I loved meeting Dr. Carlson. He has become one of my favorites in the practice. Very calm and informative. Explained everything well and took his time with us. Didn't feel rushed and didn't have questions leaving the office.

We love Dr Carlson. He is always so attentive. I never feel rushed and no question is too silly. He takes the time to listen and explain things. We have been seeing him since my daughter was born and will keep coming back. The residents have all been great too that we see first. I'm so glad we found him for our doctor.
