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.

I'm writing this review a few years after my one & only appointment with this provider, which ought to be telling of the impact the encounter had. I find it interesting that one of his specialties is "diagnosing and treating congenital heart defects" as he was incredibly dismissive and belittling when I came to him for just that, diagnosis of a congenital heart defect. I'm surprised that we were able to diagnose it, given that he was so adamant on my not needing the diagnostic procedure, only signing the order after I brought up extensive research validating my concerns, and only indicating that I did in fact have the condition vaguely and with a great deal of condescension. If this provider is your only option, expect to self-advocate and soothe his ego quite a bit to get your needs met; if he's not, I'd highly recommend you seek your care elsewhere.

Dr. Carlson was very knowledgeable, approachable, open and non-judgmental. He really listened to what I had to say and explained everything clearly. I never felt rushed and was able to discuss all of my thoughts and concerns. He fit me in for a stress test that day and the technician was very nice and professional as well. He has a very positive focus.

He is knowledgeable, friendly and will answer all questions without seeming to be in a hurry. His PA in practice with him, David Groves, is also very nice and easy to talk with.
