Dr. Lawrence A. Carlsson Jr, MD

both myself and my husband are patients of Dr. Carlsson’s and I have diabetes and other health issues and contrary to what the previous person wrote in their review, I have found quite the opposite with Dr. Carlsson he has always been very straightforward with his advice and always let me know what he felt was best for me and my situation in his opinion, he did not just tell me what he thought I wanted to hear he told me what I needed to hear about my health and what I needed to do to take care of myself and I feel that he is a very good and experienced doctor and has always taken good care and given good advice to me and my husband and I would highly recommend this doctor I feel that he listens to you and understands that sometimes you may not always want to hear what he has to say but it needs to be said because it is in the best interest of a patient’s health, and from the beginning he had recommended a colonoscopy for my husband because of his age and has always kept us up on what different preventative care we needed to do because of our age , I also wanted to mention that Dr. Carlsson had also taken care of my mom for many many years before she eventually passed of dementia and Alzheimer’s but she always talked about how she liked him as a doctor, so I just wanted to write this review because I appreciate the fact that Dr. Carlsson gives you the information that you need but he’s also respectful to let people make their own decisions about their healthcare without making them feel bad for not maybe always exactly taking his advice, which I greatly appreciate because I have a lot of things going on in my life that’s difficult to deal with and I’m also trying to manage my healthcare and sometimes I don’t always do the best job of following the doctor‘s advice but I do try hard to do so but Dr. Carlsson doesn’t make me feel horrible for not doing that and that does mean a lot to me, so this review is an honest review of my personal experience with this doctor and also my husband’s experience, I must say I have not been able in 30 years of being married, to get my husband to a doctor much he just does not like going at all and I had a really tough time trying to get him to go to Dr. Carlsson at first just because he was a doctor and It’s just hard for him, it was nothing personal towards Dr. Carlsson at all but I will tell you the first time he went and he walked out of his appointment ,he told me how much he liked Dr. Carlsson and now he has no problem going in for his check ups and required visits, so I’m grateful that my husband has a doctor now that he feels comfortable with. And I also wanted to mention that he has a very nice office staff and nurses there, they are always friendly and accommodating and it’s nice to have a small town office where are you always see the same faces

My mother in law has been under Dr. Carlsson’s care for the last 30 years and now (thankfully) at 67 she has decided to switch doctors to get a better hold on her diabetes. She is also scheduled to have a colonoscopy for the first time in her life - FOR THE FIRST TIME! Where is the preventative care from this doctor!??? He is reckless beyond belief because he does what the patient wants and not what is ultimately best for their health. Completely irresponsible.

Dr. Carlsson is a wonderful physician that genuinely cares about his patients.
