Remembering Fred M. Carter II, MD, FAAOS, FACS (1960 - 2020)
Dr. Carter was the founding physician at North Fork Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine and provided compassionate orthopedic care for more than 20 years to the community.
He was a lifelong Long Islander. He graduated from Cornell University in 1982 with a double major in biology and physiology. He received his medical education from Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. After earning his medical degree, Dr. Carter completed an internship in surgery at St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital and a residency in orthopedic surgery at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. He completed a fellowship in sports medicine at the Emory Orthopaedic and Spine Center and an orthopedic research fellowship at the George L. Schultz Laboratories for Orthopaedic Research.
The North Fork community is one Dr. Carter was proud to be a part of and serve. His passions in life were his family and his profession, and he approached both with enthusiasm and a smile on his face.
