Dr. Carlson, it’s very kind. He listens to everything you have to say he does not rush you out like some doctors do. I have been to doctors that hurt my feelings, Dr. Carlson is not one of those doctors. He doesn’t take his eyes off of you doesn’t turn his back to you, this is something I look for in a doctor. I was treated with respect, I would highly recommend Dr. Carlson to my family and my friends. I’ve never been to a doctor that was caring. I’m sure they’re out there, but I haven’t run across one yet. He actually listens to you. Another thing I think is rare in some doctors.
