I am very pleased with my total knee replacement done by Dr. Joseph Carlson. He explained the procedure in detail before my procedure. My followup appointment was also done in a professional manner. I would highly recommend Dr. Carlson for any knee replacement surgery.

After suffering a bad break to my femur bone I was referred to Dr. Joe Carlson. Dr. Joe and his staff were very knowledgeable and caring. Because of the nature of the break I had a long recovery and many office visits. Each and every time I was treated with the highest care and respect. I highly recommend Dr. Joe Carlson!
