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."

Dr. Maurer is excellent. I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon to take care of my hip. UNSOLICITED <- The nurses at the hosital during my prep also said how good he was which just added to my confidence in his care.
