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.

Dr. Elise Carlson is truly top-notch.
Every single appointment from the first to our last, was exemplary. Sadly, I had to move out of state and I cannot stand not having Dr. Carlson by my side. An angel in disguise.

A thorough and knowledgeable physician that cares about her patients. She is always available for her patients whether in the office or by phone. By far exceeds all expectations that I have. I highly recommend her.

She is a great doctor, I wish my other doctor's were more like her. She's caring, knowledgeable, and she always response back. At my visits I always ask questions, sometimes the same ones and she always takes the time to answer them thoroughly. I'm glad to have her.

A physician who cares more about being at home on time than her patients. Slow to reply to calls, missed requests for refills on prescriptions and rude office staff. After going through withdraw for the 4th time due to missed refills, I decided go elsewhere.

Dr. Carlson had a profound impact on my mother's quality of life. She treated her arthritis more effectively than any previous doctor, listening carefully, explaining her decisions, and making recommendations that seemed appropriate for her age and condition.
