I was recommended Dr. Carlson through a friend and have been so impressed with her so far! As a mom of a newborn, I was worried when my baby got a rash. I called the office and they were able to see me that same day to assure me everything was normal. At her first wellness check up, Dr. Carlson was extremely thorough and made sure to let me know that everything was going exactly as planned and my baby looked great. Dr. Carlson is very knowledgeable and professional! read more

The best doctor for children! I trust Dr. Carlson on everything for my child. She is the sweetest doctor, caring and so soft spoken. She knows what she is doing and is very smart. She replies extremly quick to any medical questions you have. I have known her since I was a child, she was my doctor as well when I was a child. I was so excited to see that she was avaliable for my child, and I know now that my daughter will have the best care here for all of her check ups. read more

Dr Carlson is amazing. We saw her for 3 years and then we had to move so we couldn't continue our visits. I seriously thought about flying down to see her. She cares about the kids and their parents. She's quick with responding to messages on the patient portal. I was a first time parents and sent lots of messages. At each appointment she asked if I had any questions and I always had a long list and she answered them all. She did all of their injections and she was so quick. Today I saw another pediatrician for my one year old and he got a ton of vaccines and the nurse did them and she was so slow. I felt so bad for my baby. I also loved the handouts she provided at each child wellness exam. I loved their office and the staff as well. The other offices I've been too have been so plain. The paintings on the walls of the office and the exam rooms were so good for distracting little kids and making them feel less scared. And of course the fish tank. I've been to 3 different pediatricians so far and I still think Dr Carlson is so efficient, caring, and knowledgeable. read more

Dr. Carlson is the pediatrician for our two year old and eight year old and she is wonderful. She is actually the best doctor I have had the pleasure of knowing for myself or my kids' needs, period. She is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and warm. I wish I had known about her when my son was very small! We love this office and the staff is great too. Highly recommend. read more

Dr.Carlson is one in a million, she is absolutely one of the best pediatricians we have seen. We moved to the area last year and luckily found Dr.Carlson. She has amazing bedside manner and really listens to the parents/patients about any concerns or questions. She is very through and always lets you know of any upcoming vaccines. Her knowledge and medical advice is invaluable. My daughter has seen her twice and feels very comfortable with her. Definitely very happy we found her and will continue to her have as our children pediatrician. read more

Dr Carlson is the best! We recommend her to all of our friends in the area with new babies. She is fast but thorough, answers all of our questions and concerns, and really helps us make sure we're doing everything we can for our kids' health. Her team is very kind, friendly, and efficient, too. I also like the online interface for records and communication. Doctor Carlson is incredibly responsive to questions and concerns, and has gotten back to me within hours even on weekends or evenings. I am SO thankful that Dr Carlson is our pediatrician. Now that I'm a mom of two, I feel like I'm always running around like crazy trying to keep my kids healthy and caught up on things. Dr Carlson is always good at making sure we get everything we need, we get in quickly on short notice when the kids have a sudden need, and the Doctor and staff are very compassionate and sensitive to me, my husband, and our kids. Babies and sick kids can be really overwhelming, and I feel like they're so aware of that and kind to us. Can't say enough good things. I am so glad we happened to find the greatest doctor so close to home! read more

I have 2 daughters- 8 and 7 years old. We've been going to Dr. Carlson for the past 7 years. She truly cares about her patients. When my 2nd daughter was born she took a blood test with Dr. Carlson. The results were fine. But my phone was not working properly at the time. So Dr. Carlson, herself, could not reach me. Once I fixed my phone it turns out, Dr. Carlson called me 9 times and kept leaving messages. She was so persistent with great test results, I could just imagine what lengths she would go for bad results! Also, she administers all shots to patients herself. She is quick about it and does a great job distracting my girls. Dr. Carlson is great with my girls, always putting them at ease with jokes and conversations. The front office is also very polite and helpful everytime. Plus, this office has a sick entrance. Good for those in waiting room who are not sick. The only con I can think of is she does talk very very fast...parents need to get use to it. Also, she is very direct. She will tell you if it is a "parenting issue". But we love her more for that. I highly highly recommend Dr. Carlson and will not go to another pediatrician unless forced to. read more

She is the BEST!!! My son is the pickiest kid and there is something about her that is so soothing and non threatening he loves her! Some times at random he will ask if we can go to her office because he wants to just tell her hello. It's so nice to have a doctor that makes your kids comfortable, because the last thing parents need is to have that fight that they don't want to go to the doctor. Not the case with my kids! They love her!!! read more

We started seeing Dr. Carlson when my 7 year old was born and have been with her since then. She and her staff are absolutely incredible! Appointments are always available when my kids are sick. The office staff, Sandy, Gina, and Mona will do anything they can to get us forms completed or appointments made. I know I can always call and they'll be happy to help us out with whatever we need. Dr. Carlson is always very thorough. She's great with the kids and they love going to see her. They also look forward to seeing Mona at the front desk. She is so personable and kind and always greets us with a smiling face! We highly recommend this office and Dr. Carlson! read more

Dr. Carlson is amazing! She's always there for the pts and the parents. We've been going to her over 20 years! Love lover her!!!

Dr. Carlson really came through in a pinch. My son's pediatrician was out of town and she responded right away to what was going on. She went above and beyond. Thank you so much! Robin D read more

Dr Carlson was our pediatrician choice before my girls were ever born. Recommended by other doctors I did the research and she is one of the best in her field. When my two little girls were born and in the NICU she came in to check on them and get updates, and the hospital had not even officially released them into her medical care. She took time out of her busy schedule every time she was in the hospital for her registered patients to stop in NICU, see them and see me. My one daughter has a immune deficiency and she always calls me back if I call no matter what the time, to discuss the issue and what we need to do to get her the best care we can. She gives you information and details other doctors fail to discuss, and fully supports our family in every way medically. I have never - ever been disappointed in her care or in the care from her team. They say as a new mom you need to follow your gut instinct, and I am glad I did when I picked her to watch over my twins. Thank You Dr Carlson. read more

I would recommend Dr. Carlson to anyone! She is compassionate and an intelligent Doctor. She really gets to know her patients and their parents. You don't see that in Doctor offices anymore. read more

My son loves doctor Carlson. She knows how to talk with him. And I really appreciate how fast she's coming back with the results from any lab test or x Ray. read more

Dr Carlson has been our pediatrician since 2009. We couldn't imagine having anyone else look after the health of our three boys. Dr Carlson has always been attentive and caring. She has left no question unanswered and has always had helpful advice in getting us through jaundice with newborns, bronchitis even appendicitis. Most importantly she has always made our boys feel comfortable. read more

Dr. Carlson is the best!! She has been has been our Pediatrician since our twins were born in 2000. She is kind, responsive, and efficient. When the twins were little we would take "first available" to get in the office to see someone quickly (since she is in a doctor's group) but we did not have positive experiences. We learned that Dr. Carlson is special and had a special connection to our boys so she would easily make them comfortable and access their medical needs. Even after we moved three times, our one constant was Dr. Carlson. She was worth the long drive and continuity of care. I highly recommend Dr. Carlson. Now that the twins have aged-out Dr. C. is helping me screen doctors to pick their new adult doctor in our neighborhood. read more

Dr Carlson has been our pediatrician since my first son was born. She is knowledgeable, helpful and very good with my boys. I trust her opinions and the staff is always kind. They really try to stay on schedule and I have rarely had to wait. read more

I had to find a new pediatrician because our insurance is apparently having some beef with my daughter's old pediatrician's office. (BOO, UNITED HEALTHCARE!) The doctor's office is clean and there are lots of toys to keep your kid occupied. HOWEVER, we did wait almost an hour to get put into a room to wait for the doctor. An hour? Really? THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE IN THE WAITING ROOM. WHY DID WE NEED TO WAIT AN HOUR? Do you have any idea what it's like to wait for an hour with a toddler? THANKFULLY, my daughter and my cousin's girl were REALLY good. But honestly, waiting an hour for a toddler is like waiting for 4 hours as an adult. It must've been brutal for the kids. Anyway, once the doctor did see us, I kind of liked her. She was pretty to-the-point and direct. A little different than I'm used to, but not in a bad way. She was good with my daughter and she was very nice and professional. We will most likely go see her again next year. ALSO, they have lollipops for the kids after. The other doc only had lame stickers. The kids were quite pleased with that. read more

Dr. Carlson is my daughter's second pediatrician. When my daughter turned 12, she wanted to switch from a male doctor to a female doctor. We are very pleased with our choice of Dr. Carlson. She is easy to talk to, she has children of her own and can easily relate to many issues regarding kids. She is very easy-going and has a cool and caring bedside manner. She is , for lack of a better word , very chill , and doesn't make my daughter feel awkward when she has to put on that paper robe! Also a Plus - the waiting room is very large, the staff is incredibly friendly and there's plenty of parking. read more

Dr. Carlson is great! I like the fact that she answers every question and concern! Been my son's Doctor since day 1 and i trust her very much. read more

My kids have been seeing Dr. Carlson for their whole lives (18 16 and 13). Dr. Carlson has always been a great doctor to them and always is very attentive to our extra parental questions. Its a busy world and busy office but she always is pretty spot on on the appointments and we love seeing her and hearing her advice! We generally see her once or twice a year and like her presentation of the issues/facts whenever there is a "issue". Thanks Dr. C!!! read more

My siblings and I went to her when we were all litte kids and I have nothing but good things to say about her and the service. Yes there were a few times the wait time was long but she always got us in for appointments when we needed to be seen and when we were being seen we got the best service weve had with any doctor. Im very grateful for all shes done for me and my family! read more

Dr. Carlson is a great doctor. She takes time to do a throughout examination and do not hesitate to have additional tests and/or exams to rule out all possible scenarios. We couldn't be more grateful for her caring! read more

Dr Bette Carlson is an amazing Pediatrician. My one daughter was very sickly has a 5th and 6th grader. She got broken blood vessels all over her body like measles. Unexplained. Dr Carlson was upbeat made us all feel good. Said it would go away in time and was not contagious. She was right. Then my daughter could not eat food anymore she had an intestine problem. We were sad when we could no longer go to her due to my girls age. My girls are now extremely healthy adults. I will be forever grateful. read more

I saw Dr Carlson for my son's one year appointment. The front desk staff and nurses were fine but from the moment Dr Carlson walked in for our appointment all she did was talk AT me. I wasn't able to ask any questions that I had, nor did she ask. I was hardly able to get a word out during the whole appointment. She came into the exam room very loudly and made my baby very nervous, which is normal at this age. Our last pediatrician (out of state) would come in and warm up the conversation before jumping in and examining a baby. My son cried through almost the whole appointment and he LOVES meeting new people. She was fairly rough with her physical examination and didn't give my son a chance to calm down or be soothed. She recommended several practices that strongly go against our parenting style. Our baby still wakes up in the night and she flat out said that we should just leave him to cry when he wakes. He is also really close to walking and she suggested we buy a walking toy. I'm pretty sure human babies figured out how to walk for thousands of years without walking toys. We also had an alternative vaccine schedule, for various reasons, and she completely disregarded our plan that I had brought, even after my protests several times and then she got out the vaccines right then and there and gave them to my child. I didn't even receive the literature on the vaccines administered, which is standard practice. Needless to say, this was the most hap hazard doctors visit I have EVER experienced. I will not be seeing doctor carlson again and would not recommend her to anyone with a child under five. I'm sure she is better with older children, but this was not a good fit for us. read more

So happy that I didn't even need an appointment or have to wait for the doctor. Very clean office with lot's to keep the kids occupied.
