Over 45 years I have come across many doctors and surgeons, but very few make you feel like they care about your well-being and never make you feel rushed or an inconvenience because of a question you might be asking at that time. Dr. Carlson is one of those few doctors who always made sure I understood everything that was happening or might happen, making sure I was comfortable with it and explaining why he was comfortable with the decision as well. His bedside manner is unparalleled.
