Dr. Dalton Carter, MD

Dr. Dalton Carter earned his undergraduate degree from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge and his medical degree from McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston, where he also completed his residency.

Dr. Carter is a board-certified family medicine specialist who also holds certificates in basic life support (BLS) and advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS). He has been in practice since 2020 and treats patients of all ages.

While Dr. Carter treats the full range of primary care conditions, his major clinical interest is preventative care. Often ill patients, he observes, tend to struggle when they’re confronted with lots of medications and information, but when conditions can be dealt with before they become problems, it is easier for patients in the long term.

His philosophy of patient care is based on empathy—listening to his patients, making sure they enjoy their visits and using a team-based approach to working with them. The most satisfying part of practicing medicine for him is being involved in the healing process and seeing improvement from initial visit, to diagnosis, to conditions either being resolved or stabilized.

Dr. Carter is a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians, American Medical Association, Texas Academy of Family Physicians and Texas Medical Association.
