Karen was such a fresh of breath air when my 3year old son needed surgery. She was kind, took her time explaining, and building the foundation of trust between her and him. I would highly recommend her for tubes, adenoids, tonsillectomies for kiddos. Thank You Dr. Ahlstrom!!

I have had a few surgical procedures done by Dr. Ahlstrom. Although she has a confidence and seemingly high knowledge regarding her field, this Doctor fails my expectations. After one procedure that was scheduled for a couple hours I ended up in the intensive care unit with a hole in my wind pipe. During this standard procedure the tools she required were not available in the surgical suite, so while I was under aanestesia, she waited twelve hours for the proper instruments to be delivered to the facility before she could finish. Following the procedure, which should have been standard, my throat started swelling up like a balloon. I went back to the facilities ER and went through the hassle of being seen when it was obvious something serious was wrong. Several employees would walk by my ER bed and whisper about how morbid and extreme my condition looked. I was treated in the ICU for several days due to the likelihood of a secondary infection or air infiltrating the area in my chest around my heart. Following the ICU treatment she refused to treat me any longer.

After getting taken back to a room she said she could not see us because she wasn't accepting new patients. .. We were already there in the room. Our son requires 3 bags, 4 oxygen tanks, double stroller, a vent, an oxygen monitor and diaper bag
