Patient Reviews
Dec 23, 2017
Dr. Carlson performed heart surgery on my father~in~law last year and we were elated.....not only with his ability to do a perfect procedure, but his kindness and care as he met with us afterwards and explained what went on in the O.R. I felt like he treated "Larry" as if he were his only patient! Followup visits were just as important to Dr. Carlson and he was genuine with how he treated all of us during this very scary time in our lives. "We love you, Dr. Carlson!"
