Dr. James Carlson is a star!!! He is thorough, very, very knowledgeable, asks questions exams, and informs me.
He includes discussions on research and changes I can do to improve my health w/o increasing more meds. An example; limit carbs for my type 2. I did and do- my A1C has gone from 7.4 to 5.6.

He's been the second best doctor i ever had. Only surpassed by my childhood doctor, doctor Pruett. He's a really great doctor and I have recommended to several people looking for a doctor.
