About Carter Maurer, MD
The medical field provides a unique opportunity to directly apply clinical principles and innovations while maintaining important personal relationships with patients. I enjoy providing education to my patients and assisting in the process of making the best decision regarding their care. My patients always come first and I believe they know when the timing is right for joint replacement surgery. A properly chosen knee or hip replacement surgery can restore the quality of life that may have been missing for decades in a patient. Outside of work, I enjoy time with my wife and two young children and look forward to the day I am told I have "spare time."

Patient reviews
Verified Patient
October 23, 2024Dr Maurer is wonderful. I originally saw him five years ago for a badly damaged lateral meniscus. He performed a partial knee replacement, leaving my good medial meniscus intact. Three months ago, I fell, injuring the repaired knee, right forearm, and head and was treated in ER. Two weeks later the knee had to be drained of about five ounces of blood in ER.My PCP assumed my care for the damaged skin. Because the knee continues to swell and subside with rest, Ice packs, compression, and elevation (RICE), my PCP contacted Dr Maurer over the weekend. Monday morning Dr Maurer called. Then his PA called. He saw me at noon. X-rays were negative. He told me that he wants to continue conservative treatment and I should follow with him, if I continue to have issues with the knee.I would recommend him for anyone who needs knee surgery.
