WFourteen years ago after just moving to Bend, I became pregnant with our fourth child. I was very concerned having left my previous doctor that was familiar with all my pregnancy challenges. With all three previous pregnancies I was diagnosed with severe Hyperemesis. Those pregnancies included hospital stays as well as one pregnancy that required an in home nurse and a pic line for hydration. Dr. Carlson was fantastic and very reassuring. He listened to all my concerns. He was kind and compassionate as well as proactive and thorough. He always listened and I never felt rushed. I received top notch care from him and his staff from my first visit to an amazing labor and delivery.
Fast forward 14 years and I’m back in Bend after having moved away and now entering Menopause. My expectations were exceeded once again at my first visit back with him. Attentive, thorough, and compassionate. Dr.Carlson is simply the best!

Dr. Carlson delivered my 6th (8/7/24) baby and I needed a c-section. I am so thankful to have had a trusted provider for all of my pregnancies. He got my baby out safely and that is exactly what my goal was. So very thankful.
