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.

Incredible Dr's & Staff.

Excellent work
Doctor take time to explain all what is important for your health and give you options for surgery. If is not for surgery he will tell you. Doctor is very excellent and very trustworthy. Dr. Carlson care about your health.

Receptionist Customer Service not good
Just trying to schedule an appointment was a challenge. Asking questions and getting answers proved very difficult and robotic responses to specific questions. If specialist get $275 for consult, I have questions prior to the appointment in attempt to make sure this is the right type of service for me. The receptionist needs more training on customer service. I will not be finding out what else. My health matters to me first. Keeping it moving.

Great ENT
Excellent staff. From scheduling (they pushed to get me in early), to the nurse that prepped me - everyone was efficient and effective. Dr. Carlson listened to all of my issues, didn't minimize anything and explained all of his findings in a way that made sense. He performed a thorough check and didn't rush me in and out of the office.

I was charged an audiologist fee "out of network", although the Dr. is "in-network", I was promised that they would cancel the bill. I talked to his staff about 5 or 6 times about that. Now 6 months later, I am in collections and Dr.'s office won't call back

Surgery was his first recommendation. Did not help. Got second opinion and new doctor told me surgery would be last resort. Feeling much better now with new treatment. Stay sway from Dr. Carlson!

I have been going to Dr. Carlson for several years, now regarding my ENT issues. What I like about Dr. Carlson is his ability and eagerness to listen and then to communicate with me about the issues at hand, in a very clear manner. His solutions and treatments for my issues are always on the money for curing the ailment. Always a pleasant experience to visit with Dr. Carlson!
