Dr. Stephen R Carlson, MD

He has been my doctor literally, since I was born. He was the doctor on point when my mom went into labor. I've been a patient of his since the moment I was born. He is an absolutely wonderful doctor and I would recommend him to anyone! His nurse Julie is so fun and makes you feel 100% comfortable, she even paints her nails to match her scrubs. Everyone is very professional. They make you feel completely, 120% comfortable. If you are in need of a doctor in the Northland, you won't find a better one than Dr. Carlson! <3

I have had DR. Carlson for years now, he is a kind and patient DR. He tries to be a good listener, and checks you out well. He refers you to specialists if he feels you need one for a specific problem. I have never had him be rude to me. I have many different things going on at once...Just a really nice DR.

When I got pregnant with my first daughter in 1994 I was referred to Dr. Carlson. After seeing him I completely switched all my care needs with any other doctor right to him and he has been my doctor ever since. Even though I know he hates that I smoke, he doesn't chastise me for it every time I come in. I have a pet peeve of when I have to see a doctor and they tell me for example that my big toe hurts because I smoke.I feel comfortable with him doing any of my preventative care including "female type visits". He is very comfortable to be around and talk to.I highly recommend him for any of your doctoring needs.The only downfall is he is so popular that waiting time can get a bit long but I feel he is worth it.
