Dr. Sterling L. Carter has always believed that healing is both a science and a calling. Long before he founded Sterling Physical Therapy & Wellness, he was serving his country as a U.S. Army Officer—leading soldiers, caring for military families, and learning the true meaning of service. Over the course of his military career, he served in three wartime operations and retired honorably in 2018 at the rank of Major. The discipline, compassion, and leadership he gained in uniform now shape the way he serves every patient.
After earning his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree, Dr. Carter set out with a mission: build a clinic where people feel seen, supported, and genuinely cared for. What began as a single location has grown into a best-in-class healthcare organization trusted by thousands. His hands-on approach and the patented Sterling Treatment Method have helped countless patients move without pain, regain confidence, and return to the life they love.
Dr. Carter is also a Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Golf Professional, blending his clinical expertise with his love of the game to help golfers prevent injury, improve mechanics, and perform at their highest level.
Beyond his clinical work, he is a best-selling author, mentor, entrepreneur, and proud veteran—but his greatest pride comes from the impact Sterling PT & Wellness has on the community he serves.
Every patient who walks through the doors is treated like family. Every success story reinforces his belief: when people are cared for at the highest level, their lives truly change.
