Mark D Carlson, MD

"Dr. Carlson is the most caring, kind, comforting medical professional I’ve ever had. He has been my regular OBGYN for years and delivered my first baby this year. Our birth was extremely traumatic but Dr. Carlson did everything right to keep me and baby safe. He also made it a priority to make sure we felt informed, comfortable, and supported. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He genuinely cares about his patients. 100000/10"

"When no one also listen to me, Dr. Carlson sat with me and worked with me to figure out exactly what my pain was. He is the first and only Doctor whom has ever truly fought for me, and with me to make sure that all of my needs are met. I am so glad that I found him and recommend him highly to anybody who is looking. Thank you Dr Carlson."

"The worst doctor I have ever encountered. Not sure if it was some bias as to why I received such terrible care, but he was absolutely unprofessional. I had an emergency c-section on 04/20/2020, but after being opened it was decided by this Dr and another Dr to keep the baby in me. So, while 32 weeks pregnant, coming in for extreme pain in my lower abdomen, I was cut open and sewn back up with my baby still in me with no explanation given. And after "losing" the consent I signed for a c-section, while I was still loopy from the c-section, they tried to get me to sign paperwork that stated I consented to an exploratory procedure, which was not the case, and I refused to sign. After refusing to sign, I was treated terribly. I sat in a room for 12 hours not knowing what was going on with me or my baby, asking to talk to the dr with no prevail, until a nurse finally calls him on her phone, where he proceeds to tell me that he is doing is best, he's under a lot of stress because his father was sick and there was trouble with his wife, while raising his voice and demeaning me and my step-mother. I was never given any information about what was happening. He made snarky comments about the phone call, and how he is one of the "best doctors" while I was even sitting on the operation table for the second time for the second c-section on 04/21/22. I switched my dr to dr. Karre, who is amazing. It has taken me almost a year to talk about what happened. I have a recording of the grossly inappropriate phone call from him as well. I would never recommend this Dr, and I would especially not recommend him to any POC."

"Dr. Carlson walked me through the scariest time of my life. He was kind and knowledgeable and made sure I knew every aspect of my care. But most importantly, he truly listened to me and did all he could to help. I work in healthcare, and I can tell you- he’s the BEST!"

"For anyone who is hesitant about having a male doctor set those fears and concerns aside. In my experience the male doctors I’ve seen are truly gifted and wonderful. I am 42 and have seen tons of doctors do to my chronic illnesses over the years. I can't say enough about the excellent care I receive by Dr Carlson OBGYN at Methodist Women’s Center. He is super friendly, intelligent, kind and very relatable. I felt valued as a person and not just as a patient. I felt validated as a person and that my pain/situation is real. He listened completely to what I said and how I reacted during my exam. He’s genuinely a great person and made suggestions that were livable. Dr Carlson truly cares and his bedside manner and overall humanity should be taught to every doctor. Thank you for caring. It’s means so much!! Sincerely yours, Barbara JS Maas"
