Professional Bio
HEALTH is our most valuable commodity.
Make the most of your time by taking care of your health with my holistic approach to care, lifestyle modifications to optimize health, Telemedicine, and phone triage services in North and South Carolina. I will look at you as a whole person and help you stay your healthiest for as long as possible. After 20+ years in the ER, I am a Master Diagnostician and know the right questions to ask to determine what level of care you need.
My focus is on promoting whole person wellness and preventative care, typically as an adjunct to your primary care physician. We can talk via video, phone, or in person without the time restrictions imposed by insurance companies. Patient education includes lifestyle, nutrition, hydration, medications, supplements, anti-aging tips for better skin, hair and joint health, sleep hygiene, and what you can do to feel your best. I also offer basic wound care, sutures, and counseling on options for non-operative knee preservation rather than jumping to a knee replacement. Attention to detail and simple maintenance can keep you looking and feeling your best for a long time if you know the right things to do.
At Starr Vitality & Wellness, I believe in treating the whole person and focusing on preventative care. My approach to healthcare is rooted in the principles of lifestyle medicine and I educate patients from my personal experience as a lifelong athlete who has dealt with major injuries and as a cancer survivor at age 31. Tell me your health and lifestyle goals and we will work together to help you achieve them with personalized care.

Personal Statement
I’m Dr. Carter Starr, and after more than 20 years practicing Emergency Medicine, one thing became clear:
Most people don’t get the access, time, guidance, or partnership they need to stay well.
I started this practice because health shouldn’t be something you work on only when everything falls apart.
It should be built intentionally and steadily, with someone you trust. That’s how you save for retirement – why wouldn’t you take care of your body the same way?
My approach blends:
• Traditional medical training and practice
• Over 20 years of Emergency Medicine
• Non-operative Sports Medicine training
• A Lifestyle Medicine approach
• Stress management skills
• Movement and sports physiology
• Preventive care
• Real-world coaching
• and the Lived Experience of treating thousands of patients in complex situations
• PLUS My Own Experience as an injured Yale University NCAA division 1 varsity athlete and a cancer patient at age 31
I use all of this to help you feel better, function better, and create a life that supports your health so that you can Be Your BEST Version Of YOU!
I am Triple Board Certified in Emergency Medicine, Sports, and Lifestyle Medicine, and bring a unique perspective to my care.
You bring your goals.
I bring the medical expertise, the strategy, the clarity, the support, and the steady partnership to help you reach them.
