Kent Carson's Online Review Report Card

Patient since 2007- wonderful doctor and staff.

Dr. Carson depends on freezing off any bump or suspicious skin lesion - everything gets burned off without appropriate analysis.  My personal experience was the "removal" of an unsightly mole - 3 office visits and mole remains.  Worse, my husband requested a consult for an ear lesion.  He has a history of melanoma.  The diagnosis was that the current lesion was not cancer - it was frozen "off" - 2 office visits - lesion remained.  A second opinion and the diagnosis = cancerous lesion and surgical removal.Additionally, if questioned regarding options or outcomes, the attitude is very condescending, sharp and uninformative.  Office staff is rude.We have nothing positive to say about an experience in this office

Love his service! My son had a rash on his arm. Took him several times to his pediatric and it only got worse with the creams she had prescribed. As soon as Dr. Carson saw the rash he diagnosed it gave him a cream and lotion and a week later it was gone!

I've been seeing Dr Carson for years.  He has been successfully treating my psoriasis and always gives me a thorough check on skin lesions.  He takes a preventative approach without getting you alarmed.  The guy knows his stuff but also has a great rapport with patients.I just moved from the area and hope I find someone as good.

i saw Dr for the first time a month ago for some dryness on my skin. He diagnosed it right away as eczema. He prescribed a hydrating cream and a steroid and it cleared up in a couple days. He also gave me a coupon for the prescription and free samples. He is also very friendly.

I wish the other low rating reviews were posted earlier.  Early Feb 2010, I drove a long way and took my son to see Dr. Carson for his acne problem based on reviews on the web. We are very disappointed. The wait was short and the front desk was friendly. But it took about only 5 minutes for the appointment total. Dr. Carson came into the room, barely even looked at my son's face, and started to write on his paper and tossed some samples to us. Then he offered the cortisone shots saying it's very effective without explaining to us any side effects. And that was it. He was gone. When I came home and started research on the shots, it was not good. The shots didn't help reduce the acne problem at all, worse, after two months now, it still left several hard and dark spots on my son's face. We did go back for the second time after a month, the appointment was even shorter, about 3 minutes total. Eventually we went to a different doctor and so much nicer. I would definitely advice you to stay away from this doctor for acne treatment

I have been seeing Dr. Carson for six years, and I'm one of those folks with many moles and a need to see the dermatologist regularly. My visits would be embarassing if he weren't so great with putting patients at ease, as I have to have an all over check each visit to make sure I'm okay. I have referred my clients to him (I'm a psychotherapist) and my friends, and in two of these cases, chronic conditions for which they had consulted other dermatologists were correctly diagnosed and cleared up.For me, he makes a difficult visit, comfortable, is thorough, great communicator, and treats me as painlessly as possible. The office staff is friendly, and the office runs on time.He is fairly fast, as some reviewers indicate, however he is quick to offer follow up visits, without much hassle, which can be more thorough. I feel he does this to keep all his appointments on time rather than to put me off.
