Reviews
The two visits I have had at your practice, I have been very satisfied with the way I was treated. Everyone that I interacted with were courteous, professional, and kind. The treatment I received eased my discomfort. I am looking forward to my next appointment.
People were friendly and efficient.
Excellent experience overall. I was seen promptly, and my visit with Dr. Carlson was helpful, informative and pleasant. My immediate problem was taken care of, and I was given good advice for follow up self care.
Dr. Kaplan was professional with great empathy to my injury. You can do your own research but this guy is a rockstar. Had a longer wait than I like but in all fairness they squeezed me in, in less than 24 hours which is unheard of with a Doctor with a resume like his.
My visit with Dr Carlson was great. He took his time with me, answered all of my questions and I never felt rushed. I would highly recommend him to any seeking his services.
Excellent just what the Doctor ordered

I was very satisfied, informative, professional and timely.
I enjoyed meeting Dr. Carlson, he explained everything and gave me options. I appreciated his professional opinion and not taking a more aggressive route to performing surgery and trying something else first.
Really enjoy going to this office. Everyone is efficient and pleasant. Love Ken Miner. Has a great manner and is so nice! Never wait for long. It's a great Practice!
Everything was fantastic regarding my visit. Dr. Carlson knew exactly what the issue was with my wrist and thumb and treated me accordingly.
Great experience with Dr. Carlson. Attentive, professional, and very thorough.
Great Physician
I had a really nice experience with Dr Carlson during the evaluation, surgery, and recovery periods. He is personable and professional and it was nice getting to know him. I also saw Ken Minor PA on a few visits and had a great experience with him as well. Overall, I would absolutely recommend Active Orthopaedics, Dr Carlson, and Ken Minor.
Very professional.
Dr. Carlson was knowledgeable and extremely helpful. After being in pain for three weeks, his diagnosis and bedside manner put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend Dr. Carlson to any patient looking for a comprehensive, thorough treatment plan given with respect and kindness. Thank you!
