Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Always good eexperience when I need to see a Docto
Never a long wait and his PCs are all good.

Doctor shared my private info out loud and bullied me about my looks and personality. This was the first time he had even seen me after going to the clinic for over 6 years. He’s a bully. Front desk staff are rude, and there have been many extra charges I. My bill. Would not recommend

The best doctor I've ever had
Dr. Carlson always listens to my concerns. He hears everything you say. A lot of doctors stop listening after your first sentence, but Dr Carlson makes you feel he heard everything you said and ask questions to maje sure he understands what is going on.

About Me

care philosophy

Having a family doctor means having a doctor who knows you. You shouldn't be just a nameless face in the crowd hoping for the best. My eyes can tell me a lot, but my ears can tell me more because listening and healing go hand in hand.
