Bio & Overview

As an internal medicine provider, Lindsay C. Carter, MD, MBA, specializes in providing primary care to patients 18 years old and up.

She has a special interest in women’s health, complex chronic diseases, and wellness and prevention.

Dr. Carter, who always dreamed of becoming a doctor, is passionate about helping people and enjoys connecting with her patients.

“I am collaborative, approachable, kind, and a good listener,” Dr. Carter says. “I am also meticulous, with attention to all details.”

A native of the Chicago suburbs, Dr. Carter earned her bachelor’s degree from Princeton University, where she studied health policy, completed her pre-med requirements, and ran varsity track – primarily the 800-meter race.

She then went to Harvard Medical School and Harvard Business School, where she earned a joint MD/MBA degree. This allowed her to pursue interests in both clinical practice and health care systems. After graduating from Harvard, Dr. Carter completed her residency in internal medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, where she also served as chief resident.

From 2016 to 2022, she was an attending primary care physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital, with an academic appointment as an instructor at Harvard Medical School. She also served as an attending physician on Brigham and Women’s Inpatient Integrated Teaching Unit, and was assistant program director for the hospital’s Internal Medicine Residency Program.

Committed to innovation in healthcare, Dr. Carter has served in multiple clinical leadership roles. As founding medical director of the Cancer Diagnostic Service at Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center, she established a clinic for patients presenting with signs or symptoms of cancer but no definitive diagnosis.

Most recently, she has worked for Devoted Health, where she established and launched several innovative clinical programs for members and developed health education content.

Outside of work, Dr. Carter enjoys spending time with her husband and three children. Dr. Carter loves being active, especially running, swimming, biking, and hiking.

Dr. Carter appears to be knowledgeable and very capable. She does ask questions but has difficulty listening. Even when she hears a response recommendations: Develop empathy for patients and provide latitude for them to provide insights into their health (they are experts in what their bodies experience, feel, etc.). Encourage their input. DEVELOP relationships with patients please try to avoid diminishing what patients bring to these relationships. Dr. Carter has so much to share that could benefit them! Stepping back from overloading the typical patient with information and listening in a supportive way, would improve their health care or - at least - leave them feeling less diminutive. Mutually respectful relationships are as meaningful as excellent clinical care! Best with her efforts to develop this aspect of her practice.
