Charming,until you realize he's not actually listening &brushes you off on the way to his next patient.My discectomy/fusion never fused,prob because he didn't tell me to avoid anti-inflamms. He NEVER TOLD ME I didn't fuse and didn't give me any limitations/do "whatever I want" so I trained for triathlons and hardcore obstacle races as usual. (I think he didn't believe me when I said how much I worked out.) Told me I was having a "muscle issue" when I had actually had broken a screw in my neck!

Wait time: 90 minutes. Dr Carlson came into the room, seemed congenial, listened to my concerns about how my constant back/neck pain had made it impossible to be active and do the things I love. I told him I was becoming very depressed due to my physical limitations. His recommendation? Exercise and lose weight. I'd love to exercise and lose weight but there is this tiny problem of crippling pain, muscle spasms and limited mobility due to degenerative disc disease. Depressing visit!

I have been seen by McFarland, Sureja and Carlson at Orthopedic and Spine Center off and on since 2013. I have enjoyed their facility, staff, and most of all, each of them. Dr. Carlson performed a multilevel lumbar fusion on me 12/2017 and while it is a fresh procedure I can say I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to handle my procedure. Great guy. Knowledgable. I'd refer any of my family and friedns to him and his business. Thanks again

I was scared when I was referred to a surgeon, I admit. Dr Carlson prescribed Supartz shots for my knee. His nurse, Tonia, realized I was skittish and was very patient with me. I’ve since had a knee replacement. The incision was straight and healed perfectly! I tried the OSC Physical Therapy and loved them! I need another knee replacement and will ONLY go to Dr Carlson. I highly recommend him.

Saw Dr carlson as referral from my primary care physician. He evaluated all concerns. But I don't think he is the right fit for me and my insurance restrictions . Will seek another opinion rather than returning in another year.

Dr. Carlson is one of the finest doctors I have ever had. He is a skilled professional and I feel extremely blessed to have him as my surgeon. He has performed 3 flawless surgeries on me. I would highly recommend him!

I am so pleased with the success of my lumbar spine fusion. I had "drop foot", which is a scary scenario for a 75 year old. I am so thankful that I chose Dr. Jeffrey Carlson for my surgery. He and his professional staff met every need for my comfort. I was so pleased and amazed with my complete healing. In my opinion, everyone deserves the best care they can receive during any procedure and Dr. Carlson and his staff at Orthopedic Spine Center is absolutely my recommendation.

I had spent a year and a half trying to find out the problem with my arm pain and the numbness. After seeing a few different dr my general physician recommended ,I found out I had a building disc and went to see a neurologist . I did not feel that comfortable with his explanation of my problem and the process so I put off surgery . Waited about 6 months in pain until a random person told me about Dr Carlson. From first visit felt at ease and he explained everything I needed to feel comfortable.

This Guy is probably one of the best doctors on the East Coast. About a year ago I didn't think I was gonna walk again but I'm walking now because of Dr. Carlson Not only is he a good doctor he's a good person which makes the difference
