Dr. Carson is prepared for a meeting with questions after reviewing other providers notes and he raises questions and asks for comments. He offers explanations on lab results, is a good listener, communicator and includes you in the decision making. He takes the time you need and treats you with respect and understanding. You leave a consult with a plan, which is always needed.
