This office is absolutely wonderful. Very professional. The ladies at the front are kind and greeting. Dr. Carlson is a great dentist. I have a favorite assistant. Her name is Kim! She’s very down to earth. I also have a favorite hygienist but I can’t remember her name. I haven’t met a person I didn’t like in this office.

Went in as a new patient today for a tooth that had been bothering me for about a week. From the moment I stepped into the office until I left, I had nothing but positive experiences with the entire staff and Dr. Carlson. I was brought back for x-rays relatively quickly and seen by Dr. C soon after. I had a cavity that needed to be filled, and it was done just in time so I could make it to my morning class. While I'm not a stranger to having cavities filled, Dr. C and his assistant Erica talked me through the entire process and were incredibly attentive to any questions I had—something I have hardly, if ever, experienced with any other dentist I've been seen by. I cannot recommend this office enough, thank y'all for being so wonderful!
