Experienced, caring, so gentle, and totally understanding, that I can not imagine why anyone would give this vet any less than 5 stars.
She not only treats her patients with special care but understands what our animals mean to us and so treats us too.
She ensures her staff have the same high standards and I trust her with my life when I entrust my 2 deeply loved fur babies to her.
Thank you Dr. Carlson for 20 years of such special care.Sheila

I am a cat sitter, and saw Barbara Carlson DVM, twice while our neighbour was out of town. Carlson was just great; she knew the cat, spent a good deal of time with us and him, taught me to draw blood to test his sugar, and took my phone calls as well. The prices are VERY reasonable, and Carlson is good. I've had animals and good vets all my life, and I would definitely recommend this woman. The hospital is not super high-tech, but there are specialists for fancy equipment. Definitely a good place. We have another neighbour that loves Carlson for her dog. :)

Owned and run by Dr. Barbara Carlson, not only an experienced practitioner but a warm and gentle person who treats every animal brought to her with thoughtfulness for your pets emotional, as well as physical well being.I have been a client of hers for about 16 years now and she and her well trained staff have always been wonderful to our pets. Including even trying to keep the financial costs as low as possible.She is very busy and perhaps you will need to go on a waiting list, if you are a new client, as she is very very popular, but if you acquire an extra Pet then she automatically cares for it i.e. once you are her regular client you always are.I can not recommend her too highly.

Was very good to my cat. Waited a little bit for the scheduled appointment. When the day came they were right on time in and out fast and cheap to :)Now my favorite place for pet care!

I had gone to this Doc By the name of Dr Ball. I heard from so many people he was a good doctor. So I took my dog,and the doctor did a surgical procedure, my dog was badly hurt and injured by this doctor I don't recommend him to anyone as far as surgeries goes. If you all you the story you seat down and cry in tears.
