Dr. Gary L. Carlson

You will appreciate the high level of personal attention that Dr. Carlson provides for each of his patients.

At a time when there is a tendency for delegation of many procedures and tasks to other staff members, Dr. Carlson recognizes the importance of performing critical procedures personally. At the same time, it should be understood that Dr. Carlson's very competent professional staff is capable of performing many procedures properly.

However, at the initial exam, it is Dr. Carlson who personally examines the patient, explains the conditions and treatment needs, and who discusses arrangements. Similarly, after diagnostic records including dental models and x-rays have been taken, it is Dr. Carlson who personally reviews the treatment plan choices with the paitent/parent. During treatment appointments, Dr. Carlson sees each patient, and he provides direction and very close supervision for all procedures.

Dr. Carlson is very accessible, and he is pleased to respond to questions in a timely manner. When you call our office, you will be greeted by a real live person, not a machine!
