Dr Carlson has the ability to communicate what the symptoms I feel are being created by, and ways to manage them with just going to medication, and talking to me about how my diet can help me to maintain my weight since I'm having issues with my appetite.

Dr Carlson takes the time to know his patients and listen to them. Dr does not blow patients off and send them to 10 other drs for the same ailment. His bedside manner is amazing and he truly cares for his patients and does not discriminate. That is why we are on the wait list for my son to see Dr Carlson.
