I am a huge proponenet of "old school" doctors that actually listen to your concerns, share their expertise, and together come up with a plan that will work for you not only in that moment, but also in the long run. His office staff is caring, and gets you to where you need to be. It may take some time, but you will get there. All in all, he's a very kind, compassionate human who wants the best for his patients. Yes it may be a long wait to see him once you're in the examination room, don't worry, the wait is worth it!!!

I am being excessively generous with the second star here and the only reason I am giving two is…read morebecause I like Dr Carlson. He's a very nice person and the staff in his office are also pleasant. But from a quality of care perspective, you should find another primary care physician. I made my appointment as a new patient a year ago. As is the case with US healthcare, I had to wait months for my appointment. My initial appointment, even though I had health concerns, was mostly just a meet and greet and filling out paperwork, including records request for prior doctors and specialists. And that was it. Paid a copay, and they billed my insurance company. Second visit was 4 months or so later. This was to give Dr Carlson time to review prior records. When I showed up, again, no exam at all. Dr Carlson spoke briefly about the records he received and wanted to send me out for blood work, even though I had blood work already. Turns out they didn't receive records from everyone, including a specialist who had just done an extensive blood panel a month or so prior. So, Dr Carlson sent me on my way while they attempted to get that paperwork. Had me schedule another appt in 4 months. Copay and insurance billed again, for nothing. Fast forward to this past week and my last appointment. Dr Carlson spent most of the time talking about all of the data he received from the specialist. And while he did ask me if I had any health concerns, he told me my questions were good ones for the specialist and I should ask him. He also suggested getting another opinion on my issues. But that was it. Once again, no exam. However, this time he said he was going to bill this as my annual physical because then I won't have a copay. I don't know why I didn't say anything then and there. I should have. But that's 3 visits. 3 times billing my insurance company and two copays. And one of them billing as an annual physical without giving me any type of exam. What kind of doctor or medical practice is this? How do you have me come in 3 times without giving me any kind of exam? Apparently, they are just here to bill your insurance as much as possible. People come to primary care doctors specifically to help find any issues early, but you can't detect issues in advance of them becoming problems if you don't conduct basic health exams. Moreover, the visits he had me come for could have all been handled in advance of any visit. The office could have contacted me at any time before my first visit to have me fill out records releases. And if any records didn't show up timely, they could have contacted me to follow up with those other doctors. That would have eliminated the need for those first two visits. Instead, they were inefficient - presumably because they just wanted to needlessly and endlessly bill my insurance. Anyway, long story short, Dr Carlson is a nice man and maybe a good doctor, but the way this practice is run is horrible. It's clearly more about billing your insurance and collecting your copay than it is about your health. Don't waste a year of your life like I did. Go somewhere else for your PCP needs.

From the check in experience all the way to your checking out experience, the staff is as kind and caring as you could ask for. Dr Carine is not just a physician, he's a professional with an unsurpassed bedside manner, over the years I've come to think of him as a friend. I literally tell him things I don't tell my partner. The buck doesn't stop there - there is a very responsive after hours number where you can leave a voice message or send a text to and they will help resolve your issue ASAP. I couldn't speak more highly of this genuine human and his "on point" staff! I hope for you, the reader, that he is accepting new patients!

I came back and I was given another injection which was painful as I felt no relief from an anesthesic. I asked the doctor what was nect. Her assistant said "No pokes" She said next I'd be getting an oblation. I tried to speak with the doctor about what was happening with no luck. All was very strange. I cancelled all future appointments but kept getting a referral from, I guess, the oblation doctor. Obviously, this doctor does little talking. Doctor showed little emotion, even when I was screaming from the second injection.

I've only been a patient of Dr. Nanda for about a year now but I've seen her quite a few times…read morebecause it's been a rough health year for me. Dr. Nanda is amazing. She truly gives her patients her full attention. She never makes me feel rushed even if she's running behind schedule and I'm sure she has tons of patients waiting for her. Keep this in mind though...a great and attentive doctor usually means you won't be seen right at your appointment time because they are giving everyone the individual attention they deserve. Dr. Nanda recently sold her private practice and is now a part of AdventHealth. Same great service though. The best part of all: I went for my first mammogram this year and they found some suspicious mass areas that required biopsies and other tests...when Dr. Nanda saw test results coming in repeatedly, she personally called me one morning just to make sure I was doing okay because she knew what I was going through was stressful. This 30 seconds of her time made me feel so special. I will be her patient for as long as she's practicing medicine just because of this small gesture that meant so much to me. If you're in the market for a new primary, look no further!
