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.

Dr. Carlson will discharge you from his practice if you seek a 2nd opinion. After 4 days in the hospital, and medication changes, at the first follow up appt, Dr Carlson had asked who authorized the change in meds, when he had done it himself, he does not explain things, and does not take the time to go over blood work, test results etc. It took an ER Dr to give me test results and let me know how improved my cardiac issues were. I will never recommend this Dr! Waste of time.
