Dr. Carter had the exact bedside manner you'd hope for with your toddler and the exact level of expertise you'd hope for when weighing options for your child. That she has children, and thus I could ask "What would you do if it was your own?" was an immense help.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review. I’m glad you felt supported when discussing the various options for your child, and coming to a decision together about what was best for him. Hopefully no more ear infections!

Dr Carter was brilliant. She had a great manner with our three year old daughter and efficiently removed wax blocking each of her ears. An excellent service.

Thank you so much - although I can not take all the credit. Most 3 year olds do not tolerate it as well as your daughter, so she did all of the hard work!

Exceptional Pediatric ENT Care - Highly Recommended My 3-year-old son had been suffering from multiple ear infections, and we suspected he was experiencing hearing difficulties. After contacting numerous doctors who ultimately didn't accept pediatric patients, someone recommended Dr. Alison Carter. We were able to schedule an appointment quickly with Dr. Ali for both a hearing test and consultation. Her staff members are genuinely caring and helpful. Dr. Ali was incredibly kind and patient with both my son and me. For the first time, my child actually enjoys going to the doctor! When Dr. Ali initially explained that my son needed surgery, I wasn't prepared for the news. However, she patiently answered all my questions a few days later when I had recovered from the initial shock, even though she had already explained the process thoroughly during our first visit. On the day of surgery, we were pleasantly surprised by how wonderfully the entire team interacted with children. Dr. Ali's expertise we already knew, but her entire team—including the anesthesiologist and nurses—was equally impressive. They explained everything to us and, more importantly, to my son using age-appropriate language and visual aids in a playful manner that kept him calm and unafraid. As a result, we felt at ease too. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Ali to any parent seeking an ENT specialist for their children.

We had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Carter during our baby’s tongue-tie procedure. From the moment we walked in, she made us feel completely at ease. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and treated our baby with so much gentleness and care. The procedure itself was quick, smooth, and far less stressful than we imagined. Dr. Carter checked in with us afterward, gave us helpful guidance for aftercare, and made sure we felt supported every step of the way. We noticed an immediate improvement, and our baby is doing so well now! We are incredibly grateful for Dr. Carter’s expertise, kindness, and compassion. Highly recommend her to any parents considering this procedure!

So pleased with the care we received from Dr Carter. She was patient, explained everything and made my 4 year old feel so comfortable. He even let her use a scope up his nose! We are very happy to be under her care. Highly recommend.

I'm so glad - I can't take the credit though, he was a star patient letting me scope him!

Alison is a wonderful clinician, incredibly kind, patient and caring and always has time for everyone. Her patient care is exceptional. She has been a mentor and fantastic colleague throughout my own training and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She kindly arranged to see my own son when he had stridor (breathing problems) as a newborn and I would take my own children to see her again in an instant.
