Dr. Carson was a great surgeon and was able to patch up my trimal fracture. The clinic in general has some work to do on communication. I have had several occasions where communications on scheduling has impacted me, and medical documentation has been hard to get or unclear on how it needs to be requested. I would recommend over-communicated and always asking questions to verify and asking for it in writing where applicable.
Dr. Carson is knowledgeable, polite, explains the process and results well, and provides good care. My interactions with him have been very good and I appreciate his approach in explaining the process thoroughly.
