Where do I start. Been seeing Doctor Carlson for over 10 years monthly. He actually gave and continues to give me a quality of life I was losing. He treats my severe chronic pain with compassion and understanding. Something that not a lot of doctors do. Not even pain management doctors prescribe opioids. Doctor Carlson I believe vettes his patients professional with care and understanding. He is definitely an asset to our community. A unicorn I say.

Dr. Carlson is the best! I was released from the hospital a week ago and I had some concerns about what was going on with my health. Dr. Carlson took the time to explain all the testing and everything to me and put my mind at ease.
