Gary Carlson, MD's Online Review Report Card

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Carlson forever 8 years. He has been a great medical resource for me. He is always thorough in his exams and has often been very accommodating in seeing me if an urgent need. He is also excellent at monitoring and answering emails through the NextMD site. Very fortunate to have him as my primary physician.

I have been seeing Dr. Carlson for 12 years. He is an outstanding Physician and through the years I have found his staff to be courteous and very professional.

I have been going to Dr. Carson for several years. He is fantastic. He is caring , and experienced and has treated me for several health issues that a previous Dr could not.

I love Dr. Carlson.  He is kind, takes the time to listen and is extremely knowledgeable in his diagnosis and recommendations.  His staff is wonderful.  Ignore the one star review as she is profane.

I have been going to Dr Carlson for years now. He is fantastic! Wonderful and caring Dr and has helped me with several health issues in the past. I love his staff as well. I have always had a wonderful experience there!

I like him. He's a very good doctor. Very thorough but I do not like all of his assistants!they are fuckin rude!they put you on hold for like 30mins and they will hanged up the phone on you or they will tell you that they will call you back but they would never do it.I was trying to make an appt preferably afternoon and I was told they go on their lunchbreak in the afternoon.Like WTF? you take your lunch from 12nn4pm?! zero star!

I agree with another review that Dr. Carlson is fine but his back office is rude and unprofessional, ESPECIALLY Kathy. Ive also been hung up on, cant get call backs and had follow thru on referrals ignored. I even gotten the snotty comment sigh, you again from Kathy. Sadly, retaining such people reflects on the doctors judgement.

I really like Dr Carlson and i hesitate to rate the other factors because i dont go to his office that often. He has moved and i beieve many things have improved.

I love Dr. Carlson and his front office are great! BUT, the receptionist, Kathy, is worse then horrible!!!! and his back office is almost as bad as Kathy. I have an HMO insurance through GNP, and Dr Carlson always tells me he is going to refer me to other doctors. the back office never puts the referral in, unless a call to see what the progress is on my referral and THEN it is put in. also if the doctor I am being referred to needs additional information the back office cant be bothered to send the information requested. When I call the office it takes about 3 trys because, Kathy, will hang up on you, doesnt even try to put you on hold just hangs up on you. She is totally unprofessional, and I cant believe that she is the 1st impression that a new patient gets from this practice.... Very frustrating from a primary care practice.

Good doctor, but hes gone to a Concierge Service. If you dont subscribe to this service for an extra fee, they cant get you an appointment for 3 months. Ive had to go to the emergency room twice for what should have been a doctors visit, but he couldnt see me for several weeks.

Very good doctor, horrible staff. They rarely return calls or forward information properly to other doctors. I finally left him after 10 years.
