I wouldn't have chosen this Aetna-MAP if I hadn't seen her in-network.  I did see her IN-NETWORK when choosing a Health care plan-MAP.
Presently, states she is OON. I will be talking to the support staff for an explanation.

I have had Dr. Kristen Blackwell Carr as my PCP for the past 13 years, the entire time I've been in South Carolina. I chose her primarily because she is 
female and educated in the Northeast, same as me, as an RN.  I find her very intelligent, punctual, and responsive to my concerns.
She has a great staff working that have been with her for the same amount of time I have been a patient of the practice. 
She provides specific examples to support her opinion while maintaining privacy and respecting medical ethics. 
I would highly recommend her practice to anyone looking for a new PCP.
