This guy is great! Unfortunately, he doesn't do that much work anymore. His protege/partner is technically very good but does not have his 'chairside' manner, years of building good instincts, and artistic creativity. You will be asked to pay Carlson prices nonetheless. If you can get Dr Carlson to participate or do your treatment, you will get none better and you absolutely will like the result. The office people are excellent- especially in getting the most from your insurance carrier. His office is state-of-the-art. The downside is that he is pricey, i have experienced more root canals than i would have expected, and the material used for crowns is, to me, suspect in longevity. I would highly recommend him in any case.
About Hygienist: The hygienists are very skilled and a pleasure (oddly) to deal with.
