Kind Words About Dr. Carson
Dr. Carson is personable, knowledgeable and spends a lot of time with you. He seems to care and freely gives his advice. As a nurse, I’ve met many physicians, and he is a keeper.
I am forever grateful to have found Dr. Carson, a physician who sees the entire medical picture without ever losing focus on the patient who is at the center, His responsiveness, kindness and compassion renewed the confidence in my health I had lost. When he reassured me I would be okay, I knew I could believe it.
Dr. Carson is always great. I am a long-time patient of his. He readily listens and explains in very understandable language. He has a wealth of knowledge and is ready to share. I am very comfortable bringing up issues of concern and questions. He has sincere interest in my health and makes sure I’m doing well and following instructions. Overall, a great, caring doctor with a terrific, positive approach.
I credit Dr. Carson as being one of the main reasons I’m alive today….and I am here telling you this story eight years later. It is very hard to find a physician of his caliber and I would follow him anywhere.
Dr. Carson has been an absolute blessing after my complicated pregnancy with preeclampsia. When I needed specialized care, a friend recommended his concierge practice, and I couldn’t be more grateful. What sets Dr. Carson apart is his unique dual specialty in both OBGYN and internal medicine, which is invaluable for new mothers like me who experienced medically complex births. He truly understands the full picture of postpartum health concerns.
His concierge model means he’s incredibly accessible—he’s responded to my urgent questions within minutes and has even made himself available after hours when I had concerns about mastitis. The personalized attention and care I receive is exceptional. Dr. Carson takes his time during appointments, never rushes, and thoroughly explains everything in a way that makes me feel heard and understood.
If you’re a new mom dealing with birth complications or anyone looking for exceptional, attentive medical care, I cannot recommend Dr. Carson highly enough. Finding a doctor with his combination of expertise, compassion, and availability is truly one of a kind.
