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.

Eye problem that was not a handle!
I had an issue with one of my eyes that I was worried might be related to a retina problem. After reading all the positive high ratings regarding Dr. Carlson I decided to contact his office. They suggested that I come in within several hours. This staff was friendly, professional and organized. The reviews were correct regarding Dr.. Carlson. He is well trained and extremely thorough. I had total confidence in his diagnosis; and relieved the problem was not a problem! I highly recommend Dr. Carlson.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Carlson?
As an older woman, I have been concerned about a diagnosed condition of macular degeneration and it's advancement. Dr. Carlson came highly recommended to me as one who could not only accurately diagnose my condition, but if necessary, was the absolute top ophthalmologist in the area to treat my condition. He did not fail to impress me. He assured me my condition was within normal limits and that it was reasonable to assume I would pass on from this world before the threat of any significant loss of vision would likely occur. His gentle reassurance provided me great stress relief. I would unhesitatingly recommend Dr Carlson to anyone requiring the assistance of an ophthalmologist.
