About

Bio	Dr. Carlson loves orthopedics because it allows him to help patients with debilitating injuries return to their normal activities. His anatomy classes initially sparked his interest in medicine and led him to choose orthopedics as a specialty. Dr. Carlson loves meeting people and enjoys working with each patient to understand their unique situation and help them recover. He strives to spend extra time with his patients to understand their goals by developing a personalized treatment plan. Dr. Carlson tends to be more conservative with his surgical treatment and likes to give nonsurgical treatment options before moving to more invasive surgical treatments. When he is not taking care of patients, Dr. Carlson enjoys spending time with his family, skiing, and golfing.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Carlson!

Great bedside manner. He listened well to my symptoms and gave me a few conservative options to help. He didn’t pressure into surgery or into a certain decision, which I appreciated. Check-in and wait time was also great. I would definitely recommend Dr. Carlson!

Definitely would recommend.

When no other doctors believed me and MRIs said there was nothing wrong dr Carlson got me into surgery and sure enough found a torn meniscus. I am so grateful for him and how he believed me. Definitely would recommend.

I can highly recommend him after being a patient.

Dr. Carlson did a great job with my shoulder surgery. He explained the options, was very conservative in his approach, was minimally-invasive, and the surgery was successful. He is a skilled doctor. I did my research to find a great doctor and surgeon and I can highly recommend him after being a patient.

I felt very well taken care by him & his office staff.

Dr. Carlson is the BEST. I was experiencing severe pain in my leg & had been told it was from my torn hamstring. He was very thorough in finding out the real cause behind my pain & we learned that it was my torn hip. He never pressured me into surgery but gave me some options & answered all of my questions. He did a wonderful job with my hip surgery & I received 100% pain relief! I felt very well taken care by him & his office staff.

Definitely reccomend Dr Carlson and staff!

Really great office! Front office staff is really nice and it is really easy to schedule appointments. Dr Carlson takes the time to answer all your questions, and give different treatment options. He was really great at helping me decide if surgery was the best option. He did labral hip repair surgeries on both hips for me, and I really appreciate all the follow-up care both he and Kelsey have provided me! Definitely reccomend Dr Carlson and staff!
