Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Foot and ankle experience.
I have been very pleased with Dr Carlson. He knows his stuff! He listens. I thought my after wearing a brace for many years my only option was amputation. He has helped me see my options. We are strengthening my foot and exploring whether I am a good candidate for an ankle replacement. I will be confident in him as a surgeon if that looks like it is the right decision. zhe has been kind a d patient with me!

Knee replacement
Dr Chad Carlson did my knee replacement in March of this year. The surgery went very well and I was able to go home the same day. I was able to walk with no assistance in 2 weeks and had my 6 week checkup and all great. He explained everything to me before I had the surgery. I am very satisfied with the result and planning on him replacing my other knee this fall. Would highly recommend him.
