Dr. C. Jeffrey Carlson

I don't have anything positive to say about this Dr. She has horrible diagnostic capabilities and bedside manner. She unnecessarily frightens her patients and argues with them and their family regarding their desired last wishes. Her delayed diagnosis of a hospital borne bacterial infection lead to the unfortunate death of my mother. When she finally determined what was wrong with my mother, she tried to blame the delayed diagnosis on me for not reporting her symptoms. The absurdidty of this can not be overstated since my mother was in the hospital under this doctors care the entire time.My mother had the misfortune to be under this doctors care twice. The initial experience was so bad, she requested a different doctor but the request was denied. This unfortunately resulted in her delayed diagnosis (4 days) and ultimate death.

Took four weeks to find out results of echocardiogram. Staff never returned calls asking for an appointment and when I finally did come in, ended up waiting more than 50 minutes. I wasn't the only one; another patient had to leave while I was there because she couldn't wait indefinitely either.
