Why Modern Roots


A different kind of
healthcare experience

Big corporate medicine often feels rushed and disconnected — leaving patients unheard and without true solutions. Modern Roots Healthcare was built with intention, to be a warm, welcoming, home-like environment where you receive personalized, high-quality care.

"My goal is to combine medical expertise with a more thoughtful, individualized approach — helping each patient feel their best from the inside out."

One

Cash-Pay Clarity

No insurance limitations or rushed visits. Transparent pricing with no surprises — so we focus on what is truly best for you, not what a policy allows.

Two

Same-Day Access

Urgent care visits available the same day. No long waits, no crowded waiting rooms. In-person and telehealth options offered.

Three

Whole-Person Care

From preventative wellness to functional medicine and aesthetics — every visit treats you as a complete person, not just a set of symptoms.

Abby Carter, APRN. 14 years of healthcare experience, 7 years as a nurse practitioner. From Vanderbilt Children's Hospital to emergency medicine, family care, and gastroenterology — I've built a foundation in caring for patients across all stages of life.

I founded Modern Roots because I believe every patient deserves to feel heard, valued, and cared for as a whole person — not just another chart in a busy clinic.

Real words from
real patients

These are not curated marketing lines. These are actual messages and reviews from patients whose lives have changed through care at Modern Roots Healthcare.

““

I thank God every morning that he placed you in my life to help heal my gut. Truthfully, the past few weeks have been the best I have had since September. The fact that I’m able to get out and go has been so healing to me.

Direct Message
““

If you need a primary care provider, Abby Carter (Modern Roots Healthcare) is absolutely it! I switched this year and I don’t think I will ever go back to a “traditional” healthcare setting. Some of my favorite things: I live in Magnolia and she is literally 15 minutes down the road. When I need to see her, I don’t have to wait a week for an appointment — she gets me in almost immediately. I can be in and out in less than 20 minutes, no wasting half your day in a waiting room. She provides customized healthcare based on your goals and needs — that actually work! Today is a Sunday and my son wasn’t feeling well and she saw him today. If you are a Mom, you know how valuable that is! I saved my favorite for last — she may be our doctor but it’s worth more than anything to me to have a provider that also tells you “Hey Girl, I want you to know I’ve been praying for you.” And if you want a little Tox or Filler she can hook you up with that too!
