensive hormone specialist, Dr. Jennifer Berman who does not take any form of insurance and has become a challenge (see my other review). I am still looking for a doctor that can take care of my annual pap and pelvic exam and straighten out my hormones without costing a fortune. I don’t want to go back to Dr. Carter because he’s too busy to care anymore.

Okay, this is personal but people should know… Dr. Carter is an amazing gyno! He is so sweet, has the best bedside manner, is caring, and extremely knowledgable. Sometimes, I don’t know what I’d do without him. His staff is also amazingly warm and efficient. Virginia, his nurse, has been with him for years, and she and Dr Carter make an amazing team.
I am so happy to have found this warm, wonderful office, for something that is usually uncomfortable. Dr. Carter and his staff make something every woman dreads an enjoyable experience.
