I met Dr Carson and PA Shawna, back in 2018. Shawna listened & seemed to be interested at first but Dr Carson didn’t. He invaded my personal space & basically told me I was too young to have so many problems. He glanced at my paperwork & said he thought I’d “get over this”. He never really touched...Read More

I was not at all comfortable with his invasion of my personal space. Unless he is examining me, arm's length would be better than 10" from my face. I've been seeing his PA Sheril Matthews for several years, and not totally satisfied with her. I will request to see a different provider. I'm not...Read More

I saw Dr Carson since 2001. He is very caring, knowledgeable and listens. The problems started when I could no longer see Dr Carson, but saw his PA Sherril. I was not at all impressed with her. Now I am trying another rheumatologist.. I would give Dr Carson 5 Stars, but Sherril maybe 1 Star.

I felt like this was the first doctor and PA to hear me and truly understand how I felt! Eric, my PA for Dr Carson, is my lifeline. I have SLE and PsA, tested positive for other AI like RA and scleroderma. They helped me see a lifelong historical picture that explained so much. I love the care...Read More
