"Dr. Carr starting helping me mid-way through my pregnancy and I couldn’t be happier. She’s thorough, knowledgeable, and always rules out any potential issues. She stays on top of things so no issues arise, and I really appreciate a proactive approach. She’s down to earth, explains everything so well, and never rushes you at your appointment."
