I have been a patient of Dr. Carlson for years now. She is wonderful! A gynecology appointment is always stressful but Dr. Carlson is so low-key that my stress almost disappears. She is 5+ stars all the way.

Dr. Carlson is a fantastic doctor who really listens and doesn't make you feel you are one more in her list of patients of the day. She makes you feel like she had all the time in the world for you and you feel you have her whole attention. Very respectful of your wishes for your health and your desired outcomes and points of view. Very knowledgeable about female issues and very humble but confident. She is obviously a great professional and a fantastic and compassionate human being.

This doctor is amazing! She is knowledgeable with incredible bedside manner. She puts me completely at ease and I was so comfortable having her deliver my daughter. I wish I’d have known about her for my first daughter.
