Dr. Carlson first saw me on an emergency basis and immediately referred me to a retinal specialist for a same day appointment that ultimately saved the sight in both my eyes. He later performed cataract surgery on one of my eyes without incident and I simply would not go to anyone else for my eye care. Dr. Carlson has an infectious sense of humor that invariably puts his patients at ease. Highly recommend!

I got the appointment with Dr. Carlson just to get a different opinion on the redness in my left eye. Dr. Sarbora had done cataract surgery in December and January but didn't really do anything to address the redness. I had seen Dr. Carlson a while back (1993?) and I really liked him then. He hasn't changed, still very good at eye problems. He told me some different things to do and I was very satisfied. Thank you!

Several years ago my husband began seeing multiple images versus one image. He saw two eye doctors who were unsure what was wrong with his eye. The second one referred us to Dr. Carlson, who diagnosed an unusual form of cataract. He showed me the cataract. Dr. Carlson removed the cataract, and my husband could see perfectly again. We highly recommend him! Years later the other eye needed cataract surgery which Dr. Carlson performed with the same success. He is the best!

Dr. Carlson is a knowledgeable practitioner, a skillful surgeon and a personable individual. Both my wife and I have been his patients over the last five years. He diagnosed a macular issue and referred me to an excellent surgeon. Late last year (2015), he performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes-and I am extremely pleased with the results.
