Right distal radius fracture bow hunting with his cast

Dr Carlson has replaced both of my knees, plus he removed scar tissue from one. He is good at listening and explaining everything. He also has a delightful personality! His staff is also excellent.

I had a partial knee replacement failure at mayo and before that problems with await and see attitude. I in desperation went to dr. Carlson and got answers in 15 minutes and best of all his assurance he would fix me and he did. He is a great surgeon, a grea...

I would like Dr. Carlson to know that my knee is doing very well. I am back to doing everything I love!

Thank you so very much, for giving me my "new legs" in January. My knee replacements will always be a reminder of your outstanding skill as a surgeon, and your ongoing support and compassion. And many thanks for having such a wonderful, caring nurse in Leah.

Dr Carlson recently repaired a rotator cuff and bicep tear on my right shoulder. While I doubt anyone has a desire to go through such a surgery, having the right doctor really eases the anxiety and stress of the process. Not only is Dr Carlson an incredible surgeon, but his skill at communicating wi...
