He is thorough, thoughtful, knowledgeable, patient, asks questions, listens, and informative. He has been #1in giving me information to improve my health without increasing meds. My A1C is now near normal level… my weight is gradually lowering. I listen to his suggestions and follow his 1/2 sheet info on weight loss. I feel better and am gradually losing weight. Dr. Carlson is #1 .
